Investing in a luxury watches like a Rolex be an exciting but intricate financial decision. The value of these watches can appreciate over time, making them potential assets. However, maintenance costs and depreciation should be considered.
Absolutely, It's not just about owning a beautiful watch but also understanding the market trends. Consulting a watch investment specialist or a financial advisor with expertise in alternative investments can help navigate the complexities and ensure you make informed decisions.
No doubt being financially free and able to afford these luxuries cannot be overemphasized, making smart plans and setting up diversified investment portfolios is quite essential.
I've been consulting with Eric Paul Elmer.He specialize in high-end vehicle investments and have provided me with valuable insights into market trends, potential appreciation, and even tips on maintenance to preserve the watch’s value.
My regular salesperson at my AD sold one of a diamond Sky-Dweller piece with meteorite dial on Oysterflex. He said apparently 5 made and it was invitation only. He sent me a wrist shot from before the customer collected it. Stunning piece.
I remember when platinum baguette Daytona’s and even Rainbow Daytona’s were in the windows collecting dust ! Baguette Platinum Daytonas were selling for $50-60K on the grey market . RG Olive DD40 was selling for $28-30k grey market Hulks were selling for $4-6K max WG smurfs were selling for $18-22k John Mayer Green Daytonas were selling for 25-29k Hell a Stainless AP RO Double balance wheel skeleton was selling for $50-60k also 😂 Great times
Yes I have been allocated an off catalog Daytona. Very difficult. I have a tremendous history with my AD with jewelry as well as watches. Ya gotta give to get.
I am planning to add a Yachtmaster 42 in white gold for my next reward watch. I have seen the diamond bezel YM42 and it is stunning. I'm not normally a precious stones kind of guy, but wow! No idea where/when I would wear it (except around the house) given that is certain to attract a great deal of attention, possible of the wrong type. I think I might draw the line at the standard YM, but... I was in Japan earlier this year. So many second-hand watch shops. I went into one of the local chains in the Ginza area and there, quietly minding its business, was a Rainbow Daytona. Stunning piece. Gotta' love Japan too. If that watch had been on display almost anywhere else in the world, there would have been well-armed burly man standing next to it. In Japan, it was sitting amongst its cheaper brethren, behind a thin layer of glass. I'm heading back to Japan in the fall and if it is still there, I think I will ask to try it on. I'll post it on my IG and wait for the comments. :p
yes i know many people who have bought sevral off catalogue watches like the arabic daytona with baugette bezel and arabic day date with olive dial and many more brands like ap, f.p.journe, patek phillipe .......
I wonder what an all ceramic rolex would look like. Or one with a full sapphire case. I bet within the next 20years that will happen. Nice video mate. 🍻
Those watches are available to customers whom can easily afford them and aren’t flippers trying to make a quick buck. A decade ago during my trip to Barcelona a chain of AD’s carried every gem incrusted Rolex imaginable in their display cases readily accessible to everyone. Times have changed, but I’m certain AD vaults are still full of these watches awaiting serious buyers. However the market for these watches is small and a lot of gray dealers don’t have the necessary liquidity to afford them nor the type of clientele to move them.

Perhaps i should seek advice from a specialist in luxury car investments. Do you have any recommendations?

I know someone who was a ROLEX GMT denham really sick watch
When people are saying #mamacoo is a better option,I very much agree!
I will ask my AD about that
For Off Catalogue you’ll need about a $1M+ spend history , depending on city it’s more like $2.5-5M+ spend history
In my experience this simply isn’t true
What isn’t true ? That they have an off catalogue? 😂
@@floridaboybrandon954 about the so called 'vetting' and that Rolex hq have to approve, its nonsense
