The Watch Thread - Part 5

[Nakedtoes]

beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Not much abt beauty. For me I feel not worth to spend 5k above for eta movements watches.

 

[billovee]

I dun think so man.

100% no.

. Market is mostly gold plated.

even solid gold may not follow also.

Retail prices for Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and others, increases every year.

As a result, , the demand for pre-owned watches also increases as the

pricing of new models increases.

Higher demand means higher prices

Therefore, a pre-owned watch’s ability to appreciate is understandable.

This is a classic. Tried with leather strap before. It seemed weird.

Seeing this rolex just brings a smile to my face again. Me on the other hand thinks leather strapping it transforms it to a younger looking watch. Still as classy. Chose a lizard strap for this.

As some of you guys have already know, this is the 1988 birth year Rolex I intend to give to my fiance this coming October as a wedding gift.

Wah lao! Haha on SUB then! Haha

Since we are at the subject of Submariner... Lume shots in the car while waiting for my boys.

I have an eta IWC Pilot Chronograph. But I still love it.

That's why I dun quite like their watches and I heard horrific complaints from friends owning IWC watch.

Basically most watches suffer a depreciation of AT LEAST 20% the minute you make payment.

I do not intend to sell them at all
each of them have a sentimental value attached.

SEXPENSIVE for who!?!?!

i'm not so sure too. while prices increase, modifications are also added time and again. Things like chapter ring, pinholes etc also affect the preowned prices.

Fingers crossed... Mine is running well... Just that it has lotsa scratches and dings. I don't take special care when wearing them!!!
