  1. Thanks for your ongoing insight into the legal aspects...it is very much appreciated for a non-lawyer.
  2. Not quite to the level of the UG, but I really love Enicar. It's definitely on my list to get someday. Other priorities first though.
  3. I only know of it because Im a big fan of Enicar watches in general and really want the Jim Clark Sherpa Graph. So I've come across a lot of racing chronographs associated with famous drivers (and their wives).
  4. For anyone interested in high end brands, I suggest the Keeping Time podcast. Jeremy Oster has a lot of contacts in the industry that he interviews. Really great stuff.
  5. This is a man who is serious about watches and doesn't fuck around. Beauty. If I come across anything I'll let you know.
  6. For the movement nerds. The Czapek.
  7. Czapek is also exploding right now. Gorgeous watches, still a steel sports watch with integrated bracelet, but a bit more unique than many of the Nautilus/RO knockoffs.
  8. Moser certainly has a polarizing look. Can't argue with the dials and movements though. Case designs can be a little out there, especially the Streamliner. But I really like that organic/flowing look. Different and obviously there's a fair amount of demand. Exactly my thought on the GP. Taken in a vacuum, its a gorgeous watch and really well finished. But we aren't in a vacuum. For something a little different at that level though, Parmigiani Fleurier has serious watch making chops and the new Tonda GT is a huge hit. Pricey, but again, luxury brands are moving up quickly as there isn't enough Rolex/AP/PP for the amount of money being dumped into luxury watches.
  9. I'm hoping the AMYZF new plant news hits big when its announced. Sounds like the demo facility is to be up and running in February and they are already looking at how to expand that to a commercial facility if the proof of concept works at scale.
  10. I should add that the waitlist to get the green centre seconds is 2024 currently. Demand is going to continue to grow.
  11. Moser Streamliner Centre Seconds I think retail is about 21k. The Flyback Chrono is about 44k retail.
  12. GP is blowing up right now. When I bought my 70s I tried on the Laureato and it was extremely nice. I know it stands on its on merits and I really liked the watch. But I just couldn't get past the fact it was the Avis of Genta-inspired watches. I was looking for something more unique. Moser is about to blow up... guessing this summer. It will become the IG summer brand. Lots of money moving into alternative brands in this crazy luxury market. Moser has brand recognition and cachet, and it's sold in high end ADs next to all the other high end brands. They are hugely eye catching whether you like them or not so it's relatively widely known and recognized even though it hasn't gotten main steam popularity yet. Some of their high end limited edition pieces have already gotten hot and exploded on price as availability is extremely limited. Look at the price of the Streamliner Centre Seconds... Selling 50% above retail. Other models will follow as they make an insanely low number of watches. Watchbox, with the huge influx of MJ and NBA money and built in tie-in with celebrities, is about to dictate demand for luxury watches that aren't just Rolex/PP/AP. Czapek work the Antarctique and PF with the Tonda are beginning to follow suit. Both of these are amazing watches. Even Glashutte Original is slowly becoming more difficult to get for some watches and secondary market prices are slowly rising. Work only 4,000 watches made pretty year, it dies by take much demand. Now is a pretty unique time to get into non - Rolex/PP/AP and not lose your shirt. With smart purchases they will likely go up in value. Look for IG friendly high horology independent brands (yes I know GO is officially in the Swatch Group but they leave them alone) with very low production. Definitely not a bad time to build a relationship with your AD. With some of these brands it's much easier start getting access to some more high demand limited releases.
  13. Choice watch man, congratulations!
  14. Thanks, looks like prices are down currently so that's good. Any good website/books/reading materials to learn about crypto?
  15. Crypto newbie. Where do I need to start (other than 5 years ago)?
  16. For anyone interested in indispendent watch makers, this is a great discussion.
  17. Losses wouldn't have helped me last year, so didn't dump then. ALPP I've already rolled a majority of the profits into other investments but still holding a few thousand shares that I should have dumped in the last run up but held out in case it went crazy with the uplist. I'll probably hold to see if they pick up over the course of the year as (hopefully) Covid and supply chain issues work themselves out. Holding TURV because my shares are barely worth the fee to sell them. Good info on ALPP - seems like it will bounce at some point once the supply chain issues get worked out. I've made so much on it, I don't mind holding onto the last vestiges until it bounces and it seems like it should at some point. HMBL - it would be really nice to see them get their shit together. Did see this announcement, which appears to be a step in the right direction. HUMBL Launches ACH Integration That's really good news on TURV. Not even worth the cost to sell it right now, but hopefully the new BoD will get things moving in the right direction. Thanks for the info guys!
  18. Gorgeous watch and IWC is a great brand.
  19. Anyone have updates on TURV, EGOC, HMBL, HOMU or ALPP? Any recent news or anticipated news that will impact these materially? Looking to liquidate some of these and roll into better options going forward.
