Hi Paul,

I really enjoyed reading your article and there is no arguing with any of your criteria. And certainly your disclaimer is so correct... there are no ironclad guarantees when when attempting to predict this kind of performance in the marketplace. I think everything you said here could easily apply to any area of collecting even if you only have a collection one. Having said all that, l recently became very interested in “tuning fork” watches and as result purchased an Omega Speedsonic “lobster.” The watch is in very nice but not perfect condition and functions perfectly. Do you have an opinion on how this piece may do over the long term?

If you think it will do well, then, hooray! But no matter, l love it, no one else l know has one, and l am likely to leave it in my estate one day.

Thanks for the excellent articles and please keep up the good work.

Very best regards,
Mauro
