Pilot watches on the secondhand market
Watches grouped as pilot watches by the same design tagger the rest of the site uses, so the group here and the group you can browse never disagree. The reading covers the whole group.
There is a figure behind this year, and it is too unsteady to publish. A reading that could be a real move or could be sampling noise stays unpublished.

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 A listing may close because it was withdrawn or because it sold, so the two panels are published separately and never blended.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.
