Walked into a high end jewelry store in the South Bay of Los Angeles today because they had a display case that was LOADED. Had to ask if they were real. I’m talking a Pepsi, Batman, three Sky-Dwellers, a YG President, and a YG green dial Daytona just to name the heavy hitters. Turns out they’re all real and the SA openly admitted to buying from an AD in order to flip at grey market prices…. Really just needed to vent about this experience. But, in all honesty, how is this allowed?

And this, my friends, is why I just bought a Czapek. For me, Rolex, Patek, AP, FPJ, and a couple others all just get put into a little box in my brain and put on a shelf somewhere. Not even worth thinking about, and rarely worth talking about.

Not surprised at all… thanks for confirming OP

I tried on a used Batgirl just to facilitate conversation but I was displeased.

I always want to ask these resellers how they have tons of stock… usually very rare pieces as well

As a sometimes-poster of my watches let me introduce you to a new brand and acquisition called "AERONOM" from Germany.

Saw it as a recommendation and was intrigued and have it now.

Here some details:
- Automatic Movement
- Caliber 8217 with 42 hrs Power reserve
- 41,5 mm dial in a 46 mm case of stainless steel
- date window at 3 o'clock
- black diamond at 12 o'clock
- 24 hrs indicator at 9 o'clock

It's one of 200 produced and even though it's heavy and a 46 mm case is big but nice to wear
