HachiZenki I was beating around the buss on this one as I re read it. I was actually going to trade it for a DJ plus some cash, but I think you just solidified my answer!
Hi Jason, this resale if purchased pre-owned and sold privately is robust. Omega purchases new vs. Rolex... yes, Rolex always wins the resale stakes. But once a watch takes its initial depreciation hit, it usually finds a set point in there market and treads water. Naturally, you'll get less if you sell to a dealer, but the dealer (cards on the table: we're pre-owned dealer) will offer trade opportunities and consignment options that a private sale wouldn't (and more security- that's big). Ultimately, these SMP 300s are pretty solid watches at resale time. The more elaborate Planet Oceans and Aqua Terras seem to lose a bit more - as a percentage - in the drop from boutique to secondary markets. Best, Tim
How to adjust the links on this watch? Both ends are screw. Thanks
Beautiful.
Funny you out this up, almost pulled the trigger on this exact piece. What should I do? Hows the resale should I want to unload it in the future?
