For that you need to play with the R, P (not all), PP, AP and maybe VC brand.

Well if you keep thinking bout resale value when buying a watch then dear sir you are more business minded in this hobby than really "enjoying" the watch.

I too am guilty sometimes, but when i see a piece i really like, all reasoning goes away.

The other issue with Longines (of late) seems to be delivery of the watch, like the chrono. Look time from announcement to final delivery. The other issue is the production. Seems like all the watches (heritage collection) are 'limited edition' or 'limited production'. Look at the LLD and the WWW watch.

Usd10k+ for a gold watch with mono pusher chrono is ok lor

Longines watch price is more reasonable than most new brand

With its history, always use higher grade movement, useful complication, unique style...

R u sure u will loose less for the big 4 brand watches?

Which model r u comparing? Or jus base on general perception?
