I've flipped some but never bought with that intention. Like a lot of us sometimes you fall out of love and know when it's over. I don't want to own a piece if I don't enjoy wearing it anymore.

Many of you must support Socialism.

I don't understand the hate and disdain shown towards a person that's trying to earn a buck.

A flipper to me is someone who buys something with the sole purpose of reselling for a profit as soon as possible. They may wear the watch to show off around people. Perhaps take a few shots for IG, Facebook, etc. and even make a video for Youtube but have no intention of keeping the watch.

There are thousands and thousands of these people right now. A new, just two week old DaytonaC popped up on my local Craigslist. Guy says he bought a gold ceramic Daytona and the AD sold him the SS just a week later. This is a big part of the reason why most of us who want one have not been able to get one and won't be able to for the foreseeable future.

In fact I would say that to get one from the AD in a timely manner you might have to become a flipper yourself.

I’m definitely number 2, with a lot of hobbies. If I had unlimited funds I’d probably do less selling though.
