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.

What’s going on FB friends,

I am contemplating a move to industry working at a VC, Tax Director role east coast. Looks like it will be primarily overseeing compliance with some aspect of advising on structures etc. There is another tax reporting head above me.

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.

Any thoughts?

Chrono24 seems to have couple years older ones for around 8-10k in very good/with papers, so not sure if I should keep shopping around
