Let's hope so... for us buy-and-holders.

You're probably right about less desirable vs. desirable models. This will probably just increase KStar's profit margin.

 

I think you nailed it on the head. Just like the sought after stainless models, it's not about the metal, it's about the desirability.

 

From what I know if anything the gold has to go back up ...any down price would be a temporary as Gold is not a brand or a trend

 

Gold is just a sense of stability for financial markets. People need liquidity and it was already way over priced as it neared 1800 because of the fear. Our economy has stabilized from what I can see working in finance here in NYC. Things are going to be better IMO just takes a little more time to see it but I can see the money is already beginning to move quite a bit.

 

Agree. For the passionate collector, it's a bit like saying your champion St. Bernard is worth more than your champion Beagle because there's more to eat if it comes to that.

 

Indeed. Each night I pray he never discovers gold El Primeros and 135's.

 

Hey now, let's not talk about eating dogs.

Cats however...... fire up the grill! They're denizens of an evil realm sent to wreak havoc on Earth and I can prove it. Ever hear of a dogaclismic event? No, you haven't, have you? If an earthquake, flood, or other natural disaster happens nobody calls it a dogtastrophy. And in ancient times, where did the dead get buried? It wasn't in a dogacomb, was it.

 

I should delete that post just on general principle. He can Google, you know. ( )

 

Yeah, why does nobody seem to eat cats except ALF (there's a blast from your pop-culture past) and coyotes, which will eat anything? They must taste absolutely awful.

 

Cat, did you say cat?

Our respectable forum member sumerian will swoop on any desirable vintage-watches in 18k solid gold. There is nothing that can stop him. It is akin to his breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Thank-you.

 

As someone who works in the investment and financial community, the price of gold should be in steady decline, (parallel to that of the US's forecasted moderate -stagnated growth until 2020), for the foreseeable future pending a crises like the collapse of the Euro zone; which would trigger a rise in gold prices.

That said, I doubt that desirable gold models will take a hit, as evidenced by the increasing demand for vintage, (specifically omega), watches. I also doubt that the moderate decline in gold prices will lead people to refrain from listing their watches for sale, holding out for a better price. If supply does decrease it will most likely be due to the fact that more people can afford to hold onto their heirlooms and collections, whereas they were forced to sell them off during the recession. Which would only serve to buoy prices for in-demand models.
