    Well not really but substitute watch for company and I think that's about right.

    Alas the wonderful watches appear to be at a wonderful price.:(
    But not arguing with the desire to find a wonderful watch at a fair price. The hunt, as always, is part of the fun!

    Great quote though:thumbsup:

    Yea there's definitely a lesson to be learned there about buying other people's problems.

    I still make this same mistake all the time because I think sentimentally rather than analytically with watches but it remains a very valid point.

    Is the Warren Buffet all-you-can-eat?

    BTW I'm far more likely to heed investment advice from Warren Buffett ;)

    He bought the 1803 back in '64, and while it is a dependable timepiece, it has also been a depreciating asset in real dollar terms.

    If only he had gone for the '64 Speedmaster instead.

    Oh well, no one's investment record is perfect.
