But I think even with close to 5 figures burning hold in my pocket, I'd struggle to justify spending all of it on a Rolex marked up at ~40%, rather than half of it on a Tudor marked up at ~70%
You sound like my wife.... lolShe says exactly the same about buying a £5k Omega and losing 50% inside a few years and buying the Hulk Rolex at £10k and losing 50% inside 10 years.

Ultimately it's a purchase you make with your heart, not your head, I think..
So if you're dead set on a specific watch then I can't fault you!

The latest Noob and ARF replica clones are pretty close, if that’s your thing. Should be about £250-£275 inc. shipping from China. They’ll probably keep time as well as the original, the movement in them is pretty good.
It's scary just how good those copies are....A few years ago I had a Sub that was a brilliant replica, bought from Turkey (back room of a watch shop).. Seiko workings, did pretty well until two years after I got it the second hand dropped off.
Next to my brothers Genuine Sub the differences were barely there.
But now I've got a bit more cash to waste for my 50th it would have to be the real deal.

Do you really think Hulks will be changing hands at £5k in 10 years time? 
Here's a pic from the 2005-2006 Rolex price list, not sure if the LV existed then but the price of a no date Sub has more than doubled in 10 years, and the very premise of this thread is that pre-owned watched are more expensive than new ones, so on that logic the £7k LV will be a £14k LV in 10 years, so even if you buy at £9k you'll be £5k up not down.

Now you have given me a good argument to put to the wife!Here's a pic from the 2005-2006 Rolex price list, not sure if the LV existed then but the price of a no date Sub has more than doubled in 10 years, and the very premise of this thread is that pre-owned watched are more expensive than new ones, so on that logic the £7k LV will be a £14k LV in 10 years, so even if you buy at £9k you'll be £5k up not down.
The Kermit was around then and that is changing hands for ridiculous amounts of money now... Seen one today for £18k on a dealer website!

Blowers have just put up what looks like a mint, with box & papers, April 2018 ‘Hulk’ at £9,950.
Not sure I’d pay £3k over list for a sub though...
Found it and it’s in the sold section... Compared to everywhere else that’s a decent price for a 2018 unused one.. 🙄Not sure I’d pay £3k over list for a sub though...

Sold within an hour, according to their Instagram...
Doesn’t surprise me as the cheapest 2018 I’ve seen is just under £12k...OssettMark said:

You should be able to get the green Tudor at retail as opposed to £4750...nice piece. I have the GMT
Depends if it’s the Harrods addition, if it is then that’s about going rate.Watchfinder have both of these at similar prices.
There were rumours that more of these may be released through Harrods soon. No idea if true, or how many will be produced.

Check out Watchtimes on Instagram they have a new October 2018 arriving tomorrow ( no association just follow their news feed ) price though is another thing altogether !,,
Does anyone know anything about WatchtimeUK?I exchanged message with them last night about this watch, but I can't find too much about them on the internet. Given the value of product involved, I'd want to be 150% sure of what I am buying, where from and whom I'm dealing with.
Whilst I have a good relationship and purchasing history with my AD, I’m convinced it was my very recent purchase of a bi-metal GMTII that pushed me to the front and caused him to WhatsApp me when a SS one came in soon after (which I duly purchased), something he could have sold 20 times over.
Still waiting though for my call for a new Pepsi and Batman!
