From my experience, the resale value is quite low.... Actually much lower than many others, which I find hard to understand on horological merit..... VC is one of the best manufacturers, yet its general public image is much lower that Panerai, foe example...

As I stated in my answer to Bill´s comment, I have a lot of sympathy for this attitude as well. My starting post did not only aim at the financial aspect (resale value), but also at a probable underlying factual difference (quality). I have learned by oth...

Yes, tick-talk, that´s only too true. If our interest in watches becomes too "strict", even watch enthusiasts may turn into grim warriors defending the right cause. Whenever I re-read the guide of conduct here, I do not find such an attitude and to b...

Hello and thank you for posting this excellent question. I must say I am surprised that Vacheron is so cheap for certain models. I must say that the modern pieces - pieces made after 1990 - do not appear to be cheap at all. There is an initial drop howeve...
