      I had assumed that in the era of smart watches, that a regular watch wouldn’t be popular. I don’t wear a watch at all but I am very surprised that there is this level of interest in watches. Kinda makes me happy that watches are doing well, I hope it’s a mechanical watch that has driven interest. I wish I knew why the interest level is so high though. Maybe it was on YouTube or something?

      Scalpers being parasitic wastes of consciousness, as usual.

      Swatches were all the rage…back in the 80’s.

      Usually it’s the scalpers and investment collectors looking to keep the future supply low for when they want to sell at a huge profit.
