    Yeah, that reminds me of my little fetish for GuB watches that lasted a couple years, and I paid a chunk for some of them. I was able to sell all but one of them, for near what I paid, but it took a while. I had some really peachy examples, but maybe too dressy for people these days. It's when we realize how few people are niche collectors like that. Once you get into the more populous realms of vintage Subbie or Speedy collectors, things heat up a bit but then the cost of entry goes way up too. I prefer to muck about in the cheap seats. I also had a fetish for 2209s, only one left of those now as well. These two....
