Yahor, a bit manic looking, especially at night! *grin*. -

Must buy from trusted sources - at least those that have been around a long time. A friend's father is a serious amateur, he buys from pawnshops and sells via ebay. There had been times when he was fooled by fakes! - a guy who always looks at watches some more.
talking about 2nd hand watches...heard from 2nd hand dealers that the best buy will be 2nd hand, 1st hand owners tend to 'lose' a lot..
true?
I think it depends on the type of watch. Those limited editions, those tourbillions - I'm sure will only appreciate in value. but those 'normal' types, probably the 1st owner will lugi if they sell to 2nd hand dealers. Then again, for 2nd hand buyer, papers may be missing, warranty may not be there - so it's buy at your own risk. Personally I'll buy only those pieces that attract me - 1st/2nd hand not withstanding.
Hour Glass sale may be a good place to hunt. DH got a Gerald Genta retrograde at half the price (no box though, we paid about 200 to get a GG box from somewhere else) once.
Blingbling fans may want to consider Chopard - 'Happy' diamond watches. -
Be mindful where you send your watches for servicing too.
BIL’s Tag and Breitling inside kena change to seiko parts, found out when he brought back to agent. -
Agreed.That is the reason why i always sent back to the designated agent for servicing...but really ex...one time go into the Hospital like maybe about 500?

Where would be a good place to get rolex watches???? Any good lobang?[/quote][/quote][is it still copenhagen
Busymom, tree nymph is pretty much right.

[quote=\"tree nymph\"]Hi Busymom,
The entry level one, just plain face without diamonds and stainless steel design is about $5k. There are some boy face watch which might be slightly cheaper like $4.5k. Those with 11 tiny diamonds as dial is $9k and above... if i'm not wrong. the same diamond dial watch was about $5-6k 10 years ago.
Joy,
you mean can get good price rolex in Copenhagen? do you know around how much lesser? -
Blobbi:
No, cos cannot sell back type. It's just a feel-good number. :roll:
Still a good investment right?ks2me:
[quote=\"Blobbi\"]
Got mine at $12k years ago. And of course, regretted I didn't get a nicer one cos the prices have more than doubled.
BTW, used to have a colleague who is an avid watch collector. He's really good at spotting the next hot brand and would buy before prices popped. He doesn't resell though.[/quote]Blobbi,
do you still keep in contact with him? can check with him what brands we should look out for now?
