$70.000 for this VFA sounds like a crazy price.

Agreed $70K is over the top. Would like to buy one but at a more reasonable level!

6186 8000

This is how you steal the ball from Swiss biased collections. Irresistible if you’ve waded through untold muck to get to this Japanese watch

Imo 618x is the main draw to outsiders. Of course we don’t want to share Daini VFA’s or AOC with any hoity toity mf unless we’re broke

Temperature on VFAs definitely rising, if Gerald selling 4580 isn’t enough of a sign (someone got a good Jan bonus maybe haha?)! Very happy to get the tip off on my 6185 in Dec - one thing that perhaps could be good to add is a list of all these funky Japanese stores so that we can follow them too (Alpha Omega who?) or maybe premium subscribers can get real time updates to VFA listings from these stores before the Friday newsletter (everyone checks Yahoo auctions but no one checks these I think). Interestingly Timeanagram listed and sold 3 VFAs but the Suwa applied 6185 was relisted and is the same price but looks better condition that the one in this newsletter.

Finally in my first foray into VR I bought a Meta Quest 3 this week and am loving it, as Zuckerberg said the Apple release just brought attention to the better (?) and significantly cheaper Meta Quest. My Meta shares are loving it, so basically a bonus physical dividend payment :)

A lot of VFAs coming out of the woodwork of late. Scott, you fixing your own timeline with that 6186? 😉

my actual ownership time with the VFA’s is kaput. Fell short on a couple of goals, but what a ride

The 6145/6 bracelet, I saw there are 2 holes near the buckle. Any idea is missing screw or supposed to be like that?

Good catch. Looks like a problem with the pin. I’ve never had one of these so am not sure exactly how the links are secured. Hopefully an easy fix though.
