If you haven’t yet looked at GP Neo-vintage, do take a peek … you might be missing out. Across other brands as well. Pieces from the 1990s to the early 2000s. GP in particular, has some pieces that may astound you … just gotta know what to search for. 🔍

I was asked once by another well-known collector to not share these “secret gems” so much. It would make it harder for him as there would be more competition. I said that a big part of collecting for me is the community. So it’s true what he said but I fe...
Sharing is a part of the fun of the hobby indeed 😊👍🏻
In the past this didn’t have much of an impact on prices but this has unfortunately changed somewhat 🤷🏻♂️
This is true

True dat. I do care about resale as well
and I think it is a valid point to consider. But it is just one point of consideration and just one of many other considerations. For some, it is the ONLY consideration. Watches do not make good investments but sure, by luck, one can certainly make some m...
