Quote from: Arctic on Jan 13, 2025, 10:52 PMOh yah, this too. Actually many higher tier watch brands also not worth it now

Safe queens

Last time when there is no wait list, a few of my peers bought sub for $10k
I'm tempted too but in the end din buy cos even back then I dun find it worth the money
But if talking about resale value then yah I missed an opportunity

Last time walk in to shop

Rolex all for sale
5k for a sub
Buy more pieces and pay cash can squeeze discount around 17% depending on the models excluding ss daytona.

What resale value. As far as I buyed last time

Is just never drop as much as other brands when u walk out of shop after buying.
Maybe 20% value drop immediately when walk out shop go pawn it.

Thats why when buy alot I squeeze big discount for my subs.

Knn now u see la
Buy 1 watch must suck how many cog and balls.

Interestingly Panerai now damn ez buy. But this one value drop 70% immediately.

$5k sub hahha. How long ago was that? 30 yrs ago? Still holding onto them?

For my case, $10k on a single rolex, I rather get an omega, a sinn, 2 seikos and 3 casios

Mid 90s lo. I started my lolex buying spree cos big bonus alot of cash dunno where to spend except chiong nightclubs

Buyed all the ss subs in various patterns over the years new model until recent years have to suck cock to buy 1 I just stopped.

During their struggle cash flow those times I even buyed a batch of 10 subs to help him with a discount of cos la. Knn even had to take gmt explorer dweller cos no more new subs pattern liao.

Those gemset subs I dare not buyed back then cos really too gaudy for me then to wear office. Knn that one must Versace all over then can carry off. Nabeh then all discontinued become quite sought after now

Too bad I sold quite a numbor of my subs all is during the normal times lose 10% of what I paid. Should have held and kept until 2019s that time Knn even a old 90s rolex can have 30% premium

No I no buy full gold sub also cos just too over priced.

Now ah. Just too leceh to buy a lolex.

I still waiting for my Patek Philippines call. 7 years waiting le.

I will 1 shot sell my entire rolex maybe keep a few rarer ones and change to that one

Told u le. It only appreciated cos bitcoin boom niah too much free cash lying around with people.

Normal economy rolex is depreciating item.

90s is 20%

Now maybe 5 to 10% depending on the model cos now got gray dealer

% is based off yr buying price back then, some old models now get more premium though cos people cannot buyed new ones cos too many produced but they tarek the sales to create fake demand.

U believe rolex have own assem bly line 1 year only produce 30000 pieces across all the models niah meh.

This tactic started in 2012 with the gmt2 batman model they as Ted to hype it but the fake demand only took off during 2017-8 when bitcoin started flying and more siao lang flush with extra cash

Siao ah. A watch is a watch I take it out from the box n wear, wear liao take off put on table. Then change another to wear all them put inside a chocolate tin box
 I don't even have a watch winder.

Just a normal tool watch. Not those tourbillon costing millions, take so much care for what.

If u buy liao want to wear scared this that sctraches etc then I think better off for your mental health to just buy a g shock

USS Singapore - no more half-yearly pass so no longer affordable.

Today just passed by polar puffs and cakes, see the swiss roll cake lao nua. See the price, my lao nua stopped. One small roll $2.60, walked away.
