Can’t comment on others purchases but if I wanted to step out of ALS I would be running a great profit on all the pieces - none of which were discounted although one was a discontinued used piece (paid over retail for this piece).  |
Wow that's great. I suppose they were all very hard to get or limited pieces? The ALS I am familiar with are all steeply discounted on the secondary.
ALS value depreciation is sort of a running joke with dealers and collectors, but I do not follow the brand closely. I always assumed there must be some pieces that held up really well. Zeitwerk? Datograph?
I am genuinely curious. Is this "ALS hold their value about as well as a used boat" I have always heard not accurate? It feels like as long as I have been collecting watches (almost 14 years) I have consistently heard two things wrt ALS. (1) They make some of the finest watches in the world bar none. (2) Good luck when you go to sell it.
Can you share some of the pieces that see strong demand? Appreciate it!
