In Response To: Stunning watch... ()

Thanks, Rich.

It's interesting to look back, and see the models (of the vintage Heuers) that have appreciated over the last few years and those that have stayed flat.

Ten years ago, the Viceroys were $400, the Sifferts were $900 and any sort of Monaco might have been $1,500 to $2,500. The word "Transitional" did not exist, and this particular watch was just another Monaco.

Opinions vary re whether this price escalation is good or bad . . . I sell this one expecting that I may never buy another one. But that's OK, there are other watches winking at me, more than this one, so it was time for it to go to a new home. It feels OK playing with the "casino's money" . . . if this is a break-even hobby, that's OK too.
