What he said. Depends on the watch

How much would you guys offer a high end jeweler for a ~$5k watch that's been sitting a couple months (preowned)?
Every now and then you get a glimpse into the inner workings of a privately held company. It’s unfortunately not always inspiring.

I was in the same boat until I watched the video posted above. Really want to see them in person too.
Now those two GO watches he showed him are my kind of watches.

To me the GO vintage collection and the GS are similar appeal, just more refined / classy look on the GS while the GO Sixties is more edgy.

Brother, that's a beautiful watch, but you're going to have to get realistic. Just helping

I didn't figure you were here to screw anyone, and I was ignorant as well considering I'd never seen that watch before…. Hints why I went to C24 in the first place. Love the look of it though

That's funny, I was just educating my fiance last night on the existence of the word "Hence"! I guess she's not alone on the confusion.
This is a very important topic, and us watch connoisseurs must get it right.Quote:
Hence Past Tense Meaning
According to the search results, the verb "hence" does not have a typical past tense form like other verbs. Instead, it has been used as an adverb, adjective, or a phrase to indicate consequence, time, or direction.
In the past tense, "hence" can be used in various forms:It's essential to note that "hence" is not a typical verb and does not follow the conventional rules of verb conjugation. The forms listed above are creative interpretations and not widely accepted or used in standard English grammar.
- Past Simple (Indefinite): I henced, We henced, He/She/It henced, They henced (Note: These forms are not traditional past tense conjugations, but rather creative uses of the word "hence" to convey a sense of consequence or direction.)
- Past Perfect: I had henced, We had henced, He/She/It had henced, They had henced (Again, these forms are not traditional past perfect conjugations, but rather extensions of the word "hence" to indicate a completed action prior to another action in the past.)
- Past Continuous (Progressive): I was hencing, We were hencing, He/She/It was hencing, They were hencing (These forms are not traditional past continuous conjugations, but rather creative uses of the word "hence" to convey a sense of ongoing action in the past.)
- Past Perfect Continuous: I had been hencing, We had been hencing, He/She/It had been hencing, They had been hencing (These forms are not traditional past perfect continuous conjugations, but rather extensions of the word "hence" to indicate a completed action prior to another action in the past, with ongoing action in between.)

Okay, I've been lurking on this thread for so long and can finally join the discussion. A couple of years ago, I bought my first "nice" watch, a Nomos, and soon ready to buy a second. For this next watch, I've narrowed it down to a Tudor Pelagos 39 or an Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch. Very different, I know. I think I'll get more daily use out of the Pelagos, so leaning that way, but I've always wanted a Speedy so don't want to regret not getting it now. Question for the group or FTAC - the Speedy retails for ~$7k and the Pelagos is ~$4600; is it possible to get the Speedy for substantially less than $7k gently used or otherwise discounted or do they hold their value such that it makes more sense to buy new? If the prices were closer, it may make me change my mind and go Speedy. sorry for the rambling

If you haven't yet, it may be worth looking at a Speedmaster Racing 40mm as well. I have one, because I like the look of the Speedmaster but didn't like the way the Professional sat on my wrist. If you were interested there, you could probably snag one off of Chrono or eBay for $3,500 or so if FTAC couldn't find one. Most of the ones I've looked at came from Japan initially, although that may not be a problem for him since the Zenith I got from him has a Japanese warranty card.
ETA: The Pelagos 39 is also a good choice, and I should have one that FTAC tracked down within the next week.
