I have started the last quarter of 2025 with a special Goofy carton watch by Helbros where the watch works in opposite anti clockwise direction. For the last quarter of 2025, I am hoping to keep the quantities of watches to the minimal. I have till date collected 43 watches and sold 50 watches with a net less 7 watches, which is not bad.
I was offered a nice Rolex stainless steel hooded Bubbleback but the price of HK$400,000 is beyond my budget and I have decided to let it go. Sometimes, watch collecting is about choices too. The last quarter saw an increase in number of watches with historical significant and relatively inexpensive watches.
