a rolex is always going to be resellable to someone though, quick, with the right paperwork.
i guess it ‘s not the worst way to keep value.
just, well, slightly cliched, overbought and when i see one on somebody i kind of assume it’s a fake.
fake ones, really really good fake ones that actually work well because they ahve good swiss movements, but not rolex movements, are available for 1,000 or so.
cheesy!!!!
better to be real…
the display back on the nomos is nice, youc an take off your watch and show your engraved movement…something to talk about.
the most expensive watches use more generic movements, slgihtly engraved, but real watchmakes selling superexpensive watches custom make the parts of the movement.
really neat!
totally
useless…
but really cool…
best shot at appreciation in my mind is something unique, custom, lots of handmade work, historically cool in some way, simple but very very very fine.
in other words, collectible.
a new rolex is not collectible in that sense. it’s just a commodity.
but hell, they might be underpriced, what do i know…
