They overproduce their watches and sell them with high discount to their employees (JLC/IWC/VC are all impacted). If you buy it as an investment / with the idea of re-selling it in the future, I don't think it will hold its value well.
It’s incredible to think that there are people into watches now have only ever made money in the hobby and there is now an expectation that if you’re buying a luxury watch you should be able to sell it for more than or only slightly less than what you paid. If you compare it to cars, diamonds, handbags, almost anything else I can think of there is not the same expectation apart from maybe houses.

people dont like watches, they like status and money

I bought my overseas for £8K. There’s no way I’d have forked out the £20K list price for it.

I got it “valued” by watch finder for sale and the cheeky bastards offered £3.6k for it.

It’s scary how low they value stuff and how much stock they still churn through

recently? Not a bad price for a 47040.
£3.6k offer is taking the piss, how they have the cheek to offer that I have no idea.

Wouldn't say that the first directly owned and operated GS boutique not being able to change a bracelet was good service tbh. Did they say why?
