Tried selling my Rollies on Carousell but it was a blood vomiting experience with all sorts of lowballers and ridiculous propositions.

Dun sell at Carousell.
Go SGROC. It's a watch forum. At least pple there knows the average selling price.

Paying 10k+ for a mass-produced watch makes sense?

Ain't all Rolex mass-produced? :D
Depends on how you look at it. I have Rolex too, but the only reason I bought Rolex watches is because it holds it's value better compare to other brands. I do have Seiko and Stowa too. But it's something with sentimental value which I can pass on to my kids.

My rich friend on the other hand, don't like watches. He prefer to pass his bank account directly to his kids. :D

Quite funny, Tudor compare to IWC?

Have planning to get next week, but I think I need to consider again. should I top-up for the 42mm explorer 2? Or sub no date?

looking for the 3777 is becoz of the price and she like the design, pilot watch unisex design so she can wear also.
Price, 5xxx for a brand new IWC chronograph where to get?
Movement, yes! It's ETA7750, if ETA7750 selling 5k+ consider over price then how about Hublot?
Brand, please dun tell me Tudor can compare to IWC, if buy Tudor I rather buy omega PO.
每个爱表者都有不同的方向。因此有些人爱“挑多”,有些人拥护“爱达标痴”。

撇开品牌不说。

先谈芯,
两家都是采用高量生产的775x机芯。从不同论坛讨论中,据我了解。。。
“挑多”买下价格稍贵的7753顶级机芯,在自家厂房加以修饰,小部分修改。
“爱达标痴”的机芯却是由ETA代工,依照IWC的规格,于ETA高量生产的7750作为基底,再做生产。
两种机芯都能轻易找有经验的师傅整修,保养。但是,一旦某个被表厂修改的部件出现问题,需要对换的话,找回原厂部件就需费心了。两个品牌相比之下,较为注重往后转手可得多少价值的人,近万元的“爱达标痴”可就卡在不能找便宜的途径修理,只能死死的栽在IWC的手中。找别的师傅修,就没了IWC的整修收据,附加两年(?)保修期的加持。
“挑多”的拥有者,保修期一过。。。就没了。当然,拥有者可以选择上门到“挑多”维修部门找修表师整修,或者也会得到如“保修延长符”的维修收据加持。只是以一只少过6000元的表来计算,过千的维修费。。。值得吗?有那收据加持,转手价值又会提升多少?
这。。。就要看各人如何选择了。

再谈价,
相比之下,“挑多”是“爱达标痴”的。。。近一半。比较“平以近人”。加上有“老乐死”作为品牌后盾,在本地市场也已经有将近两代的历史,推到二手市场,不怕没人要,只是时间的长短,还有卖家的叫价而已。
“爱达标痴”的命运就不同。在我们阿公那年代,有谁知道IWC呀?还有,推到二手市场,叫价太低难免会叫人对于那二手表有质疑,叫价太高咧。。。新表的7成半。。。也许能买到两只其他“挑多”?那么那只该转手的表,应该呆在陈列柜多久呀?

我们不能阻止任何人喜爱一个品牌,也不能阻止任何人排斥哪个品牌。
只是,市面上的品牌林林总总,每个品牌的广告力度也打得不一样。。。这也就更容易模糊了消费者的注意力,往往不理解一只表的真正值钱的地方在哪里的啦!

不好意思。。。最后,恕我补一枪。。。
小心中招。5000多买只IWC,对我来说是不可能的事。最好交易时,到IWC客服中心验证吧!

kudos to you for taking the effort to type in mandarin. even though I can understand, I just find it a chore to write it in Chinese. Nonetheless, very impressive knowledge of watches and of course...mandarin.

Don't have to try to justify a brand over another,
you are a brand *****... Truth.
Nothing wrong being one, you don't need to justify, buy if you really like it.

If you know about technomarine watches years ago... My ang mo ex-colleague unapologetically loves it cos it was hip at that time.
It was a piece of pink plastic with diamond crusted bezel that costs more than 5k iirc
