Dealers are just like ?

I sent a dealer I just bought a watch from a text about trying to acquire some 16710 inserts. Said he couldn't get those but just bought a hulk and wanted to know if I was interested....8175 was his offer to me, G serial.

I border line have too many watches to wear and enjoy now, the rational person in me tells me to pass.

Seems about market price right now. For a couple hundred I would prefer an example under warranty.

I have a couple of dealers on my WeChat feed posting up great watches several times a day. Suffice it to say that this is not making it easy to stick to the watch buying diet I've put myself on for the rest of the year!

There is no need to talk about taking drugs on forum even if they were in jest, drug taking is not a funny subject matter .

That's why it's so important to wear a watch you really like, every day! If you are wearing a "favorite", you won't feel temptation just because there's a decent example or a good deal on a watch you were not previously considering. You look down at your wrist and experience satisfaction, and that puts everything into perspective.
