In Response To: Do You Guys Think This Went Cheap ()

Thanks guys! this one, from the same seller, now gives me pause as well.

I think that this illustrates a good point. As a relatively new collector how is one to EVER buy a watch. Either you have to pay top dollar (and sometimes dollars that push new heights) or you have to take your chances and roll the dice.

So far I have been lucky – but every time I get ready to buy I read something on a forum and poof all confidence leaves.

I guess I will always be window shopping.
Perhaps I will get lucky with Antiquorum. (plus 20% buyers premium).

Sorry for the rant.
