Fake watches: “buying new and not buying old” is the consensus of many consumers. Just as the new hardware is equipped with advanced technology and has more powerful performance than the old model, it is undoubtedly a wiser choice to choose the new model when the price difference is not obvious. But does this point of view also apply to the bezel?
Watchers who support the view of “buying new and not buying old” believe that new watches often reflect current fashion trends and aesthetic habits. Buying new watches can have a longer life cycle, and it is not easy to be “obsolete” even after many years.
Another reason is freshness: the appearance of old watches has been used for several years, which can easily cause aesthetic fatigue.
The new model can get an unprecedented wearing experience, which is also the advantage of “buying new”.
In addition to the appearance factor, the new watches have generally upgraded the movement. For example, the latest generation of Omega fake De Ville series elegant Replica Swiss Watches will upgrade the Cal.2500 movement that has been used for many years to the Cal.8800 movement. Compared with the former, the Cal.8800 movement has improved power reserve, can resist a magnetic field of 15,000 gauss, and has been upgraded from the COSC Observatory certification to the more demanding “Master Observatory” certification.
IWC’s latest Mark 20 has also upgraded the movement. Compared with the Cal.35111 movement of the previous Mark XVIII (based on Sellita SW300-1), the new Cal.32111 movement has a power reserve of 120 hours and uses some silicon Parts such as escape wheel and fork lever, the performance improvement is perceived significantly. At this point “buying new” seems necessary.
The advantage of the new model lies in the preservation of value: the price of the new model of the same brand and series is generally higher than that of the old model in the secondary market due to the lack of stock and circulating products.
On the other hand, once you choose an old model, if it is not a specific popular product, you must be prepared for a “big sale” when you sell it again.
After talking about the necessity of “buying new”, let’s look at different points of view. This part of the watchers believe that,
as a luxury watch, the performance is only one of the reference factors for the purchase, and will not play a decisive role in the final decision. Of course, the “old” mentioned here does not refer to second-hand Swiss Luxury Fake Watches,
but earlier versions and discontinued models.
The advantage of the old model is first reflected in the price. Generally speaking, in order to make way for the new model,
the old model generally has a good discount; even if it does not participate in the discount,
the price advantage of the old model is also very significant in front of the official price of the new product that has risen year after year. In addition, mechanical watches are different from electronic products that follow “Moore’s Law”. Today’s products have very limited upgrades and no major innovative breakthroughs. Therefore, there is no need to deliberately pursue the latest models when purchasing a watch,
just choose the right product based on subjective preferences.
On the other hand, the “old” with a classic design
and a high degree of recognition is often more attractive than the bland new version. The so-called classic must be a time-proven work.
Take Rolex’s most popular “green submariner” as an example. The discontinued Ref.116610LV uses a combination of a green plate and a green ceramic ring.
The colors are coordinated and integrated,
so that this product has a A strong sense of unity, which brings a high degree of recognition.
On the other hand, the 2020 Ref.126610LV, due to the replacement of the dial to black,
weakened the product characteristics to a certain extent,
resulting in a lower-than-expected reputation for the new model. A similar situation happened with the “Explorer”,
where the discontinued 39mm model was more popular with consumers than the new 36mm model. From this point of view, even if the new product is blessed with a more powerful Cal.3235/3230 movement,
it still cannot shake the status of the old model. Therefore, “old model” does not mean a denial of previous products,
and the consumption concept of “buying new and not buying old” may not be applicable to the bezel.
