Will u choose a VC overseas chrono or a Rolex Daytona?

Views and recommendation welcome . Budget is 15-20k hard to go above . Need around half year to store power for this haha

Dun really like AP ROO.

Daytona. Cos it holds its value well, unlike VC.

Thanks bro. Was aiming a SS Daytona but recently found out that the similar budget can potentially get a top 3 Swiss brand - VC (although not In house movement)

So was shaken. Haha but surprising the Resales seems bad for them. Daytona seems more resistant

They do make inhouse movements as for not inhouse below thread state they do some heavy modifications

In general your AP, PP, VC all has weak resale value vs Daytona. Just not that many looking for their watch.

Want to profit get one of these if u can get him to make one

Thanks for all the inputs. Not really to look for profit. Just in case in case one day need cash, at least can liquidate.

Daytona SS seems to have the best demand? Sometime the TT prices are so close that I tempted to choose them over the SS black face. The TT panda is nice too!

Hahaha. Thanks leh. But my requirements are rather stringent one. If you help me get 1 I would be eternally grateful to you leh.

She needs to be of the perfect size for me, 38mm would be the sweet spot. It would be nice if she is from Germany. I like her dressed in Cordovan leather. Recently got to know one but I have a feeling she's out of my league. Her name is Nomos by the way

I would say have a look at the vc anyway, no harm and can admire the watches at the vc boutiques.

U must really like the VC to justify paying the the price for a new piece. The depreciation is no joke.

Try to find a pre own one if possible. Quite value for $ imho...

well a entry level VC Patrimony is listed for US$18K (b4 discount) and on resale market is US$12k.is that really bad? of course when U compare to Daytona its really bad. since Daytona lost is like $1-2K.

VC calibre 1400 is in house.

 

[radiancez567]

P.S student here no money to buy exp watches

Nice SNKM87K1? Same as Henabi's

He is comparing a daytona to a overseas chrono.

An in-house movement is just an excuse to increase prices and to make consumers perceive that it is "better". But is it?

There is no right or wrong. To each his own. I am just giving my 2 cents.

@AyuReady u can consider the royal oak chronograph (not the offshore) also...
