Since when was buying watches an investment vehicle? It is an expensive hobby. Watches are depreciating assets and should be treated as such IMO. Buy what you like and enjoy it. If you lose some money on it if you decide to sell it, think of it as the cost you paid for the use of it during your time of ownership. Life is too short and how much we could lose on a luxury item should be the least of our worries. Just my humble opinion..
