The Watch Thread - Part 16

[yukirin92]

Most of the ppl they want to buy Rolex is because Rolex holding high resales value, how many ppl really like the design? I guess accept more than like.

Bought my only Rolex over alternatives from Zenith and Omega because I liked the design. Specs wise it loses out as well of course.

Resale to me is important but not the deciding factor. If going for watches with bad resale, I will either buy grey or used if I cannot get a good discount at AD.

Probably bad resales. But I don't mind at all. Love the watch

Sent from Samsung SM-G975F using GAGT

BB58

bezel looks alittle misaligned read a number had this prob and sent to RSC....but cum back sure gotch free additional scratches

 

[Kyo_kusanagi86]

speaking generally please rank the following brands in terms of
1) value for money
2) resale value

Rolex, Tudor, Frank Muller, Hublot, Omega

Rolex only....

I got play Tudor, buy, wear then sell... always easily lose $600 or more. Look at the carousell used/grey market. Flooded with options but no takers.

Also, Pawnshop dont take in Tudor,Tag Heuer, Omega wor... (even if they take in is at most 1-2k only)

many bought a few Tudor to try and build purchase history for a Rolex....buy a few and lose $ but they calculate still worth it than buying grey

That looks terrible. I used to have that model in rose gold for about 5 years, but fortunately did not observe the rust.

i honestly dont think JLC will suffer from this issue.
I also googled to see if anyone reported this issue but seems like its only this youtuber who has it...

i'm willing to gamble its a one-off but just seeking second opinions from the experts here

I think there's a group for sure la, but I don't think most of the people here who also buy many other brands and unpopular models fall into this group. Life is too short to sit there and calculate this resale value thing leh.

Want to aim for resale, aim property better. Killing on property will get you Richard Milles. Killing on Rolex gets you Seiko maybe lol.

Of course not us la, just most ppl nia... even my brother too, actually they not really want to investment, just like they want to spend money on the watch but they don’t want to loss money. So they heard many ppl tell them Rolex can hold better resale value and...
