Why is Tudor losing so much value?

By the way, the Rolex prices through the mid-90s, when you adjust for inflation, were lower than Tudor is today. The Black Bay GMT, for example, debuted at exactly the inflation-adjusted price of a 90s 16710. The price of it has since gone up of course. And yes, those Rolexes "lost value" as you put it the moment you bought them. This is completely normal.

Do you think a Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Aston Martin or Aston Martin DB12 or anything else is a bad car because it loses a huge chunk of value the moment you make the purchase?



What? There is an overall reselling bubble in the market, not just for Rolex, due to a combination of fiscal policy and online culture.

Maybe there is some kind of language issue at play here.

You are my hero!! Thank you for the explanation!
