thans ZJ - resale value sometimes a myth
Feb 24, 2013,08:16 AM
Thanks ZJ!
I think that sometimes resale value is a bit of a myth and every buyer should handle it with care. Of course there are more experienced collectors with the capacity to "move" pieces in and out of the collection easily - with the skill and good eye to buy what will re-sell well - but I think that with the exception of few models and truly rare, mint kept ones you will not be able to resell at the price you really want. This might be even more true for simple patek like the ellipse. I feel that in general a Patek will hold the value better mostly because of the limited availability and the clear policy of little/no discounts in the distribution. I think that other brands are trying to achieve the same by opening their own boutiques and control the distribution.
