For me Rolex represents a great brand, awesome history and I am of the era where it still represents a mile stone purchase. Value is important to me as to get to my current line up (SD16600, JCDS, SD43, Bluesy) I have gone through Pepsi 16701, YM 16622, TT Daytona and a vintage 5513. The great thing for me is I didn't lose any money on trading the watches that weren't for me to curate the collection. It has been like trying them out for free most of the time. As much as I enjoy the timepieces I am acutely aware that with most other brands I would be out of pocket by quite a bit. That and I am yet to love many other brands as much as Rolex. Some have a great model or two but I find for consistency throughout their line up Rolex has me covered. Slight tangent but hopefully makes sense. |

Regardless it doesn't matter, unless you have a goal of losing money. The days of the large LVc premium will be gone very soon and will be near same price level as the LNc just as it was a few years back. The Asian demand is now gone, the market for these will collapse relatively speaking. IMO the watch market just hasn't caught up to the equity markets. Sell Sell Sell find another investment hobby. |

Buy it because you like it and not for investment. For investment you are 9 years too late.

If you have to ask about it, don't do it
