    And, in other news, I have achieved the trade. Ended up expanding the deal to three watches and cash for two watches. Expect a piece soon on one of the two new watches. My collection is down to four watches now. I keep trading up. Last year I did a two for one trade to get my first Rolex. Later last year I did a two for one to get a really nice Omega, which I just included in the three for two deal for the two new watches.

    I have discovered over the last few years as I get more into this horology bit, that as much as I love all makers of fine watches, there are only two brands that retain value if you go to trade them or need to sell them. So, I am working my entire collection toward Rolex (and that NOMOS because I simply love it and will likely never sell it). I can't afford Patek. And Rolex are expensive, because you can't get them cheaper used, so I can't have as many. More on this later perhaps. The economics of watches that is.

    Pics?

    I just shipped my trade watches off today. Should get my new watches next week. I'll provide a picture. Might tape it to your door if you promise not to call the cops.

    So are you coming to a game up his this fall or what? We need to go to Ben Bridge in U Village to ogle Rolex’s and Laurelhurst MILFS.

    Rolex + MILFs+ The Zone sounds like just about the best day I could imagine. Can we be drunk and go for perfection?

    That’s fine...as long the photo is of the watch.

    Watch horse trading sounds scary to me. My daddy had to sell a Cartier in the early 90s to some @PurpleBaze type dude who just beat him up on price.

    Well, the watch will be in the picture. I can't speak to what else might show up.

    Yeah, it's kind of a bizarre world in the second hand market.

    Old, lame, and weird is no way to go through life. I’m kidding, but watches are pointless. You might as well splurge for a diamond bracelet.
