Market is slow

Patek and Rolex are easiest to sell. But less of a bargain there.

I'm a serial watch flipper. I find that the market is still alright- especially if you were putting out watches wanted by the mass market like the "current in-thing" Turtles of various guises. When it came to watches higher up the food chain, Rollies and Omegas seemed to command faster responds, although potential buyers these days seemed to offer swap plus trade-up, or ask for additional discounts. But the interests for Rollies were much higher, especially after the Jan price increase. And anyway, holding Rollies could only see its RRP prices going north-wards with every passing year; so if you were not in a hurry to sell, you would eventually get your asking price.

Bought few vintage Rollie lately, I can tell the impact of Rollie Jan price increase has taken a toll in the preowned piece price. Even the vintage piece price increases a lot.
To certain special vintage Rollie, ppl still snatch them up quickly even in slow market.

Vintage Rolex is holds good value
Just grab one few days ago

Depends on the watch and the price.

High demand pieces can sell very fast.

I seen in SG ceramic Daytona sell for over retail for 23k. That's black dial.

For second hand also certain pieces easy sell.

Agree

If you price it right, it will sell. Problem is, there are lots of low ballers around. Can't stand them

I personally don't think this is true.

If you want a watch, you'll get it immediately. If the watch looks good and the specifications suits your needs, you WILL get it.

We have to also remember that there are many more affordable watches in the market.

For example, females can opt for Hush Puppies Timepieces if they want something classy. The men can opt for CAT (Catterpillar) watches for something more outdoorsy.

At the end of the day, it's really up to the person. It is up to how they feel and because of that, I think that watches will never go out of style.

Can't agree with you more...loads of people just asking. Some may even pretend that they are "interested". You ask them what they are willing to offer, and they will ask you for "best price". You give them what you deem is the best price, and they will say..."hhmmm interesting, quite close to but not what I'm willing to pay". LOL...really with the exception of watches from big brands whom some will pay a good price for, the rest are just sitting there waiting to be sold unless offered at pasar malam prices.

I reply politely to low ballers. Never once sold a piece at a low balled price yet. Keep on tryin' lowballies!

It is a willing seller, willing buyer situation when you post something for sale. Don't need to get overly worked up by lowballers.  Just tell them no. I have also seen sellers asking for ridiculous prices for their used watches and get pissed when someone offers them the real market price.

LOL, I have a watch blog and you should see some of those offers that I received from time to time. A while ago, some chap offered to buy a watch in my collection, which I had not wanted to flip as yet (yes, I am a serial watch flipper  ); and said that he was willing to buy more than the price I bought so I could get a decent profit. So I asked him what was his intended price, but he was shifty. When I showed him the market price of the watch as per retailer's website, he then countered to say that he could get it so much cheaper at pre-owned grey retailers (without warranty) and shied away. So much for offering me more than the price that I bought    You would meet some low-ballers from time to time; but having flipped almost 60 watches todate, I dare say that there are many watch enthusiast gentlemen too
