Womens' Watches - Values?

[Doofus]

Do womens' watches hold their value like some mens' do?

If so, which ones?

[Maxym]

Generally no. The exception is Rolex, which don't lose a shedload. There may be some exceptions to the general rule but I'm not expert enough to know them.

That's kind of what I thought. Thanks

Not in the same way as the popular men’s, particularly the smaller ladies ones; just less demand I guess.

I guess men generally dont wear a lot of jewellery,apart from a watch. Judging by my wife & daughter they seem to spend a lot on Earrings & handbags ? So watches not that high on their "must have list"?

I actually suspected that it's because women like pretty things, whereas men like things that other men know to be expensive, rare and/or nerdy.

I bet there aren't any 'Show Us Your Earrings' threads on Mumsnet.

Hmm, when you say, "men dont like pretty things " surely your excluding their dearly beloved's....if not you're a braver man than I lol

I also think women care more about whether something is new or not.
