Sea Dweller will continue to be produced

[SeaRolex]

This is indeed an interesting phenomemom.

It seems that there are many who may not like a particular Rolex model when it was still in production. But once the said model becomes discontinued, the same group of people who weren't interested suddenly start buying up and proclaiming the model to be the quinessential Rolex icon etc etc...must have. I guess the common objective is to make money by flipping the watches.

There are MANY 16710s out there, maybe not so much in Singapore but definitely a lot out there. I would imagine that there are many 16600s are out there too. These 2 models have been in production for almost 15-20 years! So I guess one can slowly take their time to find a nice young piece, maybe F, D Z or M series, with box/papers, the whole works.

My 2 cents

Well, for me, i will still wear my watch for long time.. not flipping watches.. My intention of asking this question is to tell myself that at least this watch won't depreciate the moment i got it ....

I think the overall production of SD in the past was relatively low when compared with Sub date and Sub N/D. I guess it is because SD has a much higher list price and similar look of the watches. There was a period when there is a waiting list for SD. I cannot guarantee a profit for SD if it is discontinued but I am sure it will hold its value forever!

hahaha.. it does matter to me... i simply love this watch..

Yes, you are right! All brand new watches will depreciate once you buy it but I think Rolex and PP are the only brands that can recover its value even it is worn for years...

If you don't want your watch to depreciate too much or to avoid depreciation, go and get a second hand watch (at the right price). For Rolex (sport models) and PP (some models) will not depreciate, trust me...

all consumer goods will depreciate the moment you get it, even if you bought that new TV on sale at 30% off, you will still lose money.

for me, DON'T think of making money on consumer goods, unless you buying used (at proper prices).

Then fear not because retail prices keep rising due to inflation and this brings up the second hand market as well, esp for sport models like the SD.

I think this theory does not apply to Patek 5970 if you can get a new one from your AD...
