I’m seeing prices for watches that used to depreciate heavily pre-2020 - but suddenly began to hold value because of the Rolex craze - tank like crazy. IWC, Panerai, Omega etc. you name it. Finally!!!!

Noticed this as well. Goes to show you how much a list price can be fantasy. I don’t believe many of the references that were percieved to “hold value” actually did. I’m also seeing a ton of people on forums and other places online that chat watches looking to sell. I’ve always enjoyed buying pre owned references, especially “odd ones” you know - the ones you may not pay 9k for at a dealer, but 3-4? sure. Glad to see this.

I was a huge fan of watchuwant before Tim Mosso and his founding buddies sold and merged with govberg to start WatchBox.com
I bought a couple great watches from them. I love what they have done to pre owned - making it legit, however the prices on WatchBox are crazy & mostly crazy trend stuff, that said, you can find some gems. The service is excellent and you can email them with a reference you want and they will find it.

I’ve bought one reference on Chrono24, no issues. I’ve also bought watches on eBay, going back to early 2000s. As far as other sites..

most people know about Bobs watches as a premier online grey and pre owned Rolex dealer. Bobs was originally headquartered not far from where I live and I used to stop in there before they moved to Newport Beach CA. and they were smaller. Great place, good people and they def have vintage beyond Rolex. All meticulously inspected and guaranteed. I always liked dealing with them.

Good, time to buy myself another Ingeniuer

Any tax accountants/attorneys in here? What would happen to the 401k of a foreign worker if they cannot longer maintain an immigration status and have to go back home? What about a ROTH 401k? Assuming they made after-tax contributions, would they still be able to take tax-free distributions if they are non-resident aliens for tax purposes?

And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!
