Why are the foreigners who make a lot of money buying watches?
I don't know if you remember the two articles that the princess sent before "Buying a watch as an investment, is it essentially feasible?" "How much does a person who wears 80,000 Rolex watches earn a year?" Hear what they have to say? 》
These days the princess discovered a new continent again.
In 2012, in order to earn some extra money, Zach began to be involved in the watch collecting industry.
On January 17, 2015, for $5.99, or 38 yuan, he insisted on buying a "LeCoultre Deep Sea Alarm" watch that everyone around him thought was a miscellaneous brand. (I thought it wasn't expensive anyway)
Lemona Brandon, American. In 1968, Brandon followed the fleet on a business trip to Hong Kong, and when he was hanging out at a wholesaler in Hong Kong, Brandon took a fancy to an Omega watch, which was a new "Speed Master" brand professional watch launched by Omega in 1968.
At the time, the watch was priced at £45, or about 379 yuan. Brandon was still working in the fleet, earning just £10 a week, and the £45 watch was his monthly salary.
(Look at the watch that people spent more than a month of salary to buy, who dares to complain about the person who spent a few months to buy a watch after reading it?) ）
Since then, with the blessing of "moon landing", the price of this watch has risen.
In 2017, the well-known treasure hunting and appraisal program "Antique Roadshow" in the United States estimated an estimate of 40,000 pounds, equivalent to about 337,000 yuan, and earned more than !!!
Charles Kent, American. In 1964, at Tiffany & Co. in New York, he saw a "GM-Master" Rolex watch, did not think too much, and he also ran a private clinic of his own, $275 was not expensive for him, so he bought it decisively.
Later, when he saw that his nephew was going to college, he didn't have a watch in his hand, and he frowned and said to Eric in a serious tone:
You're going to college, which shows that you're already a mature man, a mature man, and you can't do without a decent watch on your wrist.
After saying this, Charles untied the Rolex watch on his wrist and gave it to his nephew.
In 2020, he wore a watch to the well-known treasure hunting program in the United States, "Join in the Fun", and was offered 50,000 US dollars, equivalent to about 320,000 yuan, and this time the nephew made a lot of money!!!
(ps: Is there such a good thing we ask?) ）
Joyce Joseph, a native of Oxford, England.
David Ferdinand, American. Is an avid diving enthusiast, so he has always wanted to buy a watch that can do deep-sea diving, in Christmas 1974, the Rolex watch company launched a promotion, the same day to buy can be 10% off, just like this, David used his monthly salary of 345 US dollars, equivalent to about 2204 yuan to buy a Rolex Daytona watch.
However, after buying this watch, David only used it for 3 deep dives to put it in the safe, because he thought the watch was too good to look at, afraid that putting it in salt water would damage it, so as soon as he entered the safe, it was 46 years.
Later, by chance, an antiques expert, Peter, estimated the sky-high price of David's watch for $700,000, equivalent to about 4.45 million yuan. The profit has doubled!!!
Jared Les, American.
Ives Jeffrey, British.
Lucia Beata, British.
Leopold Les, British. He once read a James Bond book, and he found that James's watch was a Rolex watch, so he always wanted to buy a Rolex watch.
One day in 1985, a jeweler friend of Leopold called him, and the other party said that he had a Rolex watch that could be sold to him, so the two met, negotiated the price, and finally Leopold bought the Rolex watch for 400 pounds, equivalent to about 3410 yuan.
In December 2020, an antique expert estimated 45,000 euros, earning over these three words I am tired of!!!
(ps: So star chasing is not completely meaningless, and the right way to chase stars may also bring you to the peak of your life.) ）
Justin Kelly, British.
Levi Lester, British.
Jerome Jonas, British. In 1964, in order to celebrate his birthday, Jerome bought a Rolex Submariner 5512 watch for 70 pounds, equivalent to about 695 yuan, at a Rolex watch store in London, which was also his monthly salary at that time.
But he died of illness shortly after, and the watch passed on to his son-in-law.
It was identified as an out-of-print and rarely surviving piece of old Rolex. On October 21, 2019, this rare watch was publicly auctioned at the Gardner Holgate auction, and after several rounds of auctions, the watch was successfully auctioned by a collector in Hong Kong for 250,000 pounds, equivalent to about 2.13 million yuan. Changing sons-in-law earned a lot!!!
(ps: It is really cool after the predecessor planted the tree, and when he meets such a father-in-law, he does not have to worry about it for a lifetime. ）
After reading this, I wonder how everyone's inner waves are now?
Of course! The princess shared with everyone that these are not to create any anxiety for everyone, every age has the opportunity that belongs to everyone, and the opportunities in different generations are not the same.
Secondly, although the examples are shared by foreigners who have earned more and more, does it mean that foreigners are much smarter and have a unique vision than us? Don't overlook that luck also plays a big part of that, right?
Therefore, if you like it, you don't have to care about the eyes of others and do your own considerations; at the same time, you must pay attention to maintenance after buying a watch.
Focus on maintenance, authoritative evaluation, understand the watch, more talk. You just need it, I can just give, I hope today's article is still helpful to you, I am the fifth princess!
