What Watch and Why?

[seadweller]

Seems that all watches have a retail and actual buy prices.
Then there is the 2nd hand/pre owned market prices followed by collectible/bnib prices.

What watch (amongst those i listed) is something than can hold its resale price stead in the pre-owned market?
And have the least amount of depreciation even if end up with no box/papers
(btw imho i think wearing the timepiece is crucial to truly enjoying its build/mechanics and splendour)

Rate them in order
1) Rolex
2) Omega
3) Breitling
4) ????
5)

**List a maximum of 5 to avoid confusion please
And watches that retail under S$20K

Panerai is top now for resale value. Market is too hot.

The pcs are swept off the net as fast as sellers can put up.

2. ROLEX
3. ROLEX
4. ROLEX
5. ROLEX

Panerai, then Rolex. Because of demand and supply issues

I can only think of 3 and I second the 3 brands that Psee cited.. But among the 3, I would say Rolex comes out top. Cos Rolex has the strongest brand name that had sustained a market for its watches over decades. if the trends over the years are any indication, certain models especially those in its sports line-up are most likely to appreciate in its value overtime (by overtime, I mean perhaps over many years ).
