nvtip -- 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?
