So I just realized that I’m the Michael Corleone of watch collectors …

That's normal operating procedure for me. In 2022 I've sold SIX but bought FIVE, almost net zero cost overall. Just the cost of doing business.

Sold a watch last week, but bought another one last night and bid on a third. Just when I thought I was out …
That's totally fine. A bunch of compassionate lurking OF newbies can help you by purchasing any unwanted pieces from you. Here we can help each other 😀

Lightweights. In 2022 this spaccone has sold maybe 5 but bought at least a hunnerd. No lie. Something's gotta give. Anyone here want an Omega or twenty? Perhaps thirty Bulovas? A dozen Rolexes? At least fitty more various oddities from the tropics. No problem as long as someone will lend me a dollar two ninety for a cuppa joe 😁

I thought me buying 30 this year was over the top. You beat me, thank you.

Now where's my credit card .....

I feel sorry for you I have escaped as a bird from the snare of the Fowlers; the snare has broken and I have escaped. Bought five sold two but a couple were just things that caught my eye.

But soon my brethren, assuredly I say to you I am going deep in like Donnie Brasco. Just making some moves and some smooth talk and I’m in.

However someone told me on our death beds it won’t be watches or money we will be thinking of but perhaps some songs, paintings or literature we experienced. Made me think for a minute, I might just keep saving and buy a Monet.

I’ll be a Monet flipper I hear there is good money in that.

Second Connie that I’ve purchased in a week. Here’s the first:

And I was outbid on a 2652 this morning. 🙁

Yes but remember "quality over quantity". I bet your 30 were better than the majority of my hunnerd!

Ah. Love it. Too bad Ajax plays tonight. Otherwise I would have watched The Godfather for the 104th time.
104 th time, you're an amateur. Every Thanksgiving my house is invaded by the outlaws. My only refuge is locking myself in the bedroom and watching the Godfather Marathon. By the time the daughter gets shot after the opera, hopefully all I see of them is their taillights.
