They will appreciate in line with price increases. Unless a limited run then they are not rare or in demand.
....any thoughts on if they are still depreciating or where they might go?....particularly a 42mm titanium version.
afaik, the previous (2500) PO initially depreciated, leveled out and now is slightly increasing?
Cheers

Pre-owned prices seem fairly stable but I've had several Planet Oceans over the years and my overall thoughts are they are a good watch, but not a great watch. Each variant has a few pluses and a few minuses and the search goes on for the ultimate PO.

I'd be interested to know which watch(es) you regard as great?

I can't speak for the OP, but I agree the PO is not a great watch. I currently have a larger sized (45.5mm?) 8500 PO and it's the bezel click which is the main issue I have with it... just not very satisfying.
For me a great watch would be the Grand Seiko SBGA031 (and similar models from GS).
As far as pricing for 8500 PO's goes, they seem to have been pretty stable for a while, but I haven't been looking too closely.

I had the 8500 42mm titanium version, and it was very good watch but the shade of blue was ultimately not to my liking and again the lack of bracelet adjustment was criminal at the price point.

I know what you mean, there's nearly aways something to find fault with. Take my new Seiko Turtle for instance, a really nice watch but the strap is way too long.

Over the years I've had numerous watches in all shapes and sizes, but my 40mm Chronomat GT has a lot going for it, a really nice shade of blue dial, classic Chronomat design, looks good on a strap or bracelet, good build quality, a very well made bracelet with micro adjust and a rock solid easy to service cost 7750 movement. Of course other would not been seen dead wear a Breitling, but that's my opinion for what it's worth.
Cheers
