SeaDweller to LV - financial suicide?
Discussion
Guys,
You may recall my thread a while back about depreciation-resistant Rolex.
I bought a late, unworn, 2007 SD as it seemed like the right decision- one made with the head.
Unfortunately, the heart didn't- and still doesn't- agree; I really want another LV to replace the one I had to sell.
The SD just doesn't feel 'special' in the way that the LV did- maybe because the LV was my first Rolex and I really didn't want to sell it??
The watch is a 'wearer'- I look after them real well, but they're not kept in a safe and polished.
Am I making any sense?

I think I understand the OPs view. I was in a Jewellery store in London trying on a watch. I had wanted one for some time but on trying it on realized that it wasn't quite right for me.
Jeweller then says that sometimes one must compromise. I simply told him he was in the wrong business - Jewellery and watches are not about compromise - they are about desires, aspirations. They express who we are - and thus to compromise in their selection is to compromise oneself.
He didn't understand. He didn't make a sale either.

hmmmm, i don't think I'd every buy a watch as an investment. Buy what you like to wear.
For a watch to achieve its maximum investment potential, it should stay in its original wrapping and never be worn. As an enthusiast, I only buy watches that I wish to own and wear. However, I have learnt from previous experience that a timepiece that appeals to me in a photograph does not always translate to suiting me when it is on my wrist.
My advice is buy what you really want to own but try it on first before you commit to purchase.
If you find your perfect watch then the concept of future value becomes redundant because why would you want to part with it?
RRH,
You will always get your money back on an original model seadweller, they are so popular and with the last batch just having come out....... It's my opinion you will not struggle to get your money back from your piece so long as you got a reasonible deal....... If you look around there are no Seadwellers anywhere for less than 3k whatever age they are. some new ones are over 4k. If these watches dont wear well, then there is no chance else where.
