Thoughts on Automatic Dovetailers?

 

David,

That is $296,000 more than I paid.

Dave,

List for a 650-A is $24k and a 750-CNc is $39k

It is important to understand how effectively you use your time, Mr. Best, so I completely understand your need for a good watch.

I always assumed that David would be an Apple Ultra 2 watch kind of guy.

PK, consider yourself lucky if you haven’t been infected with the disease of high horology collecting. ?I had an Ultra 2 for a while but found myself constantly looking at it to see if I still had a pulse. ?When you get to my age, you’ll understand. ?LOL

David,

People I know like to bitch about my shop and what I buy but then the next conversation is about the watch they just bought but never wear, or the Porsche 911, for Sundays only, because if you put miles on it the resale goes down in the US or the Vette ZR1 the are considering for $140k.
?
This is my vice, and someday when my day job goes away, this will be my fun job for Clients I want to work for, even if that is just my family!
?
And my boys know just enough to sell it off properly when I am gone.

Paul,

I hope you take my comments in jest - not bitching at all. ?As I said before, I admire your ability to find quality used equipment and your success in buying/selling machines. ?I hate all the packing/transportation hassles, but more power to you. ?I do wonder about your shop space for all the single-purpose machines, but do what you do and enjoy it. ?I too have been down the path of 911 for Sunday, and collect watches I never wear, so we each have our foibles. ?I admire what you’re doing. ?No question.

So serious question - can I send you an.order for some drawer boxes?

Dude. I’m jealous. I wish I could find such a great bargain on a reliable dovetailer.?

The northeast is a barren wasteland when it comes to used equipment.?

I feel pretty frugal about buying cheap watches ( as car #7 comes tomorrow ).? Guys don't shop often, but when we do it's impressive.
