The Speedmaster went to the goddamn moon.
Like this should be the thing that people go crazy for.
And this should be the product that can compete with Rolex.
And they started doing these special editions, these limited editions, one of which was to celebrate 15 years of Podenki.
They did them with some other folks here and there.
They did one with the Porsche Club of America.
They did some special things with Snoopy, which has a tie with NASA.
And then they stop.
They stop.
So no more limited editions, really.
They do different editions, but not limited.
And now all of a sudden, the Speedmaster trades above retail.
The Speedmaster is what everybody wants.
And we're an authorized dealer for Omega, and we can't keep them in stock.
And so you look at the Omega Speedmaster, which 10 years ago was really kind of a secondary product.
And now it's a primary product for the second biggest brand in the world who sponsors the Olympics and James Bond and all these iconic things.
And they're really paying attention to the enthusiasts, which Kodinky represents, which is who I represent, and the mass market folks, which is like just the guy that wants a nice thing.
I think Rolex has frustrated a lot of people, and this is no news to them.
I mean, I know they know, because you can no longer go in and buy the watch you want at all.
And historically, the Daytona was always kind of difficult to get.
