1, watches must be mechanical to preserve their value. Quartz watches and electronic watches do not have the function of newspapers.
It must be a world-famous watch. The bigger the brand, the more valuable it is, such as Rolex, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin.
3. Things are rare, limited edition watches, commemorative watches, etc. Famous watches with less output have good function of maintaining and increasing value and can be used as investment or collection objects.
4, with a unique shape, can make people unforgettable, for collectors, very attractive.
In a word, the most important thing of today's watches is collection, preservation and appreciation. For collectors, rare quantity, unique shape and commemorative significance are important factors to preserve and increase value.
As for famous watches, people are discussing the question of appreciation or preservation every day. Clockwork fish thinks that everything is not absolute, just like buying a house. Everyone is talking about appreciation. After a few years, the economic situation reversed greatly and it fell off carelessly. The same is true of watches. 100% No one can predict. What is certain is that it is absolutely reliable to buy according to the following 6 points!
brand
Brand is everything. Choosing a brand with potential for maintaining and increasing value determines 90% of the value of this watch, but the brand appeal is not high price, but professionalism.
Among many brands, in addition to Patek Philippe and Rolex, the prices of watches with self-made movement factories, such as Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Glashü tte Original, Wanguo, Earl, Cartier, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Zhibai, are also very good.
Patek Philippe will always be the darling of the auction;

precious metal
Whether the watch is preserved or not has a great relationship with the metal used besides the technology and brand. It is also important to know the various materials of the metal. Generally speaking, the movement of a watch is mostly made of brass, and there are four kinds of cases: gold, rose gold, platinum and platinum. Platinum has the best price and preservation, followed by rose gold, gold and platinum.

Lange limited edition rose gold 1865438+ May phase wristwatch made in 2000 was sold at the price of 192000 euros, which was several times the original price.
craftsmanship
For a good watch, rare materials and craftsmanship can also increase the value of the watch, but besides the quality of the gem itself, craftsmanship is more important. Jewelry watches are exquisite and rare with all kinds of opals, jade, corals and diamonds, or with enamel-painted dials, such as Patek Philippe's "Cloisonne Enamel Art", which makes them like works of art and worth collecting.

The so-called watchmaking process and technology focuses on the movement. The easiest way to choose a movement is that a mechanical watch is absolutely superior to a quartz watch. Quartz watch movement comes from IC circuit and is eliminated with the passage of time. The most valuable thing about a mechanical watch is that it can display various complicated functions such as calendar, week, month, time telling, etc. through a small movement, and it also shows the unique exquisite craftsmanship of each watch factory. As long as the mechanical watch is properly maintained, it will not be a problem for a hundred years.
Limit quantity/amount/number
Rare things are precious. Limited edition watches have increased their collection value because of their unique and rare characteristics, and their unique numbers have greatly increased the chances of appreciation. From the brand, to the function, material, limited quantity or not, these determine the value of a watch (excluding the limited quantity paid by some brands in order to fight hunger and raise their prices)

originality
Creativity, of course, is the first impression of the watch; Innovation aims to show the movement and watchmaking process of watches. From the inside out, every creative link and idea is an important factor for people to buy. A watch with a unique design, or a movement with an innovative breakthrough in watchmaking skills, is very important, unique and has special commemorative value, which certainly adds value to the watch.
Playing Tibetan watches pays attention to a normal heart, vision and luck. They always do it with greed, but they can't achieve the expected results. If the watch is for your own use, it is recommended not to care too much about whether it will appreciate. Playing with watches and enjoying them are the most important things.
Thank you for your invitation.
In today's society, people from all walks of life will have a watch of their own, which can not only show a person's temperament, but also be a symbol of identity, and also play a certain role in preserving value. How to choose watches with good value preservation? I think this is a topic that many people care about. There are so many watch brands, and the new models released every year are endless. Which is worth buying? On the one hand, the news that watches are selling at sky-high prices keeps coming from the auction site; The other side is how to buy, such as investing in watches. Then, if you really love watches and don't want to lose yourself, you need to have great wisdom when choosing watches. Most watches can't be classic series, and most of them have the phenomenon of immediate purchase depreciation. If you remember the following points, you can basically buy a valuable watch.
First of all, it is difficult to buy a discount non-special table, so as not to make yourself passive when changing hands. Even one or two million top watches are super-complex technologies. After you buy them at the original price, it is very difficult to sell them in the second-hand market at this price.
Second, the brand is very important. You should buy brands with large market circulation, such as Rolex and Patek Philippe. Now they are absolute hard currency with high success rate, and they are also the darling of major auction houses. These brands are also the most displayed in the windows of second-hand watch shops in Hong Kong and Macao. There is also a high turnover rate does not mean appreciation, but it is better than other brands. But in terms of value preservation, Rolex is absolutely unique in the watch industry.
Third, choose the movement, refer to the first one, the higher the starting price, the smaller your appreciation. However, the price of watches with complex functions is generally high, so it is not recommended to spend millions on a flying track or a minute repeater at home; Antique watches are a good collection, with a small amount of existence and historical value, but the design is definitely out of date.
Fourth, choosing a small number of watches is the most basic collection principle. If there is a limited number of watches with high cost performance, try to choose a limited number of watches. It would be better if it has special significance on the basis of limited quantity. There is also a theme table, because of its special background, which often has high collection value. Of course, this does not mean that they are all worthless. Rolex produces at least 10 million pieces a year, and it is also a brand that doesn't like to push the limit. Its classic models are still very popular in the market.
I hope my answer will satisfy you. Please correct me if there is anything wrong. Thank you.
If preserving value means that the price of second-hand watches is similar to that of first-hand watches, then 99% of the watches in this world are not preserved. Because a watch is like a car, as long as it is put on in Kaifeng, it will automatically depreciate by a few percent.
Are there any exceptions? Or a brand with less depreciation? Yes, but very few. Now it is recognized by the industry that Patek Philippe and Rolex basically have this ability. Langer, FPJ, Panerai, etc. A few years ago, it still maintained a good value, but in recent years it has gradually turned cold.
There are two kinds of watches that can preserve value. The first is a watch with unique design or technology, high popularity and long-term pursuit. Even second-hand ones don't depreciate much, such as Nautilus and Water Ghost.
The second is the old watch used by celebrities or with their own historical stories. For example, the famous Paul Newman Daytona, the Omega worn by Elvis Presley and so on. This kind of watch will not depreciate, but it can be auctioned for a hundred times higher than the original price-but this has little to do with ordinary cousins.
Here are some more valuable watches:
1, Rolex Green Water Ghost 1 16 10lv
The green water ghost believes that no one knows now. The iconic green dial and bezel are super recognizable and can be said to be the only ones without semicolons. Because the amount of goods released is extremely rare, coupled with the blessing of performance, face value and word of mouth, even if you have money, it is hard to find a table. The price of speculation has risen year by year, far exceeding the open price. It is said that second-hand green ghosts with good appearance can almost be recycled at the original price! Are you afraid of such horrible ability to preserve value?
2. Patek Philippe Nautilus 57 1 1
Nautilus series is an important one of Patek Philippe's eight series. It is the work of Zunda, a famous watch designer, and the earliest sports watch of Patek Philippe. Its sleek and square appearance is classic and durable, and the advertisement of "matching diving suit and tuxedo" has made its reputation resound throughout the country. Now this watch is also in short supply, and poisoned watch friends are frantically looking for channels everywhere. It is the most expensive steel watch today. The ability to maintain value has been fully utilized.
3. Rolex Daytona 1 16500LN
In 20 16, Rolex introduced two new Daytona models, which caused quite a stir. Daytona has a good ability to preserve value and has always been valued by the market. This time 1 16500LN has a classic panda board! This is equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, and the market demand explodes instantly. It is understood that the current brand-new primary market price has reached 1.3 million, and you can earn it if you buy it.
4. Patek Philippe Aquanaut5 167/ 1A
The Aquanaut Submarine Explorer Watch was officially launched on 1997. It may not be as well-known as Nautilus, but the price is also very strong and it is difficult to start. The price of domestic counters is more than 1.9 million, which is nicknamed "Grenade" by cousins. This watch is quite cost-effective in the Patek Philippe family, so it is reasonable to be widely sought after.
5. Rolex Blackwater Ghost 1 166 10LN
As an alternative version of the green water ghost, the black water ghost is also very popular. Although its ability to preserve value is weaker than that of green water ghost, it is still enough to stand out from other watches.
However, in the end, I still want to say that playing with watches is my favorite, and it is worth 1000 yuan. If you just play watches for the purpose of preserving value or even investing, I'm afraid you won't experience real fun.
No one will buy a second-hand watch, will they? Therefore, watches with good value preservation do not exist. In the 1970s and 1980s, watches were a status symbol. Nowadays people have no feeling about watches. Even if you wear a 300,000-yuan watch on your wrist, even if you know what a world-famous watch such as Rolex is, no one will look at it. I don't want it anyway.
Buy a watch to preserve the value? This is a cold joke.
Value preservation is negotiable. A watch can also be inlaid with precious metals such as diamonds, platinum and gold, plus brand effect. The whole thing is valuable, as long as it is preserved, it can be preserved.
Those big-name watches will have a classic limited edition.
If you buy it, you can keep the value.
But their price will be priceless.
-Guangzhou Yuduomei/Gaoding Watch
Being among the top ten nations in the world and Rolex's handsome, fashionable, steady and beautiful style is a bit inaccurate to leave, but let other brands have a seven-day chain. I believe it is more inaccurate than the maturity of Rolex. Blow up and run, which is the favorite of criminals and drug lords. Generally speaking, it has no Millennium movement. Rolex relies on technology and technology to check the experience of various countries on various watch websites. Hundreds of thousands to millions depend entirely on technology and technology. Rolex depends on diamonds from hundreds of thousands to millions. A tens of thousands and ninety thousand yuan Deaton can sell more than 980,000 diamonds, of which 890,000 are diamonds. Do you sell diamonds or technology? If all countries wear diamonds, the price can be three times that of your Rolex, and at least you can throw away all kinds of brands in several streets, except the top five Rolex. If you want diamonds, wouldn't it be better to buy them directly? Rolex technology remains unchanged for thousands of years, and the flywheel looks ugly. I can't even look back. Wake up. Rolex, which keeps everything valuable, is just as good as Cartier and Earl in advertising in China. It was set off by jewels to escape once and for all.

For more watch knowledge, please search the e-book "Zou Sanshan's Tips for Playing Watches". Generally, fashion brands such as Longines, Cartier, Rado, Omega, Chanel and Armani are devalued, while high-end products of high-end brands such as Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe and Jaeger-LeCoultre, such as limited edition and customized models, are very valuable. Real masterpieces handed down from ancient times can't be bought by ordinary people, and those who can afford them don't care whether they are preserved or not. Rolex is the most incredible brand in the world. It does not rely on precious metals or scarcity, but it can still reach the first rate of preservation in the world. This is largely due to Rolex's strong public relations ability and styles that can meet the tastes of different classes and watch lovers.
Choosing a watch with good value preservation depends on strength, brand, time and luck. Strength is whether the price of the watch you buy is high or low. Brand is to buy absolute plate or sell absolute plate or absolute batch. Time is many years later, and your watch collection is well preserved. Luck is whether your watch collection can become a miracle or a treasure. All this depends on the grace of heaven. Playing with a watch is playing with a watch. If you want to preserve your value, it is always hopeless to buy domestic products. Hello, go to Switzerland to draw up a unique one, such as Vacheron Constantin, Rolex, French Patek Philippe and German Lan Zhi. 100 years, or 200 years later, if the original manufacturer buys it, it can sell it for half a cent more.
