Submariners are definitely the safest but unless you have an extremely rare version, their price isn’t going to skyrocket. Ceramic Daytonas are probably the best new Rolex “investment watch”

Rolex prices have been dropping in recent months (pre-COVID). Having said that, I got a 16610 in 2012/13 for around $4500 and from what I can find on the internet, the same watch can cost almost as much as the newer ceramic bezel renditions.

EY1 not sure my input would be of much help wind since the market was very different 8 years ago. I don’t think you’ll see much fluctuation for models like a standard submariner but you may see some movement for specific iterations of hulk, Batman GMT, etc.

I think Chrono24 allows you to “like” a specific watch on sale, that way you can create a list of watches to follow.

I didn’t spend too much time price watching when I got my first sub. Mainly compared it to similar watches that were out on the market.

Any suggestions on timing to tell my boss I’m leaving teaching for another job? I make 26k a year and have been working multiple jobs to pay bills. I’m leaving primarily because I get paid so little. New job pays double for better and less stress. I feel bad not telling parents who have signed up to come specifically for me. But they have zero idea how poorly I’m paid.

Hey y’all. Would love to get some thoughts from people about buying vintage watches and what resources you might use to evaluate a piece before you buy.

I’ve only ever bought new watches but am in love with some vintage pieces. I’m not really sure where to start with resources to do my due diligence and ensure I’m not massively over paying or buying something that no watch maker today could really service.

Would love some thoughts from the bowl on any vintage buys y’all have done.

Thanks!
