Tennsun -- The secondary market for luxury watches is worth $25 billion. Analysts say it will outstrip the primary market by 2032. However, the WatchCharts Overall Index is down almost 40% since its March 2022 peak.

While losses may have slowed in recent months, last year has been challenging for collectors. Here's the 12-month data on the average prices for top 5 brands.

●      Rolex: $26,178 - down 8%

●      Patek Philippe: $144,922 - down 14%

●      Audemars Piguet: $68,092 - down 16%

●      Omega: $8,939 - down 2.6%

●      Cartier: $9,102 - up 1%

So, if you're holding one of these luxury watches, what is your best move for 2024?

Buy, sell, or hold?

The market has been in decline for two years. But there are signs things are changing. In the last three months, the overall market is down almost 1%; February saw a slight uptick of 0.1%.

With the market in a precarious state, you've got three options:

Buy: Has the market reached the bottom? Are luxury watches available at a 40% discount?

Hold: The market has stabilised, but should I hold on to achieve better margins?

Listen to market experts, and you can find support for each option — things are really unpredictable now.
