You're right, I just based it on chrono24 listing prices - no idea if it will sell at all but i'm also not trying to sell it.
I don't understand why resale should always factor into ultimate worth. For an investment - absolutely; but why does it have to factor so much into buying something you like and want to keep?
Soul-
For me resale etc is just the icing on the cake.
Knowing you can wear something every day and enjoy and it will still be holding it's value if you do want to unload it / part ex against something else, is a great feeling. -
You’re right; if you plan to keep forever then the resale value does not matter.
But for someone like me who collects watches, it’s very important. I wouldn’t have the balls to pay thousands of pounds for a watch if I thought it might reduce in value by hundreds. I just couldn’t afford that.

A 5% drop in value in the seiko is purely hypothetical. Try and sell it.
It will be worth what someone is prepared to pay you for it.
I had a client who wanted to part ex a recently purchased Grand Seiko against an Omega aqua terra day date. I said no as after I asked about nobody would even bid me ANYTHING on it. And I was the third or fourth Omega stockist who had turned him away.
