do you think it is possible......?

watch brands being bought over by bigger companies? with hublot being one of the latest being bought over, i just have this wild dream.

do you think any of the local authorized dealers or watch brands will be interested to buy over watch forums?

will there be any implications? the garage section is always the tricky part.

will it benefit the local watch communities?

To buy over a watch forum? I do not think so and at this current economic climate, there is really no need to. But I will not doubt that there may be some 'tampering'.

i don't believe watch brands nor distributors will be interested in buying over the forum, however, publications looking to increase online presence may consider either starting a site or buying a pre established forum. as was the case recently when one of the apple forums down under was sold to a magazine publisher.
