Modern Grand Seikos long term resale value?

[bradu-yyc]

I recently sold my spring drive SBGA-439 for about $300 less than I paid for it. However I got it at 25% off retail and was lucky enough to find someone locally that really wanted a spring drive GS, otherwise I'd have probably lost about $1000 as that was the next best offer I had received. Nice watches, cool movement but uninspiring to wear, too top heavy for my taste, and having no micro adjust on the bracelet of a $6000+ watch is/was a big miss as well.
