Same. I’m NEVER on a list for more than one specific piece (currently have nothing requested...).A follow up point: something I see often, particularly on, say, TRF, are posters who say "I have requested 10 watches (Submariner, GMT in any variation, Daytona in any variation, Explorer, Explorer II, OP, etc.) and I will buy any that I am offered." Or even, "I was offered 'x', and I had to say yes!"
Given the current, and extreme, power imbalance, I feel there is a tendency to buy what is offered without consideration of what it is, how it fits into your collection, etc. (obviously, @officine is clearly doing the opposite of that). This tendency has put a bad taste in my mouth. I buy my watches for keeps, and very seldomly sell anything - let alone watches.
So, particularly now-a-days, I have decided to buy one watch at a time, and to do so in a sequential manner. I do not have a bunch of feelers out there, hoping that one of them hits.
