Urgent help ladies! Need to make a purchase decision today.

[sheld770]

Hello All,

I desperately need some urgent help in making a decision whether to purchase this piece or not that I was offered today. Its a rare pink MOP with rose gold setting VCA watch with only 150 pcs ever made. I truly loved the piece but I am wondering if its worth the investment for a watch or it doesnt hold its value like Cartier? I intend to keep it but there comes a time after 5 or 7 years down the line where I like rotating my pieces, and my second concern is whether I should go for VCA watch because i loves the pink MOP or make a less emotional decision and purchase a Rolex, Cartier or Jaeger for the same price?

Attached are the pictures of this stunning piece. Sorry for the blur, took them in a hurry.

Thank you so much lovelies!

Honestly, if you're already thinking about selling it, it isn't for you.

I dont intend to sell it, but in the future after many years if I plan to for any reason, I would like to invest in something that doesn't lose its value specially if its almost $20,000. Thats what I mean.

If you are thinking of selling it, Rolex is always the best choice. But Rolex is so in your face.

VCA is for keeping and owning and flattering yourself , not for retaining values. If you like the piece of VCA, then it's valuable to you.

If your priority is “investing” then I wouldn’t. I would put that money toward a Rolex, Patek, A. Lange or royal oak. But If you LOVE it, get it.

There is no guarantee on what will keep its value years down the road in spite of a it being a limited edition
$20,000 is a significant amount of money to invest in the VCA watch & not so sure that this
is the best choice having those expectations, There are better options, IMO

I do not believe this piece is ‘rare’. When I asked about it my store had 2 in stock to compare. I decided to get a Rolex instead for the same use as it was more the look I wanted (rg two tone with diamonds). I would only buy it if you love it and will wear it. Not for resale later.

Absolutely the Rolex or another of the horological bigwigs...

I think that particular VCA, as a watch, is going to be tougher to match to what you wear than a Rolex.
I disagree that Rolex is any more “in your face” than other luxury accessories. Most people don’t even look or notice.
You wear things for your own pleasure. Get what you love and can wear often, not because of future value or because of what others might think.

Any Tom Dick and Harry spot a Rolex and recognise a Rolex while for other brands such as Piaget, Breguet or A. Lange, people might have no clue and that's part of the reasons why some people prefer Rolex not only for the quality but there's a flexing element in it. Am not saying that anyone who owns a Rolex is in for the flexing, after all, people do like a quality watch that is still within a good price point.

I have been shown this watch a number of times already and I do not think only 150 pcs are made (unless it’s 150 per 3 months or something like that).

 

[Diamondbirdie]

Gosh, I don’t mean to be rude but this screams “fashion watch” to me, despite its price tag. I’d definitely put the money towards a decent automatic movement piece instead.

Due to the time constraints (ie. having to make a decision today), I would personally hold off. At minimum, it sounds like YOU need more time to consider the pros and cons of this piece vs other possibilities.

Im in the minority here but I love the watch. It’s totally feminine vibe which is so different from Rolex. I think a watch collection has room for both.

It is a beautiful watch but unfortunately I don't think it will keep much of its value financially.
This watch is really just a wow I love it and have to have it , with the acceptance that it will most likely not be able to be sold for a lot of money later on.
It's also probably not a daily wear watch.
