The Baume&Mericer cost: 2800$ and the Sec Hand Iwc cost: 4000$ what do you think should I do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted June 22, 2014 Both lovely watches, but I'm with gran - I'd go for the IWC personally Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bdaniel2 0 Posted June 22, 2014 IWC all the way!!! Can you explain to me why please? I wanted to know what will keep more of the value of the watch The iwc will be a third hand after I buy it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aks65 0 Posted June 22, 2014 Yep, must agree with both Greg and Gran: IWC would be my choice aswell. Not very fond on the tourby look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty010 1 Posted June 22, 2014 Id go for the iwc anytime! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aks65 0 Posted June 22, 2014 IWC all the way!!! I wanted to know what will keep more of the value of the watch Bro, if that's the question, why didn't you say so? But will not alter the outcome: the IWC imho! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gran 198 Posted June 22, 2014 IWC all the way!!! Can you explain to me why please? I wanted to know what will keep more of the value of the watch The iwc will be a third hand after I buy it IWC is a better watch. It Is more collectible as ther are many more IWC collectors. With proper service it matters little if it is third hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millionaire wannabe 1 Posted June 22, 2014 As nice as the B&M. (Whoa! Sounds almost like S&M! Lol) is, and actually a bit classier looking, I'm with the concensus here: IWC. If you're not planning on using the chrono a lot, then the Baume & Mercier would make more sense, you could get a couple really nice extra straps, a new watch box, and still have money left over compared to the cost of the IWC. But in the long run I think the IWC is just a little bit neater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Irishcain 0 Posted June 23, 2014 I would have to agree about the IWC. Regardless of the number of previous owners, as long as it's kept in good condition, it will depreciate far less in value over time. It's also a much more attractive piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kromp 0 Posted June 23, 2014 Iwc all the way. Great looking watch and a stronger following. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted June 23, 2014 Can't really comment on which would be a better investment but I'm curious why you would match these two watches against each other as they seem to be very different watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 1108 0 Posted June 24, 2014 If money's not the issue, buy 'em both and I'll pick up the one you don't want on the M2M catch and release. You win, I win. Just a thought. You cant lose here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
