Watch Market: Watchfinder Makes Reductions on 500 Watches

Is the watch boom over, or just settling down after a mad five years or so? For us, the Rolex boom is probably over, as Rolex seeks to commandeer control of the pre-owned market via its dealer network. The end result will be that buyers resent paying top dollar for refurbished, or buying used watches that cannot be serviced by independent repairers.

Rado Coupole: Classic Auto, With Reserve Indicator
