Whereas a 6542 bought new is obviously going to be astronomically worth more than its sticker price! |

In 2008, preowned GMT 1675s from circa 1967-1970 sold for $2600-$3000 - whether it had a fuchsia or not. There was no premium for fuchsia GMTs until around 2012. Nice GMT 1675s have appreciated 500% or more for nice examples from 2008 until now.

This could not have been too long ago either. Maybe only 4-5 years ago. 1680 whites were still $5K at that time, reds around 10-11, Daytona at 29 for a sigma, and 34-35 for a big red, etc etc. I remember people telling me I joined the vintage market too late when those were the prices. |

I turned down the offer a mint Big Red from Jacek years ago at 16 grand, and later a very good Tudor Monte Carlo Homeplate at 17 grand, thinking the prices might come down. They've both gone stratospheric since.

That's what everyone said 10 years ago, and look where we are now. You won't know if it was too late until years from now. People said London real estate was expensive in the 1990s, but you'd be more than a millionaire now if you'd spent a couple of hundred grand then. The power of time is worth a fortune.
Hedge your bets and buy a nice watch without thinking of it as an investment, and just enjoy it. If it goes up, great. If it doesn't, you've got an awesome vintage piece on your wrist to pass on to future generations. It's win-win. |
