Acquiring Discontinued Watches
Posted: Sat Jul 10, 2021 12:27 pm
I have now realised you can't wait to long if you want to acquire a particular watch, especially when it's discontinued.
I have looked a few times at the C7 Rapide Chronograph automatic at very competitive prices, but I am not exactly short of chronographs and passed. Now I am interested again, I realise that because this was discontinued more than a few months ago, purchasing opportunities are becoming much less frequent.
Ditto with the C65 trident vintage hand wound, with digits at 12 and 6. I have the blue, and thought the black was an interesting option. I actually passed one on eBay in the last few days, and realised it would have been a good buy too late. Again, these are becoming less common, and obviously slightly older.
In the meantime I made a purchase in the sale, and maybe I don't need the above two. There are just so many desirable watches aren't there, and you can't have them all. That's the real problem. I also fancy the Phylida Aqua Terra homage in green, but that's another £100 I don't have to spend.
