White gloves = financial success.

I caught this on Gumtree this morning.
it appears that if you display your ladies Seiko with white gloves on and you can expect approximately 10 times more than A reasonable asking price.
I've seen this selling technique replicated on eBay also.
Looks like we all need to go and buy us some white gloves....

Here in AU for some reason people see these things as Swiss grade. No idea why but possibly because the retail shops sell them at Swiss prices.

An SKX diver is like $700 or something. A base model 5 is about $380. For those prices you could get a Tissot.

A TAG Heuer is like 3.5k.

Retail on a Speedmaster is like 7k or something, they are just ludicrous.

You know you're going to get shafted pretty bad when stores advertise "Our Collections" and "The Joy of The Experience" and crap like that. It's stuff aimed at getting you to buy with your heart rather than your head.

saw that too. I thought it must be some sort of ladies GS until I looked closer.

And realized you could probably get it on an end of year sale at generic jeweler for $79

in some cases I think that the sellers really should be wearing latex gloves, and have lube displayed in the photo background ....
