The reality is that unless you are buying the elusive 10% of watches you should expect to lose money the minute you walk out the AD if you are buying near retail.
But if you are looking at value, look at the datographs. It is hard to argue there are many better values out there. Buying new around 55k and used around 40k for an 80k watch? You probably are buying near the floor of this watch so pretty protected value wise. In terms of appreciation I personally think it’s “safer” to expect a datograph to get closer to retail than nautilus to exceed retail. I think even a few years ago people would totally consider trading a nautilus for a datograph, now that you can trade a nautilus for 2 datographs and most would say they wouldn’t is absurd to me.
