Re: Omega Resale Value

In Response To: Re: Omega Resale Value ()

I believe John is absolutely correct here. The MSRP on a Bond Seamaster 2531.80 is $2,150 (I believe) but you can easily pick one up for between $1,400 & $1,700. I'm quite certain someone would be happy to pay $1,200 for a nine month old Bond. While it looks like the watch has lost almost half it's value it has actually retained 80% of what the original buyer paid.
I don't think it has much to do with what Georges said. Most people don't know, or care, that Omega is not a manufacturer anymore. I don't, and I'm tired of reading about it. Furthermore, I think vintage Omegas have a high resale value simply because they're not produced anymore.
