If you buy brand new BMW or Mercedes, you will take a similar hit on resale as soon as you drive it off the lot.

Also other luxury watch brands also take hits as well, even high horology independents.

I think at the end of the day it's like anything else that you purchase. Make sure you do your research and make sure you really like the watch before purchasing. You would do the same thing if it were a luxury vehicle, jewelry, etc.

I don't understand why you think its a large problem for Breitling, however not an issue for Mercedes or BMW?

Because using the auto industry, considering it's history here in the US, as a benchmark for the luxury timepiece industry, sets a very low bar.

Next step for all of us as consumers will be when we start using the airline industry as our benchmark
