At some point in life, you may want to start buying luxury watches. As a beginner, you may ask, "How much budget do I need to buy a luxury watch?" This question is not easy to answer because the price range of luxury watches is very broad, and the prices of different brands, models, materials, and conditions can vary greatly.
However, as a beginner, you can determine your luxury watch budget by the following:
First, you need to determine the main reason why you want a luxury watch. Is it for daily wear as an accessory or as a collectible? If you just want a luxury watch for daily wear, your budget may be much lower than for a collectible.
If you want a sporty watch suitable for everyday wear and popular, you can consider Rolex's Daytona series:
The Daytona series, designed for racing, is absolutely secure and comfortable, whether it's the strap or the clasp. The Oysterflex strap was developed and patented by Rolex, combining the strength and reliability of a metal strap with the elasticity, comfort, and beauty of a rubber strap. The Oysterflex strap is equipped with the Rolex Glidelock extension device, an innovative device developed and patented by Rolex. The Rolex Glidelock extension device of the Oysterflex strap has six notches, each about 2.5 millimeters, making it easy to adjust the strap length, with a maximum extension of about 15 millimeters.
The price range for the Daytona series varies from HKD 130,000 to HKD 400,000, with more expensive models using precious metals (e.g., rose gold). The prices of higher-priced models can reach up to HKD 1 million, mainly for collectible models.
2. Research market prices:
After determining your needs, you need to start researching the price range of various brands and models on the market. You can learn about market prices by searching on websites, referring to prices in the second-hand market, and communicating with other luxury watch enthusiasts.
3. Set a budget range:
After researching market prices, you can set a budget range, which should be determined based on your needs, market prices, and financial situation.
4. Consider the second-hand market:
If your budget is limited, considering buying a second-hand luxury watch may be a good option. The prices of luxury watches in the second-hand market are often cheaper than new ones, and you can also find many well-maintained second-hand luxury watches.
In summary, as a beginner, the most important thing to determine your luxury watch budget is to understand your needs, research market prices, set a budget range, and consider the second-hand market. Through these steps, you can find a luxury watch that meets your needs and is reasonably priced."
