It's always interesting to read other collectors' viewpoints on their collecting philosphies.
Watches from Independents aren't really that "rare" when attending PuristS gatherings but are "rare" when comparing to the general public. And so, for me personally, the attractiveness of this rarity isn't what it used to be IMO since I see them all the time at PuristS gtg's.
To me, seeing a Cartier complication, Montblanc, or Dubuis watch is more "rare" at PuristS gtg's than Independents sightings.
Anyone else feel the same way?
Cheers,
Anthony
