What are the intrinsic values that makes a watch attractive to you?
1 ) Complications
2 ) Accuracy
3 ) New technology
4 ) In-house movement
5 ) Brand history
6 ) Personal love towards the watch / Wrist time
7 ) Durability and toughness
8 ) Market demand and supply
9 ) Marketing / "Star Value"
If we're talking about monetary value, the common response looks like something below
Features + History + Marketing --> Demand/Supply --> Value of watch
The final push to close the deal is the love towards the watch!
Anything else?

How about durability & toughness?
Post by: asimo on January 17, 2017, 06:24:40 PM
many highly priced watches are not rugged or durable 8) and probably not in working condition ;D

Value of the watch depends on demand & supply . Period.

In this case I'm referring not just to the dollar value, but its intrinsic value that appeals to you, or, that makes it "speak" to you

1 to 5 for a common pricing benchmark. 6 for pure value

Nop not jewelry
U can check out the auction records ... some watches fetch value (even though is not working) can be due to rarity , historical eg used by Kings, presidents, used in battle, etc etc , complications marvel , gems/precious metals, etc

Is quite personal.. depends on your taste n lifestyles/image .. for me, I prefer sports watches (no dress watches).. preferable with measurements bezel ... not so much on complications

OMEGA used by many UK royal but still not fetching very high price though. ;)

Brand name is likely the strongest factor. Let's be real, the majority of people don't/are not interested in knowing about movements, history etc. All they want is a pretty watch that will show off their status.

A couple of other additional factors I consider are
Yearly production volume, and by extension
Number of Outlets/SC's
As nice as it would be to own a limited production piece (read low/exclusive brand volume), unless you hail from La Chaux-de-Fonds, or indeed have a grandfather that's a master watchmaker (which would invariably invalidate any warranty!), come service interval, or, dare I say, mechanical failure, I envisage a sizable headache in the making.
A large, yearly production rate, while not screaming of exclusivity, usually equates to easy access to the, hopefully efficient, service/repair network of the brand. And besides a lot of them still produce exclusive pieces should you desire something other than the 'norm'

the BLNR may very well be a classic example of this. It may be the very few watches which preowned value is catching up to the new value as supply is limited and demand is plenty.
