The seamaster 750€.
The 30T2 800€.
Like we all know this is tricky because for example for me the re-dailing of the the 30T2 doesn´t bother me too much and I like it like this, but the problem is I think of it as an investment as well and this kind of watches on these days are more expensive than a few years ago.
Basically and for conclusion my point of view, give 800€ for a watch that for some reason in the future I might need to sell it I know that I´m gonna loose money becasue isn´t in the conditions that should be or the watch collectors don´t aprecciate. And if they were more cheaper I could think on buy them like they are, but with those prices I don´t give the chance.
Well I need to be patience and keep "fishing" and my anniversaire present needs to keep wating until I find the "Holy grail"....
Thank you for your help.
One of the first things I learned here is that this is essentially a community of collectors. Yes, there are dealers here, and some collectors sell here, but the collectors tend to do it to make room or raise funds for another watch. There’s very little talk here of buying for investment, because very few people here are in it for investment purposes.
Furthermore, as collectors, the people here probably know far more about a watch’s history and quality than its investment value. There are several people here who are living encyclopedias when it comes to watches, but they are not able to see the future, and for the most part, they’re not interested in what a watch is going to be worth.
Of course, there are many people here, I’m sure, who have bought watches with a hope, a view, and even an expectation that it will increase in value. I doubt many of these people are putting their pension provision in their watch collection, however. I’m guessing that they are using other financial vehicles as investments.
For the most part, people here complain about how prices are being driven up by speculators, so it’s not the place to ask for speculation advice.
So, my two pennyworth is to repeat the advice that probably comes up here on a daily basis - buy it because you like it, pay for it what you want to pay for it, and enjoy it. If you want to buy for long term financial gain you’re pretty much on your own, because nobody really knows what a good investment is, the best you’ll get here is someone’s idea of a bad buy.
