Already had a Tag and a Seiko.
As for selling any- never
Is the flipping a guy/ male thing?
It might well be!

2) The number of posts of people flipping the watch in the same year they obtained it. I guess if part of a trade that makes sense, but it is more than I would have expected. Seems people buy them and then decide they don't like it.
I think this forum and its appalling enabling ethic, of which I am not remotely guilty , allied with the ease of dealing with our trf dealers, makes this flipping disease far more progressive than in the real world.

Last year, sold 3 and bought 3. Also did 1 trade last year (a Cuervo Y Sobrinos Esplendido Clasico for a Cartier Tank Solo XL Auto, which I also sold early this year after picking up a PAM 210).

I typically keep 4 to 5 Rolex/Tudors on hand, and I continually trade one to buy another. I don't really get too attached to any of them, except my Rootbeer.

The best part, I no longer have to give up cash to buy another watch, this model works well for me...
