3 Watches Under $10,000 That HOLD Their Value (That Aren’t Rolexes) | Chrono24

[@daletam3893]

I’m literally deciding between the Santos and Speedmaster right now. This video helped me decide I need both.

[@mitchmitchell9588]

That’s the best answer!

[@mitchmitchell9588]

Thomas: Great video. Your version of "value retention" is a smart approach to collecting for almost everybody. Work hard, buy a great watch, enjoy it AND, if you have to sell it, break even (or maybe even realize a slight profit). The selection of watches fits this sane approach to collecting, and shows that it can be done at a wide range of price points. Fantastic content. One minor point: the new Alpinists are pretty amazing.

[@Chrono24Official]

Thank you for sharing Mitch! 😊🙌

[@costelloandsilke7321]

The Zenith Rainbow Flyback is a massively underrated watch complete with El Primero movement that can be bought affordably and will hold its value.

[@mitchellglazer2187]

The santos is pure class, love the easily changeable straps of the new model.

[@matthewross1494]

If you can’t afford to have a watch drop in value you shouldn’t buy it. Never bought a car, phone, jewellery etc expecting it to retain its value.

[@Flexiboy8042]

Everyone has to go through difficult times at some point. The point here is that you can afford easily a watch at some point and have the need for liquidity in the future for any reason. Having something that expensive that holds its value is pretty enjoyable as it is still representing a lot of money for more than 90% pf the people

[@asura2545]

The best is to buy what you like, when the time is right. Don't think of selling something you love before even getting it...

[@cdb5001]

as a Speedy owner, I love the Santos for it's look, history and bracelet. However, my most recent "value retention" move was to sell my SARB033 for a tidy profit and upgrade to the much rarer and pricier SARB045.

[@Chrono24Official]

And? Happy with it? 😊

[@WrongTimeWatch]

I could have purchased a Santos 2 years ago for $5,800. I bought a Tudor BB58 instead. Still have the BB58, which helped me get the opportunity to but a Submariner from the AD.

[@bencowen69]

I’d choose the Santos, such a classy piece and I have a feeling the values going to surge in the next few years.

[@Azzmelater]

To say the santos isn’t a popular watch is an understatement

[@RolexNumero1]

Cartier Santos Galbée ❤❤❤

[@lcm6091]

Refreshing, to see a video featuring watches that are attainable by the average collector. It is frustrating to be offered countless videos about watches that are available to only the “investors “. Would love to see more! Thanks

Great Vid. Thank you. Some others to consider , budget friendly, Heuer Carrera CS3110, Seiko SARB033, Universal Geneve Polarouter, Omega Seamaster 300 ref. 2254, Glycine airman No1 36mm, amazing, classic, iconic watches that holds value pretty well for each category chrono, everyday, vintage, diver, GMT part of my personal collection

It's a 145.022 Speedmaster Professional

[@jeromef2001]

Please,what santos model? There is so many variation...

[@Maestromarksherwin]

Hello! I’m thinking about adding another watch to my collection, but I’m torn between the Cartier Santos Medium white dial and the Omega Aqua Terra 38mm green dial. I really like both, but I can only choose one, LOL! For context, I already have a Tudor Black Bay S&G 39mm with a champagne dial, and I’m looking for something that complements it or a variety. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

[@mahmoudghoneim8004]

This is the watch hobby as we used to know and love.

[@RedwoodAggie]

The SARB017 is 39.5mm, but it's still a great size, that wears smaller than one might think, especially on strap. I personally love my blue SPB089 variant, which is well north of the $600 MSRP I paid, but that is because only 1,959 were made. I'm glad you included it on your list, which was unexpected. The Speedmaster price now vs. then price almost makes me want to shed a tear, but I didn't have the money to even consider one back then.

[@guszam1036]

WILL THE TWO TONE SANTOS MEDIUM HOLD IT'S VALUE? OR ONLY SS?

[@eddieg849]

The Red Band looks really nice on that Santos

[@Chrono24Official]

Oh yes!

[@malcolmwordsworth4638]

I have already chosen. Speedy 3861 is in the collection. I have an anti Roman numerals thing going on, but for which, the Santos would be a consideration.

[@Chrono24Official]

Hey Thomas, Great video as always 👍. Can you advise where on Chrono24 we get access to the historical price charts as shown in this video ? Keep up the great work 👍

[@mitchmitchell9588]

I think they are usually on the bottom of watch listings. Some watches don’t have enough data, so no charts.

Hey guys :) We used the charts from our chrono24 watch collection. There are no different charts. It depends on the model, how much data will be shown, as Mitch Mitchell said before. If you login to your chrono24 account and add a specific watch to your watch collection, you can check the price development of almost all watches. If you need any help, wen can assist you guys for sure. Cheers guys! ✌😊

[@oalaqeel]

There is a plenty of supply for Santos and Speedmaster. Those are not investment for sure. Tudor is not investment as well for the same reason.

There are some Grand Seikos hold their value too, some even increase like whirlpool or peacock

[@cosmofox]

Does anyone have a take on the Cartier Roadster?

[@abdolreza82]

Thanks for the great videos. Have a question for you: Is it better to own a Longines solid gold watch (elegant collection) or an Omega De Ville (stainelss steel) for roughly the same price? Which one holds its value? Really appreciate your answer.

[@DiGuliy]

I am between Santos and Speedmaster, but probably I will go with Santos. The first wristwatch ever. I think you missed the fist ever automatic chronograph from Rolex group. The famous Big Block or their last generation with some of them known as the Tigers (it is the year of the tiger). Like Daytonas but more affordable (at the moment) and with a nice history behind.

[@santoshchopade8289]

What's your view on Cartier tank Louis. Will it appreciate in value?

[@Cooksmaster01]

correction. the first pilot watch is santos dumont which is a completely different watch to the cartier santos

[@Chrono24Official]

Here's what the Cartier website says about the collection (including both Santos-Dumont and Santos de Cartier): "The Santos watch was conceived by Louis Cartier in 1904 to help aviators tell time mid-flight. Since then, this pioneering wristwatch has become an icon, defined by its geometric dial, harmoniously curved horns and signature exposed screws."

[@m4jqp]

do the Santos' screw heads not lining up trigger anyone elses OCD?

[@tuttorial-thehumaninvoluti6155]

Great Video Thomas! Speedy & Alpinist are my favorite

[@Chrono24Official]

Cool, thanks!

[@AmithVasanthaKumar]

Thanks for the video, great insights. My favourite is the Santos as well and it's on my 'to-buy' list. Hope I get one soon and be able to experience it, later review it as well 😉

[@Chrono24Official]

Thanks for watching!

Santos for me as well

[@DWilliam1]

Watches shouldn’t be seen as investments. If you want to invest in something invest in real estate, the stock market or a business. You will make a lot more money. That said, buy what you like, try not to overpay and hold onto it and pass it to your kids. A good quality watch will hold some of its value in case you go belly up, but your purchase should not be based on that.

[@diegomervich7177]

Would you put in the list also the Speedmaster co axial chronometer 38mm? :)

[@macakgarfild2896]

Omega apollo 17 45 anniversary, Blancpiain 50fathoms bathyschape, Rolex datejust

[@sinafunke3449]

Nice Clip and 3 Watches that s worth it money and not a Rolex. I like the Santos most!

[@danielcanizales731]

I will buy a Santos and not care if it dropped to worthless. It is such an iconic, timeless, beautiful piece in my mind. Just like my Seamaster, it enchanted me and I'm hopping when I buy a Santos it lives up to my dreams as the seamaster did

[@Chrono24Official]

Good choice!

[@han7902]

Tons of watches' price went off the chart due to big inflation since 2020. For example, glycine airman d-c4. This is pre Invicta model that 2 years ago you can get one for sub 400 dollars in gray market. Since then it is sold out everywhere and price went beyond 1000 dollars used. Watches didn't double the price with 3 years is not worth mentioning.

Nope, it's a watch. If you want to invest - there are stock markets, real estate etc. Buy what you really want, enjoy it. If you are happy you will make much more money. The life is too short and what is the point everyone to wear Rolex, Santos or Speedy. Come on, people. Don't ruin your true desire because you want something and this will loose value. If you follow that "investment" logic soon you will wear second hand clothes and eat only junk food.

I was really excited and I expected much more from Chrono24. The same topics as everywhere. It looks like the watch community has the same opinion for every watch or brand: Everyone hates Hublot. Everyone is disappointed by TagHeuer. Everyone wants Rolex. Everyone is looking about the retention value. And of course everyone wants the dot over 90. I have Omega, Rolex, Bulova, Doxa, TagHeuer, Oris and even Pagani Design watches. And I don't care about the money. I enjoy every single watch of my collection. Nothing really exciting here. Too predictable. Sorry. Not interested anymore.

Zenith with El Primero, the Rolex quartzes, etc. The "homages" between the big brands (not only Hublot) is also good topic. The rise and fails of the giants - Longines in the past and Longines in the present. What is the process in the watch factories to promote apprentices to masters.
