    I'm glad that you showed up in my feed once again good haul you got some nice watches. I hope rude comments to get to you about your haul remember its easier to make 400 bucks off of 40 affordable watches over making 400 bucks off a 10k watch that gave you a headache to sale. Never let rude watch snobs get to you.

      @@vintagesterlingfinds yup.sounds about right high end watches are a headache to sale because of how small the margin for profit is on the gray market second hand market is,most high end watches sold in the gray market only make 5 percent 10 percent if you are lucky.

    I've been watching and liking your video's. I like your passion for watches, it makes watching, (no pun intended) very enjoyable. On the watches that are over wound, you can release them if you're careful. If you want to know how, (just in case you don't know how, I can explain how to do it. Someone with your expertise please don't be offended if you do know how to do it. Great videos thank you.
