- "Going grey" could easily save 20% and avoided AD pressure
- The used market was at this -20% grey level or less

We bought what we wanted and nothing more. It was pretty easy to get rid of things and buy something else but there wasn't 1:1 value retention with purchase price nor any such expectation. Overseas travel was fun, all foreign ADs also stocked up and you'd save 25% on a brand new watch from the airport. Bliss!!
Waiting for the old days to come back around...
