What enthusiasts are asking

Watches at $10,000 and up on the secondhand market

A watch lands in this band because of what it goes for on the secondhand market, not because of what it cost new. That is also why there is no list of watches on this page: naming them would be publishing each one's market price, which is the one thing this surface does not do.

The interval is tight and straddles zero. That is a real answer: this group did not move enough to be detected.

Year by year

Year by year change in asking prices, with 95% confidence intervals and the number of matched watches behind each reading.

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.

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 A closed listing may have been withdrawn rather than bought, so this is never a sale price and the two panels are never blended.

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.

Why there is no list of watches here

A watch lands in a price band because of what it goes for on the secondhand market, not because of its retail price. Naming the watches in a band would be publishing each one’s market price, which is the one thing this page does not do. The reading above is the whole band.

Other price bands

Bands are set from each watch's own market price, not from its retail price.

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.
