10 Hot Watches That Have Plummeted In Price

[@freyjapope]

I guess I’m in the minority, but I own the IWC Pilot’s Chrono Petronas IW3881-08 that I bought in Switzerland from an AD some years ago. I loved the way it looked but didn’t like how it wore on my wrist-it just looked small. That's why I'm considering selling it. I'll do some research to find out its worth now.

[@tscott6843]

Outstanding video. I’ll watch more.

[@marteanderson7963]

Andrew the metaphor and one liner King of You Tube. All hail the King!

[@robinireland810]

Paid RRP at my AD for both my Sprite and Tudor Chrono. Never considered flipping them, even at double RRP. That’s not why I bought them. No sympathy for those greedy types that have been left with their trousers around their ankles.

[@Pete...NoNotThatOne]

He went out to get smokes. But then they put the price of smokes up drastically, so he had to get a second job which meant he had to go overseas, smokes went up even more… Terrible tragedy.

[@asalaws7847]

“…and a 5 second penalty for Ocon.” Best joke of the video 😅😂

[@vaclav_fejt]

Fun fact, Ocon receives a 5-second penalty even when you think Ericsson hit you. (to get the joke even more niche)

[@discomfortzone]

Hahaha was just about to say the same thing.

[@BusyBeeCandlesOfficial]

Quite liked the swimming pool Platinum joke too 🤣

[@thesummerthatwas76]

Andrew's quip about the drop in the Patek 5740/1G's current price vs it's peak price in May 2022 being "a bigger hit than Candle in the Wind, and twice as tragic", is pure comedy gold. His best yet IMHO.

[@Dsnipez18]

Has the snowflake plummeted as well?

[@markhpluygers2226]

And that's a Sad Truth Andrew didn't mention. GS, at 50% below RRP is about right!

[@peekay4]

Well most of this is because Grand Seiko inventory (new and used) are heavily traded in Japanese yen, which is now at a 40 year low against the US Dollar. So the question is... will the Japanese yen fall even more? That will automatically discount the GS further.

[@thelifeofpablo6626]

@@peekay4problem is import taxes and duties then make the discount disappear again. At least in most European countries

[@peekay4]

@@thelifeofpablo6626 Yes that's true, in Europe if importing a watch from Japan as an individual then the savings aren't much. But, with the weak yen -- a ton of "tourists" buy watches for cheap in Japan tax-free, fly back to Europe without declaring them to customs and then flip these watches to grey market dealers. So the overall market still depreciates.

[@AM-hk3uw]

Great Video, loved it. BUT I did have a laugh when you reviewed the VC watches - as I own both of them. When I purchased the O/S it wasn't a hype/popular piece. I brought the O/S from the local AD several yrs ago, it was in the display window, and straight away I said that is a great watch - went back a week later and brought it. Got the 222 late in 2022, and it's also a great watch. I would prefer the hype went away- as hopefully it is. Both great watches and plan to keep em for ever. Funny how one can end with hype pieces without trying .

[@patrickjean-philippe7679]

[@davidjb3671]

@@killsbugsfastreallfast Agree. My point is that purchasing something utterly useless like a mechanical watch shouldn't come at a cost that even slightly concerns one. I only buy watches - I don't sell - so when I purchase a $75K watch I've already mentally written off that amount. When I'm gone my wife may be more interested in the resale value, but I won't be worrying about it... 😏

The V.C 222 will always do well. I tried finding a new one for 4 years and then gave up. These plummeting watch prices is one of the reasons Anthony Farer (Timepiece gentleman) got in trouble. He was buying some watches for 200K then when they dropped to 75K he lost his shirt.

​​@@yeraulddah3982I believe coz it's due to watches being speculated as "investment".... My opinion is that they should not be treated as investment to make money but more of an investment into the person's experience and joy of wearing them.

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MaMaCoo 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
