What watch do you wear?

Anyone know much about the re-sale value of Zenith's and IWC's?

Looking about, a Speedmaster seems to do fairly well, but Zenith can be a bit tricky.

Check on Watchfinder, they have second hand watches of a lot of the major brands.

They don't always show the retail price if the watch is out of production though so you may have to do a bit of digging to find that out to compare the resale value. I'm sure I read on here someone did try to sell their watch through Watchfinder but they offered considerably lower than 'market value' before adding their mark up.
 
I've also got this, but I never wear it - it was my Grandfather's retirement present:





Re: the comments about phones replacing watches.

I think a watch can have so many different levels of value to a person, whether that being from a practical, sentimental or nostalgic point of view. A phone is just a phone. Phones are merely functional - i think a watch is much more than that, however much of a contradiction that sounds.
 
Ouch, that sucks. I just dont get why Omega discount stuff as it destroys the second hand value. If it isnt worth the RRP, then just reduce it. My guess is that most people are buying omega's on 0% finance which only happens at full RRP. One of the reasons you dont see a rolex on 0%
 
I'm swaying over an Omega Seamaster - 2nd hand I might add. Residuals on these seem fairly decent, but is it worth just getting a brand new one for a few hundred more?

Thoughts please!

I'm looking for a steel strap watch around £250-300, for that price what features should I be looking for like radio controlled etc?

I suppose that totally depends on what sort of watch you are looking for?

At that price point, i'd be looking at something like a Steinhart.

I'd personally say so with how close the prices are these days but it's absolutely a personal choice as long as you're getting the absolute same model.
