Putting Daren to shame

Some of you guys may remember a guy from the 'last' place Alex, who's user name was something like VRNTACA... a fellow Canuck and all around bonne vivante.

Anyways, he has a history of flipping watches pretty regularly. Since I met him about three years ago I'd guess he's been through more than 40 watches.

Follow this link and read about an all time WIS flipping record.

He's a great guy and a real wheeler-dealer when it comes to watches and audio equipment. Actually, he's a sales guy and excellent at his job.

Alex is one guy who knows his stuff about watches and truly appreciates all brands. I think he's had at least one from every major luxury brand out there.

Craig, keep practising with BOTH Thumbs. That would give you 4 out of ten digits at work. 40% isn't all that bad.

Fourty percent is standard public servant output. Anything more and you could send people to the Occupational Health and Safety relaxation room. LOL

Are you going to keep it a secret? What did you swap out this time - wait, it must have been a PAM. Isn't that all you have now?
