FAQ

Are iced-out AP watches a good investment?

Factory gem-set APs (e.g., Rainbow or Frosted models) hold value well thanks to limited production; aftermarket iced-out APs rarely appreciate and should be bought for personal enjoyment, not ROI.

Are iced-out watches worth it?

They’re worth it for bold aesthetics and craftsmanship; factory-set pieces command strong premiums, but aftermarket bust-downs lose the brand warranty and often resell for less than the cost of the base watch plus stones.
