I've checked with Ken but unfortunately he does not have the make/model/size I want. Who would be the second best dealer to get leather goods? I'm looking for Hermes Steve Messenger Bag in 35cm [brown or Black or any other dark color].

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I agree. There is a lot to learn. And the more I read/learn, the more I realize I need to read & learn even more. It's somewhat of a vicious cycle and quite addicting. I know I can certainly use some help from experienced users here because there are so many details, it is easy to make a mistake.

As I've been reading more about the concept, trusted dealers, movements, make/models, imperfections, transactions, etc. I've noticed that the price of certain watches [i.e. Cartier Santos 100 Ultimate] have risen drastically, from $308 to ~$380 and then $418 to $518 [all Puretime prices, which was the dealer I was going to purchase from and this is all from March-May till Nov-Dec]. I understand that certain factories dictate/drive the price but what I'd like to know is that whether the TDs raise their prices due to Thanksgiving/Christmas Holiday shopping season. If you, as a buyer, are in no rush to buy a certain watch, what would be the good time/season to buy? Is there such a thing as seasonal pricing? What is your experience?

Greetings! New member from the U.S. Hoping to build a nice collection. Came here due to my interest in Cartier watches. Learned about AP, Hublot, and others. Primarily interested in 1:1 or Ultimate versions, regardless of the make/model. Looking forward to interacting with you all. Best,
