But basically they sold all their watches to people with money who weren't collectors or for personal use. Not through their AD's. Storefronts were left BARE.
3) Left all AD's with ZERO watches for 2 years and now have a worthy customer protocol. I've purchased a few. I don't feel worthy.
4) Finally worked their way around to producing fake for sale models in 2022-23. So replica's of their own product. How does this not dilute the quality stream?
It's a tough bargain. I'd definitely shop the used/vintage market pre-pandemic. They used to stand for something.

What is this fake for sale line? I thought that was what Tudor was for?
Or is that just what is sitting in the display windows so the ADs don't look 100% bare?
