hey Bros, between Brand new Sea-Dweller (eg saw the selling thread $8K) , Brand new GMT IIC and brand new submariner. which one will u go for and why?

and say if u bought the SD for $8K, will the price apprieciate or will drop? say in 5 years time? sorry if it's a noob question.. Will u go for preowned.. any diff between preown SD say 2000-2006 series compared to the M series?

Is it worth to go for preowned SD 2000-2006? why?

And is it worth to go for GMTIIC?

I will have to "3rd" that. IMHO, you should do this for the pleasure of it.

ouch...ouch...ouch.. kena hump tump... ok okie.. just wanted to convince myself that the SD or Sub will not depreiciate too much in years to come..

please dont take my post too seriously, i just trying to prove a point across. Some people wear rolex can make money, some people lose money like crazy.

one fellow watch collector whom i bought my omega watch from him a few yrs back.
I paid A$90 for it, at the time, i paid for it myself since my mother got so mad when she hear about me buying watch , so i had to go and find way to finance, then i buy, after wearing 6mths, i go and sell on ebay, and sell for A$135, but the fella chickened out, so i got desperate and sell to pawnshop hoping they offer me something , but no such luck, so i went off to my omega agent, and they said try again on ebay, so i tried, and it bid all the way up to about A$250. i was so happy and sold it.

I was purely lucky that i make money on this watch, and somemore a nice service and a new plexi crystal wouldn't go astray in giving that piece a new lease of life.

so far, my TT baby, i try and sell but not enough to entice me to let go. But i hope that i have the year to play and heopfully can let go. If i make a loss, then too bad, but if my piece appreciates then i have no worries and just enjoy it. Eitherway way, i have prepared myself that this is not an investment piece.

Your Qs very difficult to answer... let me take a peek at my crystal ball first ...

How to compare when u put different types of watches together? Prices are also different.

That said, the SD has been discontinued and it does have quite some fans. I guess u cant go wrong with an SD as long as u dont end up paying an exhorbitant price for one. Likewise for the sub. GMT IIc is a different watch altogether. Get one that 'sings' to u.

Submariner has been an evergreen... prices always there....SD just went up alot...

We never know if it will appreciate or depreciate though...just try your luck. Go for 1 u like...buy preowned...enjoy the watch...that's all I can say

how abt preowned SD (2000 - 2006) what is the price diff?

Worth buying new SD?

Depends on condition,seller,box and papers. I think a few hundred diff...

Brand new...well if u ask me...all brand new not worth it coz when u sell u lose money

[sys12345]

Of course, there are exceptions like the lucky dude who paid US$6100 for a BNIB 116710LN GMT IIc at Heathrow airport London (tax free). Really cant see how u can lose money on this one though.

Not to mention the lucky minority who got hold of a M series 16710 before the price rise!!!
