Stock market "crash" - will we finally be able to enjoy this hobby again in 2022?

I sure hope so, but probably wishful thinking.

I have a collection I'm very happy with, but sometimes it's nice to scratch an itch and go grey on a watch that isn't 2 x retail or so.

What! I'm not "hopeful" or "thinking wishfully" for a Stock Market Crash.

If you want a watch and have money just go buy it! Losing hundreds of thousand of dollars is much worse than 2x retail!

Sorry the wishful thinking was not regarding a stock market crash, would not wish that on anyone invested, nor myself. The correction is inevitable in all markets, and the wishful thinking was in regards to the same with prices of watches coming back to earth.
I do hope the hobby at some points turns away from being an investing game all about value, back to being about enjoying watches for what they are.

If there’s a stock market crash, unobtanium Rolex will be the LEAST of your worries…….

People view luxury goods differently today. People today more understand the value of money and buy things which hold value. That dynamic will not change no matter when the stock market corrects.

Luxury goods sales and prices typically don’t fall in a market correction. That being said, there will be some panicked flippers trying to get their money out of a watch to cover bad options bets.

In what reality would anyone want the stock market to crash???? This is like saying..... "I hope the cruise ship sinks because there is too many people in the pool and buffet line".
I would hope you got more going on in your life financially than a trivial watch collection.

Exactly, If you’re on this board I would hope you have a portfolio. If someone’s largest asset it a watch they have priorities wrong.

I certainly do not want to see a stock market crash.

Sure...watch prices will plummet...just like they did in 2019 when the market tumbled.

Oh wait.

If you are hoping for a market crash to get watches at a lower price and really think this will leave you net better off financially, then you spend way too much on watches.

I think it's fanciful for anyone to think that somehow Rolex's are above market dynamics. They are not free from volatility, and if anything - meteoric, sudden rises typically are followed by hard falls.

I wouldn't buy with debt and I wouldn't "invest" needed savings or retirement money in them.

Why so bitter?
A market correction is inevitable and quite frankly LONG overdue.

I do not rely on the watch market to leave me better off financially.
I simply hope I can see the day when we can have a market where majority buy a watch for the watch and not for what it will be worth the following month.

Not bitter at all but there is a hell of difference between a market "crash" and a market "correction". Perhaps that needs to be clarified in the original post. "Market Correction" is probably what you meant.

I apologize about that, it is what I meant. I am unable to edit the title.
Entirely healthy, and it would be too in the watch market for hobbyists

You see space bit-scuits
You see animation art Tokens
You see Louise Vuittons and Chanels handbagging to the highest used lover.
You see white Daytonas heading to la-la land in a paper money boat ..

and you do have to wonder

Bots do 80% of the active daily USA stock trading. Front-run their algos and make many, many millions

Nothing is immune to unreasonable asset class prices. This will be no different just a matter of time if the market correction gets worse

For every 1% unemployment goes up, 40,000 people die. I won't pray for a crash.
