Well if he paid $25-30k then that is what he deemed it was worth to him. Regardless of what it could currently fetch, he couldn't replace it for the $25k he valued it at. I guess it all depends on whether you look at timepieces as fungible goods for exchange, or something to wear and enjoy.

My 38mm CS is selling for double to triple what I paid for it and is no longer in production. I wouldn't sell it though because I love the piece and wear it all the time. It was worth what I paid for it back then, but I wouldn't purchase at anywhere near the current asking prices.
