Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste

[WRXtranceformed]

If you buy used/gray market I think it's reasonable to expect it will hold most of it's value, unless you damage it while you own it.

WUS seems to be the best forum, I'd also strongly recommend keeping an eye on reddit.com/r/watchexchange. A good amount of stuff trades on there pretty regularly, and a lot of people post WTBs. If you don't have a reddit acct I'm happy to help broker something.

I also forgot to mention this, I would not be afraid at all of buying a Rolex on the grey market, either new or used, from a trusted source like Jomashop or Bob's Watches. In fact it's probably the best route to go if you want to maintain that value like Joey said.

I love WUS, it's a wealth of knowledge, one of the biggest forums in the world and it has a really healthy sales section that I've sold almost a dozen things in. With that said, I am REALLY leery to buy a watch like a Rolex from someone on a forum. You would have to REALLY trust who you are doing business with, and they would have to have a lot of positive feedback selling high end watches and/or be a Rolex reseller / known luxury jewelry store. The fakes nowadays are just too good and the chance of getting scammed are still there even though WUS has done a good job putting countermeasures in place.

Just something to think about. It's a big purchase, you want to do it from a source you trust and frankly sometimes it's worth paying a little more on the grey market (or from a local stores that specializes in luxury watches) for the peace of mind.
