2013 - 2017 : The Flip List

So Christmas is just around the corner now and here I am, sitting in the lobby of a hotel, waiting for a buyer to make what would probably be the final watch sale to wrap it up for the year 2017. Going forward into 2018, I would probably be looking at flipping the Speedmaster Panda, Planet Ocean Chrono, and Genesis; and adding a Datejust/Day-Date, and Sky-Dweller. Or if I chanced upon a 5711/1A at retail price, then all bets are off.

This was the list of the watches that had been flipped since the start of this blog in 2013. Most were bought new, while some were bought pre-owned. And if you were starting on the pre-owned route, one golden tip to strictly adhere to, was to always buy the seller and not just the watch. I sometimes buy watches just for catch-and-release, so that I could view, hold and write about them; then they move on to real owners whom would give them wrist times.
