Rolex Daytona Ref 16520
Since 1988 to 2000
Rolex Watchgret
Should we go for new Release Rolex or a Known Vintage Rolex
as an investment project!? I have no definitely answer on this… as both are one
of the ways to make your Rolex becoming an investment item. It depends on Which
watch you buy.
Imagine that when the Daytona Zenith 16520 was released in
1989, I was able to buy it with HK$29,500 at Chow Tak Fook.
If I had made up my mind to purchase say ten pieces my
investment with Lump sum HK$280,250 probably I get extra less 5% discount. Total investment cost $280,250.
Well, I believe I can sell it now at each $180,000 each now
with NOS BNIB for black, so I could made
a profit of $1,519,750!
However note that if I put that Money on real estate we, in
1989, I could still buy a house with down payment of $300,000 by now it may be
having a net profit $2,000,000!
Rolex Submariner Hulk Ref 116610LV
So What’s Next!?
The Rolex Submariner and “The Incredible Hulk” completed
their unlikely 48-year collision course in 2010. While the renowned durability
of each may have been their only common thread for a half-century, the
Baselworld 2010 appearance of the Rolex Submariner 116610 LV “Incredible Hulk”
forever bound the two icons from Rolex and Marvel Comics.
This one doesn’t require much preamble; it’s a big green
Rolex Submariner. Combine the “Super Case”/”Maxi Dial” of 2008’s 116619
Submariner with a green bezel and a green dial, and you’re one online forum
quip away from a gamma-burst of Rolex collector infatuation.
This Incredible Hulk is listed at $68,100 at Rolex AD in
Hong Kong. I think I have seen there is no stock for one in three month is one
of my known AD shop…. So you still can put your name on the waiting list.. but
don’t think that they will call you to collect the watch…
It is selling from Dealer to dealer from $60,000, 2014,
$63,000 in 2015, $66,000 in 2016, $69,000 March 2017, and astonishing $72,000
by May 2017… (Crazy price)
From this data we know two things, generally Rolex had
reduced the making of Sport watch across all lines beginning of this year and
particularly lesser is made on Submariner Hulk.
I speculate this will be discontinued by 2018, Let’s watch
Out. After the discontinuing, the price will up to more than $80,000 immediately. And probably $120,000 by 2024.

Hi
ReplyDeleteThis is purely personal preference,
I like steel as it give me some Weight as a watch on my wrist,
further more Steel is white and Titanium is grey, that is another factor,
furthermore Titanium is light but it get scratches that cannot be light polish...
So If I wear Titanium watch, I need to put extra care,,,
If for steel, it is a piece of iron basically, the material for tool watch, I really don't mind to wear it with normal care
If you like Titanium, it is your personal choice, take it as it is really lighter a lot.
DEAR SNOB
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU FOR YOUR NICE ANSWER
WHAT DO YOU MEAN STEEL IS WHITE AND TITANIUM IS GREY
I LIKE THE BRUSH FINISHED THAN POLISHED THAT IS WHY I ASK ABOUT
PAM564 TITANIUM PANARAI DONT MAKE IT IN STEEL WITH BRUSH FINISHED
THE 8 DAYS IN LUMINOR
AND I THOUGHT A LOT OF PANARAI BUYERS PREFER TITANIUM MAYBE I JUST
MADE IT UP
WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH AS I LEARNED AGAIN A LOT FROM YOU THINGS
THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND OUT

DEAR SNOB
ReplyDeleteAND DID YOU CHOOSE THE PAM510 ALSO BECAUSE OF THE MOVEMENT P.5001 INSTEAD
OF THE NOT IN-HOUSE MOVEMENT LIKE THE OP
BECAUSE THE PAM05 IS EXCAXTLY THE SAME EXCEPT FOR THE GLASS CASE BACK AND
MUCH CHEAPER ALTERNATIVELY
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE DIFFENCE IN THE MOVEMENT BESIDES THE 8DAYS POWER
RESERVE
AS ALWAYS THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP AND INSIGHTS
REALLY VERY HELPFUL AS NOT TO MAKE A MISTAKE IN A BIG INVESTMENT
THANK YOU AGAIN

I think there is consideration on not just in house movement or not,
ReplyDeleteas you may know some of the early Panerai has Rolex caliber that is one of the expensive Panerai. meaning that in house movement is not a Must.
To me the shape, size and style of Panerai is even more important than in house movement or not?

Again Titanium or steel is subjective, steel tends to look "White" and Titanium "greyish"
ReplyDeleteThe very first with made of entirely Titanium is Porsche Design Chronometer back in 1978. They are lovely.
The first fountain pen Parker T1 is made with entire Titanium back in 1970 as to celebrate the Apollo launched in the Moon. At that time using Titanium is a new attempt as it is tough to be cut and hence the manufacturing cost is higher, but not now.
I could say material cost for making a watch if not too complicated design is similar with steel or Titanium
Not necessary Titanium must be better material to make watch,
Take for example, all Rolex is still using steel as the material to make their watches, only some exceptional parts are made of Titanium for sake of light weight.
Such as the bottom plate of Deepsea, Well, Does not mean I don't like Titanium.
a brushed Titanium surfaces is really nice.
It is your personal choice, that is reason why watches are made in different material.
