Original Owner Purchases...

I have the opportunity to buy an original owner Big Pilot. I have been on the sidelines for a little over two years looking for the perfect one. One of the criteria for it being the "perfect one" was purchasing from an original owner. Just wondering how much value/emphasis others place on purchasing a pre-owned watch with only one owner vs. second owner and so on.

Not much. Maybe a 2-5% premium for me.

I appreciate the response. I missed out on this one so I should probably apply the same value going forward.

Anyone else?

Not much for me either when talking about something like this, or anything reasonably modern. Does the watch work properly and am I happy with the condition; if those two check out then I care less if there were one or five owners of the watch.

Thanks for the perspective!
