Demand and supply of the watch I guess...

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.

Lately factor no.9 seems commanding the trend and value.

I've some ideas, but would like to have your opinions on such.

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?
Its always gonna be number 8.

no 1 to 6 for me. Plus the added factor of sentimental value or personal memories from wearing the watch. For example, I have an Omega Bond Seamaster, a watch that I wanted since I was 8 years old watching Pierce Brosnan's movie. Second watch is the Planet Ocean 8500, a technological advanced watch that I wanted to buy the first day I started working but could not afford it until 2 years later after I got promoted. Therefore it is the watch that marked that happy occasion and remains my favourite watch until today. So, milestones matter. I guess.
