Watches are such a soulless hobby and for the most deluded suckers for marketing. The swiss must be laughing their ass off every day that people actually think they become SEAMASTER PROFESSIONAL if they strap on their outdated timekeeping device.

No watchfag. Your overpriced jewelry isn't some magical totem that encapsulates your persona. Buying watches is not a hobby and it doesn't bring any sort of benefit to the world.

>value for money

just buy a cheap $10 casio quartz or a gshock and never look at watches again

everything else is actually unneeded and more for autism and looks and to flex on other people

I believe you did not get my point, so I will try and be clearer.
There are people out there who buy and sell watches just as Warren Buffet sells stocks.
What I wanted to know if there are any people like that in here?

>>15330408
yes and there is a watch thread

but its not worth it unless you have lots of money and also like (rolex) watches, or you can do the gshock artificial scarcity limited edition bullshit

for the money u might* earn playing with watches you might as well just buy stocks instead

>>15330383
it is hard because there are more watches than stocks, and you have to know the movement details and versions throughout the years along with any cool facts that increase trade value.
Most collectors (not jewelers, all of whom are thieves) focus on a specific line... seamasters, daytonas or movements.

The Accutron Bulova is so aesthetic. Also >>>/wt/

Why does buying a nice watch have to be a hobby? I just appreciate beauty and clever engineering.

I made a few K Euros with buying/selling Watches. I currently have about 100 Watches in my possession, cheap, defect, expensive, digital, handwound, automatic...

How do you evaluate a watch when you buy one?

money laundering

Ask your self will this watch end up in a movie and get a swell of normie interest

>>15330741
Watch usually end up in movies before they are released to the public so that's a rabbit hunt.

>>15330681
How does that makes sense?Expand

>>15330383
Some Rolex stainless steel sports models are good value for money as they'll actually appreciate in future. Everything else will depreciate, and fast. Watches are not a sound investment.

>>15330383
If anyone try's to sell you a watch based on heritage there bullshiting you.

Buy something unique from a major auction house. Its cheaper than you think. The provenance will help a lot when you try to sell it. Buy what you like as well. That's my advice.

>>15330383
Maybe try the fucking perpetual watch thread next time ducking cunt.

>>15330387
Nothing sadder than listening to a watch enthusiast talk about his watch's pedigree and heritage. It WeNt To ThE mOoN

>>15331900
or a fudd talking about his "two worlds wars" 1911, or a guy talking about how his classic car won x race/was driven by y celebrity in the old days, or literally anyone with a collecting hobby talking about anything

>>15330672

try to get a picture of what brands, Models, different Techniques exist.
compare Prices on Ebay and those of Retailers.
Go to Flea Markets...
start small, buy cheapos...
every collector makes mistakes in the Beginning, don't let this discourage you.
it's a steady learning Process...
