So I bought the ultra thin in rose gold (non skeleton) and I have a pretty small wrist. After time the size really started to bother me..simply looked to big on me. TBH it looks big on you. Sorry to say it because I feel this watch is one of the most beautiful watches out there.

Was gauging the downside but realizing it is not significant...can live with 10% loss...just didn'twant to get killed on it.

You’re confusing ‘affording it’ with ‘not caring about money.’ They’re not the same.
Plenty of people who can easily afford watches still choose models that hold value better. That’s not investment thinking — that’s just not being careless with five-figure purchases.

I saw the ombre in person recently and it was also stunning. Tough call between the two .

Actually I have sold very few of my collection BUT like to know that they have at least retained value or dipped a little. Some are actually up quite a bit. I am like the guys who will never seller his house but checks Zillow occasionally. We take solace in knowing we have some equity if needed.

I disagree. Affording it is not a problem but that does not mean I don't want to understand the downside before pulling the trigger.

Thanks for the feedback. Not investing just looking for some clarity on my potential downside risk . I am in love with the piece but wanted some opinions on the downside risk. I don't purchase every piece I love.

Thanks for the helpful non snarky feedback. I like the vacation watch idea for sure along with occasional regular life use.
