With the slowdown in the economy, we see normalisation in a lot of markets. Used cars, housing prices, etc etc.

Do you expect to buy watches for their MSRP in the near future?

Grey market prices always go up before Christmas, so hold off to January if you can.

Given that we have not reached max pain and watches are a luxury good; it would be a safe assumption there’s still time for prices to come down

Yes! I've been a long time collector and actually expect MSRP discounts in the next couple of years. Given high inflation, MSRPs will be rising at the same time that the secondary market will see increased volume and price softening. I would hold purchases, but stay liquid for the dip

Prices certainly didn’t go down during the pandemic though.

Secondary market prices already coming down. Saw a few grey resellers lowering prices on inventory that has been on hand for a while.

Depends on what brands and demand on said brands. Pateks, AP will be hard to get msrp unless your on waitlist. For other decent brands, you can get at msrp or slightly below. Good luck.

Hello,

I just wanna say that my head feels better since I take lion's mane extract. I stopped zoning out, I have less narrations in my head simultaneously. I can actually do tasks on almost time. If someone wants to try, it's mandatory to take vitamin c with it. It's a life changer for me. I wanted to share it.

After waiting for several months for my SBGA413, I can finally join the Grand Seiko family! The dial is absolutely mesmerizing as it changes from white, silver, pink / salmon under different light. Thanks Watch fam for the recs to go with Timeless Luxury!

I really want a Sub, Batman, etc., but cannot afford one. Likely will not be able to reasonably afford one for several years, if not longer. Any other 🐠 in same position?

Considering a Yacht Master 40 for later this year - specifically the blue dial with red hands. I think it’s so handsome. My concern is in the videos and pictures I have seen, it’s so shiny.
