The Hour Glass

[dreamybear]

It did take me a long time to understand the luxury products sector as someone who is not used to visiting high end boutiques to buy lux items, although I do admit simply being inside sparks joy.   There is simply too little stocks relative to the no. of rich people/willing buyers in the whole world.

I do appreciate the Rolex oyster perpetual but my first thought would be to visit pre-owned shops to buy a used one(but with the Rolex card). The bonus would be if the children also like the model then can pass to them in the future haha. While wearing one, rarely anyone would ask whether you bought it first hand or not.

I think, buying a brand new piece from the boutique, is more for the experience and the pleasant memory.

So now there is this Subdial50 index which tracks global market prices for the 50 most traded luxury watches by value. (first article below)
