Maybe it's just me but....

There seems to be a noticeable reduction in the number of vintage offerings in TRF classifieds ......

Anyone else notice this trend as well?

VRF seems to be pretty stocked from what I've noticed. Most of the TRF stuff is modern LNIB or BNIB watches. Jacek consistently has a nice selection of vintage. I guess I'm kinda happy with my vintage set at the moment and not having some NOS red Sub on the FS boards tempting me

VRF is the place to be for the vintage sales I've bought several there.

The vintage market is in the toilet right now, so people are hanging on to what they have.

Why is the vintage market in the toilet?

Dec/Jan is surely slower for companies hiring staff and the property market too because of the holiday season. Great time to pick discounted real estate. Also did notice that some sellers advertising in other vintage watch forums don't advertise the same watches here, maybe because we don't have a dedicated "Vintages for sale" section?
