16750 worth this price?

which is why purchasing the watch isnt so much about buying what you love; to researching past prices, and trying it on to make sure its the one that you want.

I guess many will have story of losses when flipping watches.
From few hundreds to thousands.

I learned some lessons too. Still learning. Have to treat it as depreciation and owning cost.
For me max is 2k. Hefty for a small worker like me. That why need to be very cautious before shooting.

wow...2.3k for the lesson for vintage rolex????wow....scary....i feel for you man....that is y when comes to vintage rolex...i always very particular about the tiny details before i buy.....

Becoz i have shallow pockets...n even more meagre watch funds....i cannot afford too many expensive lessons...

Now the IWC is in my safe...good to have something to remind me that i was young,rash and dumb once...hahahahaha

[KuchingKu]

Wow Bro Kuchingku...u oso have this kind of hard lesson in life oso ar..hehehe

For me the watch is unflippable as it remind me to be always less rash and be more level headed when comes to watches...hehehe..

I rather get it off and not feel sad looking at it. I got bigger lessons.

Bought a 5513 from a reputable collector. Agreed price which is high and met up. Checked watch and found a touch up spot on the dial. Said ok and took it. No watch repairman can undo it. A new dial cost us$1400 to replace. In the end, traded the watch to an overseas dealer who will change the dial and resell. Fees for my inexperience? S$2300.

Pre-owned....full set....overseas AD....paid bnib price for a pre-owned piece...u can roughly know how i paid for...

Take it easy. It happened to me more than once.

Best example. Bought 16610LV on a Friday....decided on Saturday I prefer the flat 4 version. Sold my LV on Monday and lost $400. How many times did I wear the watch? Once!

LOL, thanks all for the kind advise. I guess I will just take it as a lesson learnt.

Afterall I am not the only 1 been carrot after reading all yuor replies. Anyway, I like the watch. I find the blue dial so elegant. Thanks every1.

My IWC big pilot 5004 is a watch that i will not sell nor wear at all...WHY...

Everytime i see the watch,it reminds me to be more prudent and do more research for my next watch purchase instead of just trigger happy and just wacked for the thrill of a spanking new watch....

Paid a high premium for this piece a few years back when i was sucked into the hype of going into watches that are the rage of the season....that is why i m not really into the current hype or brand of the year or most popular brands,models n 'must-have' models.....

Hence...now i take a long time to mull over watch purchases....

you will love the watch that you paid a premium over now. much like that apartment that you have been eyeing over the last few months.

let bygones be bygones, and just enjoy the watch.

i almost got taken for a ride on a daytona recently (until my emotions kicked out of gear and my brain kicked into gear). sometimes you buy at good price; other times you will pay a premium.
