There are special or formal occasions where you wouldn't look polished without a proper dress watch. A decent dress watch is an elegant accessory to have as part of your wardrobe. Give yourself a good gift, and enjoy the timepiece, it is a work of art you carry with you.. and says something about you. My timepiece is so nice to look at, that on days I feel sad or down, just looking at the beauty of the craftsmanship and mesmerizing dial face, just lightens my mood. No regrets investing in it.

So stick to my Pilot range This looks very nice! But I wonder if there are any retaining value for IWC watches? Are they worth investing?

Are they worth investing? I think that the chances of a watch being a good investment, that it, that it can be sold at a higher price than it was bought, is slim. This does not mean that they depreciate rapidly like other objects. I think that while investing in a watch making company can be profitable the more watches they make, the value of each individual watch loses value the more of them are around. But surely there are exceptions. With the Chinese starting to make fancy watches with tourbillion, won't this affect the value of other fancy watches?

I buy to wear, not for investment. Only a few brands retain value and maybe even increase. IWC is not one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petet Posted November 8, 2024 Report Share Posted November 8, 2024 I've been warned that some watches sold might be "counterfeit." Are there any recommended shops known for their reliability and honesty, especially for newcomers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trendyke Posted November 22, 2024 Report Share Posted November 22, 2024 (edited) I’ve always been fascinated by the inner workings of watches too—there's something so mesmerizing about mechanical horology, even if I also find myself drawn to the precision of quartz and electronics like you mentioned. That’s why I’ve been looking into Replica Rolex GMT-Master Watches recently, specifically the rolex gmt master ii first copy. It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure—kind of like finding a good piece of mechanical craftsmanship that’s not too out of reach! As for your upcoming VTEC engine project, I totally get the MACRO mechanics vibe. Replacing that knock sensor sounds like a fun challenge—good luck with it!

You can either sell to a watch dealer/pre-owned watch shop or advertise on carousell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
del_ta Posted December 22, 2024 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2024 Have never sold a watch so have no clue how to sell them! But selling through online platform seems risky given the sums involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
