my first rolex

[Supan]

But the resale value of Seiko is far away compared to the Rolex.

Just wondering why resale value would be of a major factor for owners.....

Or we should phrase it that Rolex has better branding / marketing worldwide ?

Its the material which Rolex used. The hair spring is of a high quality material in which the tension of the spring will remain constant over a long period of time without deformed. Hence keep a good timing. 10 year old Rolex watches still keep a pretty good timing.

Besides the Stainless Steel 904 used is of very high grade steel and high resistance to corrosion (Low grade steel do rust under corrosive environment). Nevertheless, rolex do buy back old rolex watches, therefore make the price of rolex marvellous.

do correct me for any mistakes

Are you trying to justify spending so much money on a watch ?

Correct, some preowned phased out JDM models are selling close to or even above their retail price.

interesting question.well, indeed, i am trying to justify the price of the watch

Patek Philippe is so expensive even their screws are very unique and yet the resale value is not as high. Why?there must be some reason....

[triton]

even for some rolex model, some models resale value is not that good also.

when you sell resale value, do you mean the price you sell to preown shop or preown shop selling price?

wow. that is quite technical. I am not shop owner hehe. what i can see is the preown shop selling price in term of % losses against the buying price of new watches.

Any idea wat is the resale value of daytona zenith 1998- 2000 year series?
