Our watch collectors and enthusiasts world is a strange world.
If certain types are unavailable, I read posts stating how sad that is (I recall a post week back when somebody posted picture of empty windows at the Rolex boutique).
If certain models are sold out with l Ng waiting list we moan because secondary market takes a margin purely for “availability”.
Yet if a dealer has most models in stock, we state that these watches are probably slow moving models thus not interesting.
So what’s right and what’s wrong? They both are both.
If viewed from collectors/trading/future value point of view, scarcity is probably a plus and slow movers (might be valuable but from trading perspective less liquid) are thus less interesting
If viewed from a pure enthusiastic point of view, scarcity means to7 have to wait longer and slow movers, well they keep there value (the top brands so to speak) and liquidity is perhaps less of a concern.
The truth therefore is, as always, somewhere in the middle
