    Hello Robert-Jan, a very nice story. Inspirational. I like that you have shown a way for the novice and underfunded to get their goals met. I have been flipping watches for a couple of years now. I have been fortunate to purchase watches I previously thought were out of reach.
    Most recently 105.012-66CB (no bezel also) purchased largely with proceeds and profits from other watches.

    I think there are still good deals to be had out in the world, despite what I always thnk to myself...surely everyone checks internet before selling something way under price. But just look at eBay at poorly described auctions going through saved search nets.

    That story reminds me of "Trading Up".

    Same idea, except with cars and done by a professional.

    A little easier that way.
