Do luxury watches really “appreciate”? Let’s get real. I’m Chris Warnes, owner of Warrior Time (full-time watch dealer since 2017), and today we’re breaking down investment vs appreciation—and why “safe” matters more than “moonshot” for most buyers.

Using real client stories (shoutout Brandon and his AP 15407ST), we look at how discontinued models can move, why a $120K grail behaves differently than a $5K piece, and what “exposure” you should be willing to stomach at different price points. We’ll compare short-term flips at MSRP (GMTs, Daytonas, Nautilus, Royal Oak Jumbo) vs long-term holds like the Rolex Hulk 116610LV or AP 15305 Openworked—if you buy right.

In This Episode:

-Investment vs Appreciation (they’re not the same)

- Safe vs Not Safe price ranges ($5K–$15K vs six-figure pieces)

- Short-term flip models (GMT, 1908, Panda, Jumbo, Nautilus)

- Long-term plays: Hulk 116610LV, AP 15305ST/OR

- What “exposure” really means when buying a watch

💬 Drop a comment: Which model do you think has upside?

✨ A NEO Vintage Datejust Classic ✨🕶️ The '80s Miami Vice Two-Tone 36mm Rolex

In today’s video, we take a close look at a true neo-vintage gem: the iconic two-tone 36mm Rolex Datejust. Think Miami Vice vibes — steel and gold, timeless swagger. 🏖️🕶️

Why do I LOVE this watch?

✅ Price: On the secondary market, you can score a complete set for well under $10k — typically between $5k and $8k depending on condition and dial (with diamond markers pushing to the higher end).

✅ Design: It still looks nearly identical to today’s modern 36mm Datejust — Rolex knows how to keep it classic. Most people would never guess these watches are now 30-40 years old! That’s the beauty of timeless design.

What to watch out for:⚠️ Condition matters! You’ll want to avoid common issues like patina dials, saggy bracelets, aftermarket parts, or poor movement performance.

A good example is worth the hunt. Quick Specs:

🔸 Movement: Rolex 3135 (50-hr power reserve)

🔸 Case: 36mm steel with gold accents

🔸 Water Resistance: 100m

🔸 Production years: 1988 - 2005

FINAL THOUGHTS:On my Rolex scale, this vintage Datejust earns a 9.2/10 — and that’s a high rating coming from me! If you’re into vintage vibes with modern reliability, this one’s worth a serious look
