No comment about aftermarket prices, it’s a beautiful watch.

I’m in the queue for one at a VC Boutique. The blue dial is killer and the strap changing system is an excellent innovation. VC nailed with the Overseas line up….

Is the double retail justifiable?

Don’t think any watch is worth double the retail imho.

I can’t think of anything that justify paying such a premium

;-)

My thoughts as well

Depends On The Currency IMHO

Getting something of intrinsic value is very smart on your part. Bravo! Some currencies you want to reduce your exposure to ASAP due to constant / ongoing high devaluation. Which currency are you using and how badly has it devalued in the last 36 months? ... 

You’re joking right?

Do these go for double retail??

Easily

My passion is watches, not watches for money

By the way if I refer to the Terms of conduct I would refrain from having a post just about street value. Why not discussing how you like the VC Overseas?

Pay twice, no

Pay twice is robbing your own wallet. Pay above retail, depends on the situation. I skip all watches that are increased in price. I skip watches that have an unreasonable price tag. Honest watches and bargains are my goal.

🤣🤣🤣

(Same predicament here, but can’t afford above retail)

The development has become so boring

 
 By: Jocke - Bad Santa : October 23rd, 2021-14:41
The market is no longer for collectors or enthusiasts when the flippers & profiteers have taken over. It is depressing to see the development, but as long as people pay these premiums, it will remain so. If the manufacturers are smart, they realize that t... 

That’s a great idea to squeeze out the flippers…

 
 By: Lankysudanese : October 23rd, 2021-14:59
but it also squeezes out the ‘middle-class’ collector (if there is such a thing, anymore)

Well said

agree 100%

 
 By: DouglasM : October 27th, 2021-16:05

This one? IMHO no

 
 By: Gelato Monster : October 23rd, 2021-15:39

Nope, definitely not justifiable

OK, now that you got enough answers to your question...

Can you tell us more about the beautiful watch on your wrist? Love it on that strap.

Any one else

notice the odor the rubber VC straps delivered with this watch have. I really wanted to wear it on the rubber strap, but the odor while not bad or strong is still there. Never seen that before.

I'm in the No camp, although silly price inflation can be useful too. It helps mark up the watches from which one should walk away without a second thought.

There's another useful by-product. When prices hit nosebleed velocity, the reasons to venerate the market disappear and it is revealed for what it is: an arena where the basest of human behaviours run wild. There's nothing dignified or rational about it. ...
