The price of luxury watches are very unlikely to drop. There is never or always the right time to buy. Just do so when you have the means.

Here's my inexpensive watch...

Haha. It's a solid watch. Lol trust me. Tudor bb is a diving watch. Not very similar.
Wanna compare also against the black shield or Daytona.

There's never a right/wrong time to buy a watch. Watches such as Rolex only see a rise, never a drop. Not in sg at least.

Whether to buy a Rolex or any other watch that is expensive (your value of perception of expensive) anot. Depends on your phase in life, your financial status and what not.

If you have the cash (like extra that is sitting around) or you have save it for a long time, ready to drop the money, on top of that you really like it. I will say go for it.

For me. I would say that's how I would decide whether to buy anot.

Sg for Rolex. Go grey. AD must know ppl inside. If not you walk in at most 8%.

Submariner is a classic icon of rolex. The batman is more of a novelty. My personal opinion is buy whatever sings out to you on your wrist.

Value wise, submariner holds value slightly better than the gmt. Luxury watches prices are increased every year. Buy whatever u want and don wait for a good time. There is never a good time.

Rolex U can try hourglass but I have stopped buying rolex a few years ago so nobody to intro.

The "value" is ambiguous. Basically, the actual value of a rolex is actually zero right after you buy it.
The "value" of that rolex watch when you sell it, is totally dependant on whether the next buyer is willing to agree to your quoted price.

So If you're thinking to buy a watch on "holding value".... Then it's much better to buy gold and definitely will appreciate with time.

That's why I advise buy gold. No need to headache about "condition", warranty, "full set or watch only", "service history"...

Just liquidate it and get cash instantly.
