I have a fascination for moonphase watches and I have an active search saved on chrono24 for Moonphase. Usually, on any given day, maybe 20-30 new watches are added to that site category. My search alerts me. and I sort by Newest.

About 3 days ago, I noticed instead of getting an update for 24 new moonphase, it was 75. I clicked and checked it out - most were extremely high end, Patek Phillipe, Breguet, Audemars in the high 70-350K range.

2 days ago, I get another update. 111 new moonphase in the last 24 hours. I click… Patek Phillips, Breguet, Audemars, JLC, Vacheron, Glashutte, A. Lange, Rolex… prices similar.

1 day ago, I get an update, 52 new moonphase. Same results.

As usual I’m cruising around YT looking for fun videos, and I come across THIS:

6th quarter of price drops. What we’re seeing, and I’m sure it’s true in other categories, is a huge wave of sellers getting out of a crashing high end luxury watch market. Good for us scrappers.
