Why are JLC market values so low?

[SpeedyTuomas]

I love the Reverso but don't really see that they have other interesting models. I would either expect a significant discount or buy it second hand. Also too many ref:s!

Still, it's hard to stomach a 40% increase for some models in a year or so period. Their Texas service center is abysmal, but their Swiss service center (finally) fixed Texas' mistakes for the original reasonable service price. JLC make some amazing pieces, but their normal offerings haven't changed much in years, so it is difficult to stomach the current list prices.

So many companies really raised prices too quickly in the last few years thinking the high demand would last forever.

So....when used watches are WAAAAY over retail and you can't get them at an AD we are MAD and curse flippers and hype.
Than when watches are below retail and we can get them both at retail for the full price and on the used market for a significant "discount" we are grungy again??

JLC is a STEAL if you go used!! I went used back in 2019. and thought I'm getting a sweet deal on a spectacular piece for a great price!!

Even if it fell below what I payed I would be ok, as I LOVE IT!!
