    IMHO this could very well be the high water mark of the vintage watch bubble. In most segments sales are sluggish. Even look at what many would say is the torchbearer of this bubble Hodinkee. More, look at the comment sections today and compare them to even a year ago. Way down in numbers.

    I'd not be surprised to find that Rolex themselves bought it.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I don’t like the site, but I wonder how much of that is down to the redesign. It’s awful, especially on mobile where it has all the appeal of a Taboola ad.

    I agree, great way to keep prices up.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
