Re: The Official Watch Thread.
Anything is possible, but I think for a good speedy (or SM come to that) to drop to a few hundred would be a hell of a drop.Cousin Jack wrote: ↑Wed Aug 21, 2024 5:20 pmProbably OK, but no guarantees. Watch prices have been silly recently, IMO dragged up by comparison with Rolex where second hand prices were artificial since you couldn't buy new.
In a few years it is quite possible watches will be passe, and people will only buy one cheap and reliable watch. Yours would then be worth a few hundred at best.
The other thing to beware of is fakes. Some are extremely good, and if they can fake a watch the box and papers are not a problem. Can you trust the seller?
Watches are unnecessary anyway, and anyone who wants a cheap and reliable watch will buy one.
The market for high end watches will ebb and flow but I can’t see it fully collapsing.

Its just too light for me.
Considering moving it on somehow. Might keep it as a gift for my "nephew" at Christmas.

Re: The Official Watch Thread.
I must admit, I was very underwhelmed by them as well, but then again I am by all swatch branded watches. I’ve got a 1990s irony that I quite like but apart from that every swatch that I’ve liked the look of had soured when I tried it on.Rockburner wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2024 7:18 pmI hate to say it, but I'm really struggling to like mine.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2024 6:48 pm I'm wearing mine right now!

Re: The Official Watch Thread.
I sold my Speedy about a year ago, just didn't wear it. Sub is my daily and Seamaster makes an odd appearance these days....

Re: The Official Watch Thread.
I've had a few Swatches over the years and i do like the Irony models. I may pick one up, simply to feed my hankering for a chronograph.wheelnut wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2024 7:21 pmI must admit, I was very underwhelmed by them as well, but then again I am by all swatch branded watches.
