I know all about that BS watch world LOL. I've got the couple watches I wanted and am out of that game, not that I could really afford to keep playing in it much. But you are correct that it's even more idiotic than things over here in Sneakerland.
But you happened to come back at exactly the wrong/worst time. Things were VASTLY different just 18 months ago prior to the pandemic. Sure, there were certain pairs that were difficult to get, but what's going down now is beyond anything we've seen previously. If these IEs dropped two or three years ago, it wouldn't even be a thing to get them.
all good - i am old enough now to pay a premium for sneakers i really like, and push off the others and move on without the sweat. Too many people bugging about sneakers and not living life. I also have a more defined idea of what i like now so a bit more focused than when i was young.
the hunt has changed, but even back then - the hunt (which was way more communal and celebrated vs flex culture) was always half the fun...it'll make the W's just that much better.
yeah - the watch game is bananas...the amount of bull**** you have to go through just to be considered. I love watches, and I still am in the market, but that game makes sneakers look like child's play. If anything I wouldn't be surprised if market makers in the sneaker world just taking notes from watch grey market practices
