I did a bit of a tot up last night, well into five figures, scary 樂
I don’t want to go there
I'm pretty sure I'm at the lower end of the scale but yes well into 5 figures, but also sold some on due to fickleness/need to finance another watch/just not really liking it after all
I did a jot up and I'm well into 6 figures, and not beginning with a 1 either
I think, around £11,000 in total.....................
(is it tax-deductable?)

Exactly what I think. Just tell yourself it was money well spent.
At least £250, maybe even £300.
God no!

Can I offset with what I’ve sold? Are we looking for a net figure 🤣
There’s an additional perspective which is ‘things that TZ-UK have encouraged you to buy’.
I know I’ve succumbed to that plenty of times over the years.
No but they aren't subject to capital gains tax if you sell them :-)
All of it…
Yes.
Lots.

The balance between sold and bought might be an interesting sum.....

Hell no!
The watches are bad enough, but ye God's - the knives, rucksacks, wax jackets, torches, pens, hats.

After reading the title of this thread, I started to worry... But some searching in the books reveals that I've spent a lot and sold a lot - making the balance (slightly) positive for me. 10 yrs ago, I noticed that UK members do not visit German sites and vice versa. And since we're in the middle... We have a few German members here and I think that they can relate to this. Slowly but surely, this difference disappeared.
Brexit threw a spanner in the works. Nowadays, it's absolutely useless to search the SC for an item. Before the package has reached my address, I need to pay shipment, import duty and 21% VAT over everything. In some cases, making SC watches more expensive than the ones I can buy here in the store...
It works the other way around as well. I wanted to sell my 4-liner Rolex 14060. The potential buyer on TZ-UK would have to take the UK's side of customs into account as well. So I didn't even post an FS ad for it. Trying to sell it here would make an expensive watch even more expensive.
In the end I sold it inside the Netherlands.
No, and you can't f**king make me.
Rucksack, shoes, coats, jeans, pens, knives, torches, phones, tech stuff etc none of which I knew I needed until visiting TZ 🤔
Aye the place should come with a government wealth warning.

I’m not contemplating doing anything of the sort!
I’m sure I’ve spent more than £20k on non-watch related items over the years - but thankfully that does include a car lol
It's just a matter of time...
I daren't. The last three purchases alone come to just shy of £9k.
I have a problem.
Not interesting... frightening, depressing, yes... unfortunately!

My bought at vs sold at is the maths I don’t fancy looking at. Either new or from SC.
I haven't, but if I were to tot it up against prices for the same items on Chrono24 I would feel a lot better.
What would make it worse would be to tot up all the stuff I've sold vs the Chrono24 prices!
