Seems to be easier to find Men's watches almost 10:1.

Women buy/given one, keep for sentiment?

Guys are chronic flippers, sellers?

rabbithole88 · 26 April 2016, 05:01 AM

Perhaps women are less likely to be flippers?

Clearly

Women are more into handbags and purses and shoes, that resale market probably mirrors watches for men more.

That's why I can't find any used man purses!

You mean a murse.

Justinmg · 26 April 2016, 05:15 AM

Yeah I've noticed that, I wonder what the annual sales are compared to men's watches.

enjoythemusic · 26 April 2016, 05:40 AM

Hmmm... not sure where you're looking, yet there are many used women's Rolex timepieces on the market.

Man bags, not so much. Think they are all stuck back in 1995. Could be worse, go try and find some parachute, or Z Cavaricci, pants.

My wife has had two (datejust) in last 20 years traded first in on second

tigerpac · 26 April 2016, 06:21 AM

Women seem much less likely to buy on the secondary market as well. I've been trying to sell a couple of the wife's Omegas at steep discount to no avail.

Hodog16 · 26 April 2016, 06:36 AM

I think it's because the resale is so bad. When I bought my wife a second one (31 mm) I checked the market for the first (26 mm) and it was only worth between $1500-2000. For that much I'm saving it to give to my daughter when she gets older.

Cause or consequence?

VinnieVegas · 26 April 2016, 06:38 AM

At the risk of sounding sexist, I think women tend to keep their valuable stuff.

So, ummmm, you mean if I ever go broke the 1/2 my age +7 years very cute blonde wife who cooks and cleans, enjoys Zumba many times a week (she's also a famer's daughter) is going to leave me?

PS: Yes, all the above is true about my lovely wife. As for me, well...

I refuse to take the bait on this question.

OP, if you are looking for a deal, I think the forum sellers can source you just about anything you want.

Sal_UKSheffield · 26 April 2016, 07:27 AM

Women don't spend big money on a whim the way we do... Hence they buy for keeps (4eva)

Maybe they don't spend big money on a whim as much as we do but they generally spend on a whim more often than we do. It more than likely equals out over the course of a few years.

As for the OP's question, I guess most there are more male WIS than female; women are more into shoes and handbags.

Muzz · 26 April 2016, 07:46 AM

Women tend to wear all sizes from 26-44mm DSSDs now so the observation does not really take that into account. I am sure there are several sport models that were previously owned by women that traded them in on PM pieces.

superstarmar · 26 April 2016, 08:02 AM

I agree with others , women are
less likely to flip ...

Hopefully you knew I was half joking.... Ladies like her are extremely rare so color me quite lucky.

Back ON topic ladies do tend to keep their jewelry such as watches... unless a bad breakup or financial need. Come to think about it, have bought around four timepieces for my wife. Just glad she likes pretty-looking Swatch watches though now loves / wears the Samsung Gear S2 4Glte.

hoanghung45 · 26 April 2016, 09:11 AM

Most of them are beaten up to death ?

Brenngun · 26 April 2016, 09:49 AM

Have asked my wife many times if she wants to flip hers but the answer is always no and the reason is always the same. Too much sentimental value. There is a forum seller here that seems to always have a reasonable number or 26mm and 31mm in the for sale section.

Yep. Because most are like my wife and don't think twice about digging in the garden or doing laundry or throwing it in a drawer. My wife just never wore her DJ. She likes the cheapie watches and I just got her a Tudor she seems to enjoy.

Considering that a man does not have a lot of choices on acres stories etc.. I would think that men tend to flip watches much more than women do... I know a lot of women who got a very nice watch when they were quite young and have since kept it for decades to come...
A good analogy would be to think of men's jewellery in the second hand market versus women's jewellery in the second hand market.. Then it starts making much more sense!
