In the US, the OB's required 100% upfront. That's why many of us are a bit impatient.
Wow, didn't expect that, I would have assumed that everyone paid a deposit then made the final payment when they collected the watch. What was the deposit situation elsewhere, 10%, 20%, 100% or somewhere in-between?
Not wanting to have a go at you or anyone else but from an impartial point of view it did seem like you came down very hard on Taz and then you’ve gone and done exactly the same thing by flipping your own.
Fair enough make a disapproving comment to him but you were relentless on multiple threads, almost to point of bullying. Then you went and flipped yours..... crackers.

Thank God that you reserved only 2! With £0 you could have reserved multiple indeed.
I find the whole 100% deposit a bit daft, 10% should really hold anything, especially with no firm delivery date.
So Stufflers Mom has flipped the first to subsidise the potential second, good business sense really but behaviour that encourages a degree of negative feedback. At least he is brutally honest about all his intentions.
Looks like they are going to be arriving in greater numbers very shortly, disappointed to miss the anniversary but I guess it was a pipe dream.
Just when I thought it was safe to join this thread as a new comer to the world of Omega and Speedmasters
Was lucky enough to collect my first Speedmaster this week and thought I'd do it in style😀
Can you define 'Serial Flipping is trading', and how that equates to 20% tax please, I am curious as I have never experienced this.
For example, If I buy a car for £1000, service it, give it a thorough valet and sell it for £2000 as a private individual I do not pay tax on this transaction and I can do this a number of times during the year and end up with a better car than the one I started out with if I trade wisely. My activities may raise a question at the licensing centre but otherwise I am doing nothing wrong.
However if I make my living buying and selling cars then yes I would have to pay tax on my earnings once I go past the tax threshold.
Does the same not apply to buying and selling a watch or watches?
A beautiful watch, many congratulations, enjoy and wear in good health.
Please explain?
