I’ve fallen in love with this Grand Seiko SBGH267. This will be my next big watch purchase.

It’s limited to 1500 pieces and has a cult following. I’m worried about the price increasing (Cont.)

OP - don’t take this the wrong way, just some advice from someone much older. If all you got in the bank is less than $10k, maybe you should consider investing that for the future first (watches are not investments, it’s a luxury). Wait until you are a bit more established, got a bit more savings before considering such large purchases. Don’t try to keep up with the Jones. Now, if you are from a well to do family, ignore all this, buy now or wait until you are ready to buy. There will always be another limited edition and something nice, this is how these companies keep people interested.

In that case, go for it. Only live once. 👍

Given that the grey dealers sell that model new for ~$5.5k and the fact that GS releases limited edition series all the time - I would not be too worried for a price increase

Try somewhere like davidsw or jomashop if you don’t mind buying grey and foregoing an in-person experience at a retailer/AD

I worked at a Grand Seiko AD for six months; this watch is beautiful and one of their best. That said, no Grand Seikos have appreciated all that much (maybe the original dial Snowflake is the only example, and even those don’t go for much over retail). It may take some patience but the SBGH267s pop up from time to time, and I don’t think you’d have any trouble in six months finding a good example for a good price

Thanks for the info!

I have the cash now, but I’d like to save up for it and make the purchase sometime between Nov-19 and Jan-20.

Buying now would mean liquidating my strategic cash reserve (that I use for investment opportunities).

My question for the group is this:

1. How likely do you think it is that the price will increase over the next 6-12 months from the current market price of around $6-6.5K?

2. If the price does increase, what do you think is the worst-case scenario and what do you think is the most likely scenario (I.e. how much do you think it could increase)?

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!
