Once the watch is pre-owned, which do you think has a higher retention value and higher liquidity?

QLlector · 28 December 2020, 05:15 AM

Dont go for PM if these questions come to mind and cause a dilemma

Platinum and Gold timepieces are gorgeous and elegant on the wrist, just enjoy wearing it, don't worry about retention value and liquidity.

Totally depends on the model. For example a gold sub would be better than a gold day date. With that said, those two factors should not be part of the buying decision process IMHO

I would say that how timeless the watches are has a lot to do with this. Unless you know watches, you can't tell the difference between an 80's PM piece and a brand new one. Obviously i'm not talking about the dd40, but this applies to most others. They all lose value for the most part. You'll take less of a bath if you go preowned and you're worried about value retention. My money goes further in the way that if I get bored of the watch, I can move it and not lose much. I don't buy them hoping for appreciation though. That just doesn't happen a lot and the ones that you would buy for an investment are already trading way above retail anyway, so you're really not getting a lot of value in that way. Buy what you like and wear it.

Retention is for a pond...

When considering value retention, neither are good investments, but I would think that you would probably stand to lose more on a platinum piece given how high the initial cost is.

The better liquid asset is not a PM watch but the green piece of paper with a dead president.

Platinum is far more "niche" than gold, and only certain models are available in the metal. Bottom line is buy it to wear and enjoy. That is what they are intended for.

Ibtl.

If you need to ask then you should not be buying.

I was not looking at the two as investment purposes. I was curious on the answer.

Gold is enduring. Platinum comes and goes.
