It is normal for manufactured objects to be worth less than msrp, with used objects being worth even less. Of course things will normalize.

Maybe they will drop below?

Ton is an imperial measurement (2240 lbs) and is often used in the UK.

Tonne is a metric measurement (1000kgs or 2200 lbs) and the only time I have heard it used in the UK is in relation the vehicle weights which are usually stamped in metric units.

Or am I just showing my age?

That is one nice chart MSchu! Where did you get it or create it from?

Data points are all TRF listings or coming in from where?

Though China and HK combined are still well above. It may take all of 2020 for it to show caught up on a YOY basis or perhaps it goes back the other way and HK recovers.
HK's figures are massively bloated in recent years by mainland money coming over and buying stuff. The current issues in HK have seen tourism from the PRC drop through the floor, as well as a tightening of belts in preparation for whatever comes next.

The watch neighbourhood in Dundas Street is quite quiet at the moment and prices stopped rising on most models about four months ago. The length and depth of any correction here will depend entirely on HK/PRC govt actions in the coming weeks/months.
