Auction premium and customs charges make so many of these examples uneconomic. Slightly surprised that you can source items, presumably for sale, in this kind of market. I guess you wait for a slack auction or speculate the future against an undervalued present. Always enjoy your insights.

Sometimes there’s a good deal to be had on a common watch, but not often. If you notice, all of the stuff we bid on are generally harder to come by. It always just depends.

I agree, I almost never buy at auction due to the buyers premium at 27%. I did sell at sotheby a few times before, and had a modern Rolex for this live auction as well. It did fetch more than what you can get a grey dealers in HK. I was surprised the RG Daytona on OF sold for way over market price. I’m sure th seller is happy with that result.

What exactly prevents Rolex from coming out and actually saying, “Yes, we did indeed produce the Blueberry bezels, or, No, we never produced these bezels.” I don’t understand how this can still be a question.

I think the collector's ocd drift is really playing against common sens: for ex the fat font on the explorer is rather hideous compared to a normal dial....One day people will wake up about these details which are just used to make prices explode artificially. No reasonnable watch person will buy a 50 year-old watch with a slow caliber at 20k in my opinion....At least not me

Hi Adam, when you say the price sold is all inclusive, does it include the buyer's premium too?

Yes. The prices I state are the final amount after auction premium, before shipping/customs/taxes.

When it comes to auction watches that are not exclusive such as the Daytonas at the start of your analysis which sell at higher prices in the auction, is it a condition thing or is someone trying to rig the market? I have to be honest and say that the swiss watch market lacks a lot of integrity and this is an understatement or me just being very kind.
@mentawatches4 ай бұрын
I think often it is people who feel more comfortable buying from an “established” major auction house and also can’t be bothered to shop around (I.e., have too much money or just not experienced enough buyers). A lot of people also get swept away while bidding and get carried away.

If they have the money to burn, who cares. It might hurt them or not. Either way they OVER pay regardless. Most of the time they bid on auctions just to flex. A few years ago some auction house listed a 36mm Tiffany OP for $36,000.00!!!! This was not the 39mm which was still in production at that time. So really, it should make you wonder if this is was allowed to hype up the market. That time it wasn't the secondary used watch market grey dealer market. Some sucker a-hole, wealthy or not, won that basic still in production watch for just above $38K.

It folks laundering money or Manufacturers hyping the game. Because Manufacturers had been on a winning role for a few years now. And they lots of funds, and can afford to buy over the price stated. And the suckered will believe that you can't go wrong in buying a vintage luxury watch. Very cunning scheme that was hatch many, many years ago. I was suckered in to buy a PP world timer. Brought 24 years ago, and now it's still the same price.
