not everyone have a few Rolex and IWC etc here.
my high sch friend own 50 Rolex and few Pam here and there, how he find all that money. work!
savings U say? no idea, thats his biz not mine.

wat to headache?
its like getting a scratch on a car or scratch on expensive shoes.
headache also like that.

buy expensive stuff and little damage and lose sleep over it.
wow... no life man.

well it depends on the degree of headache right?
break up or get divorce also heartache, some lose sleep, some F it or ache for 1hr and start a new life almost ASAP.
no pt asking of will U feel heartache for  if it meant little to one. 

certainly, if u care way too much U wouldn't get things that is expensive and would get damage if u are careless.
watch scratch, gold ring jewelry scratches, car also scratches, house also get need repairs from time to time. even small things like shoes also get damaged. still U see ppl buying over US$2K shoes.

from your post seem like U will feel the pain for a long time. if u think, even no scratch, value drop every single day, wouldn't that be more heart pain. just walk out from shop and value drop by 30%!!!! that is a kick in the heart man.

many ppl asking for service, so long its mechanical U need to send it for service.
buy an BMW and every 3mths U need to send in for service. Oil get changed, brake pad worn out, etc, value depreciate every single day.
its just life.. look past that boy.

look at it as the price drop if its pre-own, to your advantage as potential next owner.
if its a model you really like + its good condition + reasonable price,  there is nothing to value about when it comes to value.  Nowadays, whatever not related to property you sell after owning will be lower in value...

but those high end rare timepieces like PP, AP, VC are different story....

yes! thats why u benefit from buying it!
when U sell it again, no way to tell if U are not the 1st owner if U don't say it no one really know.
warranty card usually don't have owner info. At least no one really fill that in.
you lose min amount of $$ when U do sell it again.
