Christopher Ward on the secondhand market
Every Christopher Ward listing our crawlers matched to a catalog reference on r/Watchexchange and WatchUSeek. A brand moves as one cluster, so a brand cut carries much less independent information than its count suggests, which is why most brands publish a range.
The count is published. It takes 40 matched watches in both years to publish a figure, and 25 to publish a range.

Each year is compared with the one before it, over the watches listed in both. Nothing before 2022 is drawn: the older forum threads still standing are the ones nobody pruned, and the direction of that bias is unknown.
The closing-ask cross-check
A second panel, built separately from the last price a seller asked before their listing closed. A listing may close because it was withdrawn or because it sold, so the two panels are published separately and never blended.
The panel
One vote per watch, whatever its price. A dollar-weighted index of this panel would just track whichever brand lists the most expensive watches.

How this is measured
These are asking prices. A sale price is never observed here. Both panels are published separately and are never blended.
Matched model. A year’s change is the average change across watches listed in both that year and the one before, one vote per watch.
It follows the same watches getting older. A matched-model index of used goods carries some drift from age alone, and that drift stays in the figure. Read it as what an owner holding these watches saw.
