  1. Buy a new $20K gen full gold Rolex and you're lucky to get $6K back after 10 years.

    Buy a gen (older) stainless steel GMT or Submariner now and you will always get your money back (esp. if you mercifully forget the inflation).

    Buy a $300 rep now and trash it when it breaks after 10 years. Who cares... it's just $300.

     

    That's basically what the rep game is about. Enjoy the forgeries of expensive brands for pocket money. Why would anyone stress about "losing value" for something that's so cheap in the first place?

  2. Good thread idea.

     

    A watch like Freddy's white dial GMT or Ubi's vintage hardcore Daytona builds are valuable... and WILL be valuable.

     

    But something like 16610 franken... I doubt it. It's too comtemporary and common watch.

     

    The last gen steel sports sapphire models will increase their value for sure... and already have. The old designs are much more desirable for many... like me for example. Most new Rollies are only good if you want to know what time it is in Gayville.

  3. Our 16610's have become so good that it's almost impossible to tell them from the gen anymore. Even the SELs are great these days.

     

    I would buy the gen but my rep is simply too good. That's a nice problem to have.
