How much does buying from massdrop affect it's resale value? I mean selling we have to be Frank about where it is purchased from and provide documentation. Seeing its from a grey market source will definitely affect value

ZQowIt's not like the watch is engraved with "massdrop" on the back. At this stage, I'd venture that at least half of all watches that aren't microbrands or cheap quartz are purchased gray market. I've been buying/flipping watches for a few years now. Most of my purchases are gray market or used and it's never made a difference when I decide to sell. That being said, I sell based on what I paid for the watch minus depreciation. I don't base my asking price on MSRP because that would be dishonest and because only uninformed or profligate people pay MSRP for relatively affordable - say under $5K - watches. The only caveat is if the watch is rare or limited edition and that creates extra demand. Then you can adjust your asking price upwards based on what the market will bear.
