Why don't AP's hold their value??

[lapince]

90% of Patek or Rolex will loose value if you buy at retail, a few models will gain, Daytona, 5711, 5131, but most will loose. So AP is doing not so bad on some models as well, a few LE ROO even took big value, Schulacher for example, or even the 15300, around 3-4 years ago you could get a mint blue dial for 9-10k euros, now good luck on that, even the white and black go for more. If you buy right, many models will increase after 5-7 years of ownership, some not, really no rules, but AP is doing much better than 99% of watch companies...
