What makes me like Dink, nay, love Dink is because of their hype culture.
How else do we keep the prices of our collections afloat? Every single one of us benefited from Dink's hype culture. Have you check prices of your collection lately? Let just say if I see Clymer around NY, I'll buy him dinner.
What's there to hate? the dude brought in fresh meat. I'll get the BBQ sauce.

I was still working on my first course.
Well, that's one way to look at it. I'm not personally concerned with the value of my collection, so the hype culture that makes watches I want to buy more expensive, is definitely not a positive. For the investor types for which the value of a collection is of utmost importance, they are no doubt happy.
Exactly. I don't really pay attention to the value of the watches I have any more. I am content with what I have. I would be quite happy for the whole watch market to fall on its arse. Then I could actually buy a watch that I liked at a reasonable price rather than twice what it was 6 months ago.
@ngo516 said "Every single one of us benefited from Dink's hype culture." I disagree, the whole market has been hyped, inflated and over-exaggerated to the detriment of people who have a genuine love for watches and not the whole financial/investment side of it.
Not only that, but the hype has gotten so absurd that I don't even like wearing my AP RO 15400 due to the inflated value. I know several people like this. My brother stopped wearing his Rolex Hulk and AP RO 15400. I know a couple of people from other forums that don't wear their Nautilus (Nautili?) because all of the hype and unwanted attention it draws.

LOL. You gave Dink too much credit. They don’t move the needles of RO and Nautilus bracket. That credit goes to Stern and his Tiffany x Patek 5711. That kind of hype can only be created by a much much larger beast with the cooperation of major auction houses. Dink doesn’t go there.
And no. Not wearing your RO is your choice.
My RO is too expensive to wear !…Is a “you” problem.
because I wore it as a daily for 3 years and it's beat to shit
photos or didn’t happen 😉
