·hello, many collectors claim the rarity of their watch. an example of Omega Seamaster or Speedmaster that many claim to be rare. what evidence does this prove?
I think it's a difficult question to answer. I think it is difficult to say that there are few in the world. we know the quantity of watches produced only on limited editions. exact

·you know many people don't say things as they actually are. in wuesta conversation a person I liked so much with this sentence and giving explanations to the question
I do not need people to start thinking I may be a good target to case and rob.

·reply.
I wouldn’t go around boasting the rarity of what I have. I don’t buy things to show off. I enjoy having one off/rare items but I keep that enjoyment to myself. If, say I run into another group member of go to a GTG, I would happily talk about my watch, but outside of that, I wouldn’t walk around showing it off.
on this question I agree.

·I sense this thread, without reading it all went a bit sideways
as far as rarity of more vintage watches go, you have the buyers that want a speedmaster and spot a watch from the 60s and like the look and buy it
then you have the collectors who want the best and rarest. This is a minefield. Tonnes of watches out there that aren’t original. For expensive pieces that are classed as rare are marked up. Buyers go through finders who take a fee to find a watch or even have already acquired to resell to their clients.
going through a buyer you trust you know they put the legwork in to find you a mint original example that when the market does appreciate those will appreciate the most. Generally.
then you have people who go it alone on pricier pieces but they really need to do their homework.
I think you need to make the distinction between older pieces which are generally priced quite strongly across many makes and pieces that are much higher priced. You don’t need to worry about what’s rare and what isn’t. The market is so vast that if multiple sellers are listing at a high premium, there is usually a very good reason
also If you have to ask what makes something rare then there is probably a lot to learn.

I think this analysis is spot on. It is one of the reasons I like this forum.
I like the reviews and feedback on the various people selling watches here.

That's funny as I read your post yet missed how you will "demonstrate the rarity of your watch". 😁
