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 is the whole group, not any one reference.
Enough watches for a range, not enough for a number. The interval is too wide to point one way.

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 A closed listing may have been withdrawn rather than bought, so this is never a sale price and the two panels are never blended.
The panel
One vote per watch, never weighted by price. A dollar-weighted index of this panel would just be a tracker for whichever brand lists the most expensive watches.
Browse these watches
Catalog pages, not the index panel. The figures above are the panel’s; these are the watches in the same group.
Other kinds of watch
Grouped by what the watch is for, not by what its maker calls it.
Every other cut
How this is measured
These are asking prices, not sale 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 is not measured out. Read it as what an owner holding these watches saw, not as what a model is worth new.
