You didnโt need to explain yourself! ๐
Congratulations on lining up an iconic trio of watches for your boys.
For me, I have no hard stance on paying over retail or going AD only. It all depends on how bad oneโs desire is, and if one thinks the premium to fair.
I have bought a hell of a lot of sneakers and other stuff at a premium in the grey / resale markets in my time. Just not watches, yet.
