Yes hello I have $2,500 I'm looking to invest in a watch. I would like to buy something and resell it for more? Is there any advice you could give me?

Thank you
Clay

Re: Investing in a watch?

Clay, my advise would be to buy a watch for your own personal enjoyment and when the time comes to get get ride of your watch, consider trading up. The mid-to-high end watch market does not hold much profit unless you are an authorized dealer. There are some good finds for what your looking to spend, but turning them for a quick profit is another thing altogether. IMHO

I just can't believe this is a serious question. You want to buy a watch to flip and don't know what to buy. Maybe you should spend some time researching popular models and prices instead asking for us to do that work for you.

:-d Great way to get burned.

sounds like the best thing to do would be to invest the $2500 into something you know a bit more about.
there is no determinate figure of money you can make on any given watch.
the market is what drives prices.
its like buying stocks... its all a gamble.
now, for us watch nuts, we do have a hand up cuz we have likely cycled thru quite
a few pieces so at least have a better idea as to what will at least not lose a lot
of money.
my suggestion is if you really want to buy a watch, do your 'own' research...
that way, if you don't get the payout that you so desire, it is only your own fault
and you can't put the blame on someone else.
good luck in whatever you decide.
;-)

you can't buy a watch for 2500.00 then sell it to turn a profit. thats a rare occurance at best. the only time I did was with a marathon csar.

Welcome to Watchuseek.

Moved your post to the right forum. Inquiries wasn´t made for that kind of questions.

what you need is a unique piece crafted by a master watchmaker so you can pretty much decide what resale will be... now let's see, for 2500...? nope!

Take 250.000 and buy a Patek and sell it for 300.000 some years later, read the Antiquorum stats.

If you want to make money, dont buy watches.
