    Grand Seiko (especially this one) is definitely the kind of watch that keeps burglars away.

    You never really own a Patek. You simply buy it and never wear it and leave it in the safe, then flip it later for some cash for your mortgage and a second hand Grand seiko.

    That's a smart move! Got rid of Swiss made pure relic Patek shi*ter ..and replaced it with a Japanese Seiko with quartz crystal regulated movement in it... Sure got load of cash.., and Japanese high-tech... Grand Seiko of an entirely different millenium (and a load of cash) is no doubt better option than some by-gone-era Patek...

    Nice that you are giving the GS to your son Arch, once he researches it I'm sure he will love it. My advice to you is to follow other dealer advice and sell everything and pick up a nice Tudor or two. There is a new Boutique in Brisbane that may be worth a look.

    • @markr3926
      @markr3926 ปีที่แล้ว

      Worlds most stupid advice. Sell all stocks when its at its lowest!! Of course dealers would advice that they want activity during a tanked market.
      Hold on and wait. In years to come there will be a fresh set of souble glazing sales types (knobheads) drive the market to silliness again. Cash in then.

I've seen more of those on Coles CheckOut Operators, than any other watch! They can't ALL be Genuine, now can they? Keep The Speedmaster, the BEST watch in The World, the Polar Explorer, Th' J.L.C & the G.S. Just remember this, The G.S like the Patek, is A Very Finicky Watch. The G.S. is better suited as A Daily Ticker, but ALL G.S. require frequent servicing of 3 Years MINIMUM & there ain't no G.S. service centre in Oz. Service for G.S. is Japan ONLY, if You want to keep the Warranty Current & it ain't cheap. Easily North of 2K. Think about it, Pauli, O.K?

    You like to fill the void with material goods. That triggers a cycle that could probably keep you unhappy. If I was you, I would pay back debt, sell ALL luxury goods and other stuff clustering your daily life and keep only two time pieces: A JLC Reverso (the most elegant watch) and a beater (A Seiko, Casio or Rolex). Just a thought.
    With the money remaining, pay for your children’s education and traveling Asia. Just a thought.

    Big mistake to let go off he classic Patek Philippe 5196, IMHO. Nothing against the GS, but it's no replacement for the Patek. The robbery has left scars, my friend. Hope you'll find your watch mojo back.
    Agreed on the fact that a mortgage can be a b*tch. I was lucky enough to rehypothecate mine from variable to 1.1% fixed for the rest of the duration, before interest started to go balistic beginning of 2022. I saw it coming. I'm sticking to my pieces but not buying anything in current economic climate unless the market crashes (SOTC: YM40 116622, TTSub41 126613LB, SD43 126600, VC Patrimony 85180).
