If you are a collector, never sell a watch and so treat them as dead money once purchased then all this talk about values and "investment" must be infuriating. If you like to change watches, have a fluid collection and like to enjoy all the watch world has to offer then value retention is certainly important. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Really hope it is continued, so we can get a normal sized one with a SB dial.
And if it has a non-PCL bracelet it would be a bonus. |

If value retention is a serious issue for real collectors, connoisseurs, as well as the new age Instagram flippers then perhaps it is only when it appears to be more important than the watch itself that people get annoyed and lash out on here as we so often see. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Indeed it is, I actually really noticed how important it was a few years ago before the mad hype, on the Patek forum, of all places, and on the grand comps costing over £100K. There was alot of undisguised investment and hope it is discoed soon talk on these pieces which seemed was perfectly acceptable at this price level, and yet I thought these were the people who would least care if their watches depreciated or if they rose in value, but money is money and kudos is kudos, so then when the hype came for the lowly Nautilus I understood straight away that many whales would come back in for this simple watch as the mindset was already there, and thus the price would rocket.

Way to go Chad. Love what I just read. You are right on the money. Reality sucks sometimes for others.

One thing must be said on Peter's defense here. Even being a mod I've never seen him using his power to censor anyone who happens to disagree with him or his views, even if the member's opinion is expressed with evident lack of class and politeness. The forum is a lightly moderated free world where every opinion can be shared and this is awesome.

I don't know about this. I own a Smurf, which does not hold value well, and I love it very much. If I sell it for a lot, or a little, does not matter to me. It is a sunk cost, I spent what I spent, and doubt if I see that money again.
If I buy a sports jacket, I do not think about value retention. I bought a new Mercedes sports car. Will it retain value? I doubt it, but I bought it anyway and enjoy the heck out of it. To some people, value retention is important, to others not so much. |

I understand what you are trying to say. But sport jackets retain zero value. Cars are a depreciating asset, nearly 100% of the time. Watches, in today’s world, are an entirely different animal. I can right now name a dozen watches that when bought at retail are intently worth 50% or more than purchase price.

That’s not an exact number. Clearly. But you’ve been around a long time. So many great members gone.

I know that buddy. Unfortunately. Mon and BC are the ones I miss the most for different reasons, but both had multiple warnings before getting banned. Peter repeats his opinions everyday and I've seen relatively new members quoting him with nasty replies and nothing happened. Many times. He seems to enjoy the controversy. Apart from that he's here participating with everyone and just him and Adam can be seen here posting regularly so I won't complain.

Frankly Peter, I find it tough to swallow that a mod of this epic forum would have those contrarian views. It seems contradictory to the spirit of the impartiality required of forum mods. Care to illuminate your views with a rebuttal or counterpoint?

Doesn’t matter what everyone’s views are. I’m thankful to own the watches I have and able to get.
Will only matter if opinions prevent me from getting watches I want. |

I say- quit the bitch'n about the bitch'n. If you don't like one's comment, suck it up. Who cares what other ppl think. This is a forum where all opinions are welcome- positive or negative. Ppl get butt hurt so easily. I've seen many members come and go and how it has changed over the years.
Things change- adapt and get over it. These are just watches |

Gone but not forgotten. Guys get worn out on the same non sense and lame topics. Any true discussion gets shut down, and often ends with infraction points, warnings, etc. some banned, some said Adios.....

I was hesitating over 116619LB for quite some time and saw it more than a couple of times. So far was not able to swallow up kind of this milky blue colour of dial an bezel. A couple of weeks ago saw by chance blue Pelagos and though they were not side by side I believe there is a great chance of two colours being identical. I just hope 126619LB pops up with another type of blue colour. I would throw myself in if that blue is the same like DD40 deconstructed Roman numerals.

BTW if true it means 116618LB going out as well. I wonder whether R will shut the TT as well?
