the resale price perhaps? e.g. daytona
collectibles or not? e.g. red sub
historical value? e.g. 5513 or 1016?

aesthetics - which one sings to you
function - do you need gmt/dual time?
size - boy size/big chunky one like deepsea/regular 40mm?

Whether it looks good on my relatively slim wrists ...

The main considerations (for me) will be if the watch is one that I like aesthetically (no. 1), and can afford (no. 2).

Agree with ocean....no nid care bout resell value IMO .....If u plan on reselling might as well don't buy the watch liao

resale is a bonus on things like watches; because dont forget; taste is very personal. what i like; you may not like and vice versa. as for the mentality. the beauty of a mechanical watch.

Right on! Appreciating the beauty, quality, engineering and architecture of the fine timepieces...
