Market
Tyo's original post, which was edited due to content violating forum guidelines, sparked a significant discussion about the efficiency of the luxury watch market and pricing. While the initial image and specific price discussions were removed, the replies delve into broader economic factors, collector motivations, and the perceived value of watches beyond MSRP. This thread offers insights into the complex dynamics of the watch market from various collector perspectives.
Connoisseurship, ownership and collecting is about much more than price and who sells what. Price and seller references tend to overwhelm the other more subtle, though equally important aspects of the aficionado experience.
Too much money and Consumers having a good time with jobs and extra money to spend...also I noticed more household have double income...that’s also explains why brands are focusing and targeting women watches. I do agree it’s very crazy but I have 3 of the 6 so no complaints 😜
the good point is one buddy with enough relation could earn $40k with " only " $10k. Bernard Madoff is a newbie
I am guessing it is only a handful of models that commend such premiums. Within the industry as a whole that might be the equivalent of a few stocks going up in a bear market. A recent article in another publication reported that Swiss watch makers and retailers are turning bearish.
Is not about connoisseurship, ownership and collecting and is price and values. As such I don’t think that it in the spirit of the Purists.
Clearly less in France. But I don’t want to focus the discussion only on France.
I'm now appreciate vintage Rolex, look at the price? The 16710 is now between 2 and 3 time more than the last MSRP. BTW, what's the spirit of the Purist? Our fellow Raymond who own 3 out 6 is not a Purist?
