And political talk in any depth is not allowed here and certainly casting any aspersion on anyone for how they may vote is way out of line, so don't go there again.
Fair enough, and I apologise for the final paragraph. Blood, as I’m sure you know, runs hot at the minute as the political landscape consistently plumbs new depths.

I have been on this forum a long time and never talked politics but we are in unprecedented times so it does leak out occasionally, but we have to do our best to keep this forum a-political and friendly.

Tory supporters brought up politics, you disagreed with their position and the response was don't talk politics Pretty damn hypocritical.

BTW, there have been a number of studies on the four-day work week. Such a work-week is actually beneficial to a company, not to mention employees. Of course, the same people decrying it as the end of times would have been against the abolition of the six day work-week and child labor.

More like it’s a sign that WF is over pricing their watches. Going rate for a 126710BLNR in scandinavia is almost 2000gbp cheaper than WF’s cheapest, after they discounted it.

LOL, I never really had a look at WF prices before just now. Their cheapest 5711 is a 2012 watch for £62,750.

Where I am based there is a 2015 piece, with 2019 Patek service, for sale at £50,450.

WF is a rip off. How anyone could base their numbers via them. Same story goes for Watchbox.

Except they are two of the biggest grays who can deal with any short-term declines without the need to drop prices. If they are dropping prices it is a clear signal that the market is in decline.

Anyway, last week WatchBox had a blue dial 5711 for $75,000. Today the blue 5711 is under $70k (not sure whether it is the same watch).

I sell to WF as they pay the best prices and relatively pain free

No he didn't just disagree, he went on a rant and then got personal, which is not acceptable and he understood that, and I hope for your sake you do too. Now if we have to talk politics, altho we better cut it dead now, do not make it personal or call each other names.

Why do you always resort to threatening people?

Name calling is not allowed, as much as you'd love to see it, so warning someone to tone it down before they get banned is the fair thing to do, stop stirring as always.
