As a newly divorced person some years ago, one of my few sources of amusement was tormenting some poor idiot marketing guy who was convinced I was running a drop-shipping company that made novelty his-n-her pillowcases, even though it seemed perfectly obvious that the pillowcase enterprise thing was entirely a stupid scam, like the spam e-mails you get purporting to be from a young designer in SE Asia who’s worked up a personalized T-shirt design just for you: Dear Krogerfoot, here is top design for whole Krogerfoot family also lovely Ms. Kroger, please to order here.

I think I’ll go back and send him another message—please sir, I need your techniques for 40% ROI, my pillowcases are backed up and a pile of them fell on my sister and I can’t find her, when can we make that appointment, I send you special Mr. and Mrs. Adrooll customized pillowcases, buy one get one free, please. Yours faithfully Krogerfoot, Kroger Pillowcase Holdings Hong Kong

How does one buy shares in a watch? I usually just buy the whole thing. This thread is like blood in the water 😁

I love it. But you'll have to compete with that My Pillow guy. 😁

Put a system in place that gives me the ability to send you a watch in exchange for its value in shares. Then allow me to trade those shares for shares of another watch I'm after. And finally, give me the ability to redeem the shares for the physical watch any time I want. Then I'm in.

Thanks I’ll stick with crypto.

at least when I lose money there the snickers are not as loud.

I don't know what is wrong with you all. I got $100 for this investment strategy. OP, please buy a Nautilus immediately, ship it to my address, once received I will send $100 after verification of authenticity. I will wear this watch extensively for 3 years then I will ship it back. After 3 years you can sell the watch. I am generous so you can keep the $100 after the sale to establish a good faith relationship because the next investment we have to be bolder!

Is it too late to change your profile from @MelisQ to MelisQAnon?
We have another candidate for the top ten posts of the year list. 😀

Investing in watches It is all illusion. Where are the buyers lining up to invest in a Bulova farm? I tried listing it on eBay and it cost me a dollar.

I guess this mean invest in grdBay, someone there must be raking in all the profits. Or better yet invest in the hotels and transportation networks that provided for the pleasure and comfort of those who are invested in tech stocks.

I wonder how long before META create virtual block chain watches for use in the meta verse on your very own NFT private island. I guarantee that the scratches on every watch I have is non-fungable and unique. Happy to back any of them with shares of your digital currencies that do not exist in my virtual wallet. Share transfers available on request. (just do not ever expect to see it again.)

On the other hand I have some onion seedling to plant. (Which means I have a good chance, I will have onions to eat.)

Seeds are great investments. Anyone want a share in some Carolina reapers? I had a bumper crop this year. Ghost peppers too.

Shares of a watch? Hmmm, somewhat like shares in a racing sailboat. You're sitting at the rail getting colder and wetter than you ever thought was possible while throwing large denomination banknotes into the sea. Hey if you get lucky maybe the wind will blow some of the money back your way.


Then the other shareholders want a new full suit of sails 😲

No, not interested.

I sincerely hope that the "investors" stick to their current lineup of brands. They are a bane on this hobby.

A watch enthusiast pal of mine in NYC who has much more money than I got excited over the recent stainless sport Rolex thing which started not so long ago and started buying like a fool...subs and GMT's. Paying close to 10k for sapphire sub dates. Now he is sweating and doesn't want to take a 2k bath on each.

Wait, I’m confused now- granted I know nothing about Rolexes, I thought all of those subs and GMTs had gone up and were all worth 13-15k? Eg the kermits, the Pepsies, the Batmans, the Hulk etc - or is it just specific references?

Absolutely. $10k would be below MSRP with tax.

I'm talking about second hand stainless not the newest and trendiest models. Nowadays in NYC the common reference 16610's are selling dealer to dealer for less than 8k.

I’d rather slam my balls in a drawer

I laughed so loud that my wife came over to see what I was doing 😁 Usually she never does.
