Awesome purchase. What's more impressive is that you are in the Netherlands! You can get that rose gold yacht club here in US for probably $18.5K....I bet it was near double that in NL.

My dad has quite a unique collection.
The one I love the most is his 1163 Autavia Heuer 'Siffert'. Really nice. He's turning me on to old '60's and '70's Chronos. Zenith El Primero? Yum. He recently sold his Viceroy Autavia Heuer. Pretty cool stuff... the history of the chrono and auto racing. Siffert in particular. I just picked up a 1968 Heuer 92 Valjoux Chrono ... it's the long lost cousin to the Carerra. Beautiful watch.

The vast majority of people who wear expensive watches don't actually have a lot of money. That's not a knock on anyone in this thread; it's just a statistical fact.
However, that being said, if you wear an expensive watch there's a greater chance that you may be wealthy compared to the general population. For example, something like 1% of the general population are liquid millionaires (assets - debt not including primary residence). However, among the Rolex-wearing population, that jumps to 6% (the highest among all watch brands). Among the Audemar Piguet-wearing population, that figure jumps to 5%. PP is around 5% as well, as is IWC. All other brands fall below these figures. So yeah it's weakly correlated but those figures also mean that 94% of Rolex owners and 95% of AP owners aren't millionaires. I was actually kind of surprised when I learned the statistics. Beforehand I would've guessed that 75 or 80% of AP/PP/IWC wearers are millionaires given that those watches routinely cost in excess of $10,000. |
