My good example: Lange One Moonphase 4 years ago. $17 or so as I recall, $32,000 now and $25k+ on the GM. Surely recoup my money after 4 years of enjoyment.
True, but as the prices for new watches go up so seems to go the used market (look what used SDs are going for right now with their recent price increase). With cars the price of the car will not start to escalate for 20-25 years (if you are lucky).
