Yes absolutely.
The waiting time for a new one is about 3-5 years so you will be able to sell it for profit.

If it's 'your' AD selling it to you it might ruin your reputation with them or place on the list for other watches. People on TZ-UK reporting some Rolex dealers refusing to release full paperwork or keep stickers on to stop items being flipped…

I heard that too. To be honest, if I was spending over £10k on a watch and the AD said he was keeping some of the paper work I'd go nuts. Not because I'd be looking to flip the watch but because of the amount of money you are looking to spend.

Such a accountants way of a thinking!
Can imagine when he buys a car/house his first thought is residuals.

Mr X - Of course I do
Always thought I wanted that watch but kind of left me unimpressed, would rather buy a complication by them from a little bit more. They also have a world timer and other complications for sale which kind of a surprised me.

I'm also looking to add the following at some point..
IWC Ingenieur
Panerai PAM00422
Rolex no-date Sub
The 422 is a connoisseurs choice no doubt, however the 423 is also one of the best but for the minimilast look the 557 is hard to beat.

The PAM00422 does look v nice. Wonder if they have them at Heathrow?

A Patek is hardly a watch that people without a clue buy, it has strong heritage. Fair enough the design might not be to your taste but it definitely can't be described as a timepiece for those that don't know better.

Fucking hypocrite. The only guy on here to actively boast about owning a Rolex, the ultimate nouveau rich status brand, talking shit about posing rich cunts. Stay in your ugly 90s Japanese streetwear lane, you don't know what you're talking about.

Yes it is. Everyone knows it's the watch thats "more expensive than Rolex" ie it's purely a status symbol for a lot of new rich.
I agree with this to an extent. But primarily amongst the watch community. The majority of the population have never heard of Patek and Rolex is the brand which is most synonymous with wealth and luxury. However, as Patek becomes more "known" there is an increasing trend of the new rich (obviously along with actual true watch lovers) who are gravitating towards Patek as it is viewed as one upping the Rolex owners. I saw this quite a but when I was in Dubai.
Hardly a watch bought by people that don't have a clue then is it! Let's face it every other cunt has a rolex these days, you don't have to be wealthy to own one and therefore those that are wealthy will go for something different that sets them apart, but don't agree that they are clueless at all.
