There is no end game! You'll want something after you get a Patek too haha.
Are you saying Patek dealers can get you good deals, or buying used from jewelers? What type of relationships do I need to save me money on watches? I'm looking to get an IWC Portuguese this year, that will be my end game. (but really, after the IWC I'll have three watches, and I have two double watch winders, so really instead of spending a few hundred bucks on a three-watch winder, I'd likely want to spend more to buy a 4th watch. It goes on and on....)
