Watches you will buy when the bottom falls out of the market

Has the bottom fallen out yet? Not seeing any panic selling or widespread price reductions anywhere

For a seller, I think the signs are pointing to we're getting there - but at the same time, no one really is wanting to buy either. If you went to WF trying to sell a watch, I think they would be low-balling you. SC seems to have a fair few interesting watches which also aren't shifting. At the moment, it really depend on how desperate the seller is to sell.

TBH I never thought there would be.

Just wishful thinking on some's behalf.

[spud767]

A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin

Rolex Explorer 2 white 40mm

Some sort of Grand Seiko but I can't decide.

That's it, not much to ask I don't think.

[goody]

Grand seiko for me

[Johnny.h]

Rolex gmt pepsi or speedy moony but I do like the explorer 2 already have explorer 1 and that’s going nowhere so the 2 would be a good addition

[manicmunnday]

Well, seeing as I'm headfirst down the vintage military rabbit hole, hopefully someone will be willing to part with a fine example or two for a reasonable price!

Maybe an Omega 53, or 6bb Hamilton Chrono...

(Or a blue dial Tudor Pelagos) :P

Stay safe everyone!

I've had a hankering for a Speedy for a while, and I keep regretting selling that BB58. It would be great to pick up a bargain (if they come up), but there is a voice somewhere in my head yelling about how nobody knows how long this will last and whether it's really a good idea to tie up funds in watches right now.

If the offer is good enough I might tell the voice to pipe down, but I'll listen to it for a bit longer.

I’d love a Tourbillon, if there was a Swiss brand at 10-12k I’d be very tempted.

Tag do one which you pick ip for 8k but it’s just too sporty.

In my opinion, the two best 'cheap' tourbillions are made by Angelus (potentially too sporty) and Ulysse Nardin, which also features an enamel dial. Both fine choices.

The Angelus does look nice, I might have to do some research. The UNs is lovely, but not quite to my taste, maybe a bit abstract. I do like the Arnold and Son or a couple of the JLCs.

Another watch I'd quite fancy is Montblanc with Minerva movement.

I may be wrong but I can see more of the higher priced, low volume brands losing value quickly.

Just a cheeky one. A nice piece to have picked up in the current malaise.

The Angelus is a lot of watch for the money. A friend has one and it has totally satiated his desire for another tourbillon (and he has quite the collection).

Well done, you maybe our first buyer to try and take advantage of prices! May I ask roughly how much lower than market value?

[Skyman]

^^^^^Mine was more of a parallel shift.

There IS actually a Swiss brand making an in house tourbillon for about 7k $.
The brand is called Horage.

No date Sub.

[Martylaa]

Blue Dial Tudor Sub or the Tudor Prince Date

When will it be this wind....

[NickGaters]

Something quite restrained for me
I think. Either of these two:

- no date sub
- titanium PO

Leaning more towards the PO I tend to enjoy and wear my omegas way more than my Rolex.

Which ever hits 3.5k first either a Speedmaster Tin Tin or a 60’s SM300

[pacifichrono]

If I could just pick up one of these for under $5,000, I'd snap it up! Maybe at the Apocalypse?

[Akgooner]

Definitely an explorer 2 16570 polar but would need to drop to 3k... I’ll just keep dreaming

[tertius]

Maybe one of those Oris skeletons if the price came down enough.

This would be my choice as well, was briefly very excited by the “50% off Oris” post earlier in the thread ...

[mtagrant]

Chaykin Joker or UN Freak possibly

[cookie88888]

rolex day date

[cookie88888]

........and a hulk.

[Sinnlover]

An original 60s SM300 (preferably big triangle but I am not fussy) would have to go on my list as well
And an original Ploprof
And a Big Blue.
And a vintage 809 Cosmonaut - this will be the watch that ends my watch buying.

[moynan66]

Aquanaut or an AP Royal Oak at RRP.......highly unlikely I know.

I am also on the “list” for a Pepsi.

[SteveM112]

Not really seeing any “Fallout” yet from the current situation on the Facebook Rolex Forums people are still paying a huge premiums on the current hot pieces. ie Ceramic Daytona £19.5k.. Hulk £12.5k.. Pepsi £13k..Bat whatever £10.5k+..Rootbeer £13k+..
There really doesn’t seem to be any loss of appetite for these pieces and others at these prices .
Yes prices have been falling long before C-19 struck and I don’t believe you are going to see any significant falls on what is considered vintage..10years or older..

The Market seems to be in a state of limbo and where we go from here is anyone’s guess for me it’s only going to be the speculators and flippers who will need to cash their pieces in...

I guess only time will tell but the Evidence so far is prices are stable and only New stock where huge discounts have always been available are where bargains maybe found..

Don’t base everything on what Watchfinder/Watchmaster are doing.

Aye, still seeing them selling for premiums. There is the odd deal to be had though.

Sellers can keep asking for the ridiculous premium but if you look around the forums Worldwide, whether that is Chrono24, Paneristi or Rolexforums etc. Buyers ain’t buying and prices are continuing to drop every day as some sellers are in these unfortunate circumstances getting desperate as they see the continued drop with the potential of no upward return for the remainder of this year.

No one pays a premium for a falling commodity and that is filtering through into the secondary watch market.

Back on topic, for myself it would be the Rolex Day date 40 with olive dial. Unsure how much of a trend Rose gold currently is and one which could fade away pretty quickly but the Olive dial with the Rose is a stunning piece. Would be very tempted if these went sub 20k😁😁

Unfortunately that’s just not true join up on Facebook to the well established Rolex forums and you will see people paying these quoted prices in a falling market day in day out..
For me it’s insanity but WTF do I know..
I just observe from the sidelines..

Yeah, I don't get it either.

Surely the smart money would be to hold off on expensive luxury purchases seeing as a global recession seems inevitable now.

I'm not an economist, but I've definitely trapped the remaining moths in my wallet. They're not going anywhere!

(Unless someone has a Tudor Pelagos they want rid of at a good price...)

Doh!

[Alansmithee]

the next mortgage and car payments (start of may) will see a bit of panicked selling if we still have lockdown in the UK then...
