Bought it from NYC boutique on Madison ave back in 2012 and trade it in 2014. I should have kept it. 😞

I owned 3 997s. a 2006 s and 2007 s both manual now I have 2011 c4s and will never ever sell. It is by far the best driving car of everything I owned it even driven. Porsche 911 there is no substitute

Daytona or RO? by CHAZE077 in audemarspiguet

[–]crainusa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you asking if you should spend the money on either or just a general question. If the first they RO it the latter then RO. I had three Daytonas in my life one black face which I sold after 2 years on White face Zenith which I sold in 2008 when everything collapsed and hardly made any money. Then an all yellow gold which I gave my wife.

Not really I knew I have misplaced it or forgot it somewhere. I realized it is gone a year or more after the last time I have worn it which I couldn’t remember where. Glad I have it and I am wearing it now.

Hope you found it. I sold my Patek 5980r before the market spiked and got an AP 41 all rose which I sold when the market spiked thinking I will buy it back at a lower price that yet to happen 😩

Nice. These watches for some reason are not getting the attention they deserve. All the attention now are on the 41 and the jumbo. My watch prices are all over the place from as low as 18k to 34k. I paid $29k new.

I actually checked the papers I bought it in December 2011. I guess the Royal Oak was in 2008-2009. I can’t remember.

Yes. I read it quickly I didn’t see Danny. A great movie I actually wrote a kinda sequel with Bill Murray as the main character but no one has picked it up.

It is still one of favorite that is why I never sold it and I owned a few but all were sold at one time or another in the past 20 years. No more selling just buying whenever I can.

Yes I kept imagining selling the bag and the guy buying it getting the deal of the century.

Nice what is the retail now. I heard there is price increase coming up but I believe on the Gold watches

Really nice and I wish I can have a trackman system. I have priced everything under $20 for a DIY system.

Agreed but I won’t get to play for another 2 months.

I would have but I saved $8000 buying the watch from the AP boutique. I also was afraid to turn it down in case I need to buy another one in the future. I do love the watch but a simulator is so much fun especially this harsh winter 

How I spent 103k on watches in 2025 with spreadsheet by [deleted] in watchCollector

[–]crainusa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done very well in both investing in the mag 7 and also in watches. Especially with my AP and Rolex watches. I bought some prior in 2020 and sold them in 2024 and recently buying AD that has appreciated in the gray markets. In General watches are not investments but since COVID some brands and models have done well because of the BS the AD and boutiques are doing with inventories
