So let's say if I sold my PM watch after 1 year (it's still under warranty), which I bought brand new from a trusted dealer (meaning I got a v good price). Percentage wise how much should/would I end up loosing? Whats a good range?

Old Expat Beast · 23 April 2015, 09:08 AM

If sold privately, maybe a 15-20% loss. If sold to a dealer, then 35-40%.

REFZ · 23 April 2015, 09:13 AM

Depends on things like model, signs of wear and how you want to sell it.

But why should you sell your PM watch after 1 year?

tkerrmd · 23 April 2015, 09:53 AM

At least 30%

Onikage · 23 April 2015, 09:58 AM

Depends on many factors but from new I'd expect a huge loss. 25-30%+. They are harder to sell for obvious reasons.

RXAPPP · 23 April 2015, 10:03 AM

In the last 2 months I bought and sold a PM Rolex from a trusted seller on TRF then traded it against another high end watch with a 13% depreciatory hit over exactly one year of ownership. That said I bought it from the trusted seller BNIB on a list less 24% basis

AK797 · 23 April 2015, 10:06 AM

If you bought saving 25-30% off retail, then you shouldn't lose much more than 10-15% selling now.

GTC · 23 April 2015, 10:29 AM

. . . and it is going to uniquely depend this year on what Apple does to the market. Yeah yeah I know, but it actually may have an effect.

Danny83 · 23 April 2015, 10:32 AM

15 percent I have lost on 116718,skydweller 25percent.

crowncollection · 23 April 2015, 10:58 AM

at lest 20% more if you sell to a dealer, 30-40% is my guess

watchwatcher · 23 April 2015, 11:01 AM

I wouldn't let these kind of thoughts dominate your buying experience...it's a great watch that you are going to absolutely love. Buy right and you'll be fine.

Agreed...

Sammk · 23 April 2015, 04:41 PM

I'm trying to flip one one PM Rolex and get a brand new different PM Rolex

Sammk · 23 April 2015, 04:43 PM

Why more on the skydweller?

Have you looked at prices I'm the for sale forum on (I assume) day dates? It should give you a ball park on how much they are going for...

Sammk · 23 April 2015, 09:35 PM

I have almost the same dynamics. Did you sell it directly to a consumer or a dealer?

PM rolex is bad w depreciation, SS is the way to go if you wanna take less depreciation hit. Scrap value of precious metal vs mark up is not in your favour when buying PM rolex.

Danny83 · 23 April 2015, 09:41 PM

I have no clue, market I guess It seemed as a few sellers were not interested in purchasing the skydweller.

Consumer should be 10% or less, dealer over, depends on condition and your relationship obviously.

kilyung · 23 April 2015, 10:10 PM

If you buy right? 0%.

If I had a dollar for every time a similar prediction was made...

brandrea · 23 April 2015, 10:57 PM

I can't imagine you'd lose much at all if you negotiate a good price to begin with. Perhaps 10% at most. Obviously it's more difficult to sell PM and the less popular the model, the more difficult / longer it may take to sell.

Good luck

landroverking · 23 April 2015, 11:04 PM

Depends on the model, but in general terms up to 40%.
