    The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

    @Newcomer Nuke! I love that. By the way, your screen name is getting a little old. How you been these few years? I have a big birthday this week. Mrs mimo really came through for me. I wanted one of these since 2013!

    The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

    Rolex love the high used prices because they feed the feeling of specialness and perpetuate the demand for new models. But most people don't buy new watches on the grey market - there simply isn't the supply where Rolex is concerned, hence the preposterous mark-ups. Rolex controls their grey...

    A friend of mine here in the Old World told me he's just lost £100k (about $125k) in 28 months on his (new bought) McLaren. But he's found ordering the new Taycan Turbo S irresistable. I wish I could convince him to spend more on watches - though he's not doing badly on that score either.

    Now what does that magic button do? You know it's illegal to post one picture of a Reverso, right? Makes no sense - ever Reverso needs at least two or three for proper evaluation!

    That would make a lot more sense - if it's not worth the money to you inherently, it makes no sense to buy it. But I meant thinking of resale as a primary deciding factor. Exactly what I had in mind. If you don't mind a used watch, then it might even make a perverse sense to seek out stuff...

    I think if your main motivation for buying a watch is your estimated resale value, buy another watch. Or perhaps its just a different subject.

    They don't give most special editions series numbers these days because everyone wants the same damn numbers. Every grey dealer and provincial agent has a special watch they can offer you that's got a number with a four in it. Chinese soft power! They still series number some of the higher...

    You can solve that by using the back as the front at those times :rimshot: Here's an interesting JLC: a limited edition of 100 very thin (4mm) two-hand dress watches, made for the new "Kingsman" movie. List price (tax paid) in the UK is £26900, through Richemont's recently-acquired online...

    The SS is really pretty. I don't do gold myself so I'd definitely wear it. But the gold is pretty and exclusive!

    You didn't mention what size they are. But do make a listing in Buy & Sell - it doesn't cost anything.

    Congratulations - that is a really neat modern take on a classic design. And all watches are welcome in this thread - it's the other one that confines to a price limit as a guide. It's nice to have variety alongside every graduate's new Submariner ;) As for the Speedy, there is no harm in...
