You laugh, but I’m still not sure if a Matt bang is (a) Matt banging (b) someone banging Matt or (c) several Matt’s banging each other.

by the time all of that is done, you'll probably have more things that "need clearing up."

The best part of that plan is the watch will be unworn since you still might not have it yet.substitute wrote:Step1. Buy every Mkii

Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
I would never invest in a watch. Just now how I think about watches, regardless of what it is. If I am going to invest money, it will be for something where I know I can make a profit.
If I have money for X watch, it will be because I want it and will wear it. If In 10 years I see that this watch is worth way more than I paid and I see fit to sell it, well cool. But buying a watch as an investment is something I would never do.

Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
most I ever made on a watch sale was on a MKII.......I actually think I made a few $$ on all 5 I had.... but nothing touches the Kingston Plank

I don't think that even Rolex sports models have outperformed Index funds the past 10 years...........
Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
Now if you bought when I did and kept them instead of flipping you could of did great as a investment. I bought at reasonable prices and just bought vintage watches I thought were cool with no thought as a investment at the time a lot of our forum members bought a vintage Tudor snowflake like I did some kept them some did not we bought them because we liked them and never realized that some of the vintage we collected would go up so drastically were if we let them go we would never be able to replace them. Vintage Rolex subs and those GMT could be had for 3500-4500 and Tudor subs for 75% less than today. You might be right the vintage watch market might be at the top price they can be sold for were there might be no more profit but I thought 2000 for a vintage Tudor snowflake was crazy at the time I bought mine so there might be profit because it just might get crazier than it is now. Vintage military watches might of topped off so vintage Rolex or Tudor subs might be the way to go quantity price and demand.tattoo chef wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 5:14 amI would never invest in a watch.

Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
This is shitty to say, but all this investment talk smacks of people who can't afford a watch trying to justify financial lunacy. Rolex has always held value well which made them good for flippers. However, the idea that you can park 40% of your retirement into a watch collection and watch it shoot to the stratosphere is so stupid.

Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
Don't get me wrong. Buying shit you can't afford is usually OK. I've definitely stretched myself thin to buy shit I didn't really need. However, I did it because I wanted to - not because I lied to myself.
Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
If the past ten years are any indication, then of course vintage Rolex, Seiko, and Heuer. Seems that the vintage market in general is riding this wave.

Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
I completely agree. We all buy lots of things we don’t need and sometimes can’t afford, but honestly unless you are someone buying and selling as a business for profit, the thought of buying watches because of possible investment is just silly.JP Chestnut wrote:This is shitty to say, but all this investment talk smacks of people who can't afford a watch trying to justify financial lunacy.

Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
I agree, that is unless I had more money. Spencer Klein buys watches as investments. He just pick up a nipple dial Rootbeer Rolex. He has a few 6159's and 6105's also.tattoo chef wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:24 amI completely agree.

Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
I was at a antique show once was talking to a seller who sold vintage watches and other stuff. He said he sold his vintage watch collection he had at the time and used it to buy a house did not ask what type of watches he let go but he sold them way more than he bought them for. Went with my brother to the VA hospital the other day and I see a VFW magazine so I am in the waiting room so start reading it see a ad with you have any vintage Rolex subs or GMT's or US issued dive watches we buy them hoping a sucker will come along and sell a Tornek-Rayville or a Blancpain or Rolex or Tudor sub diver for cheap ripping off veterans very shameful all most wrote the phone number so I could jerk the ass-hole chain I bet the buyer hopping the vet has alzheimer's .
Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
The folks who really made money on "vintage" Rolexes, etc. were the folks who bought them brand new in the 1960s and 1970s (and maybe 1980s) and never had them serviced , so they kept the original dials and hands intact basically out of sheer laziness or because they just didn't care. In other words, they were people who were just buying a watch to buy a watch - not as an investment. They hit the lottery entirely by accident.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:13 amThis is shitty to say, but all this investment talk smacks of people who can't afford a watch trying to justify financial lunacy.

Same thing happened with comic books and baseball cards. By the time people realize they can buy stuff like that as an investment, it's usually too late to see a huge rate of return.

Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
Yep. The "smart money" (like River Rat) already got into the watch game years ago. Stupidly, it seems to be the newer guys who know the least that are obsessed with watches as investments.JBZ wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:48 amThe folks who really made money on "vintage" Rolexes, etc. were the folks who bought them brand new in the 1960s and 1970s (and maybe 1980s) and never had them serviced , so they kept the original dials and hands intact basically out of sheer laziness or because they just didn't care.

Here's a good rule of thumb for "watches as investments": If you need to ask someone's advice on what to get you're not the smart money.

Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
For the record, I'm not looking to buy watches as investments. I'm looking to buy a somewhat vintage piece I can enjoy for a while and make a profit on down the road should I decide to sell it and not give it to my son. I think a 16800 fits the bill as a 1680 is more bills than I can afford!
Re: Which watch do you feel will appreciate most in 10 years?
16800 is a great watch. I highly doubt you'll lose money on it.
