Stop worrying about this stuff and buy the thing.
Not that this should be taken as the norm nor your motivating factor towards making a purchase, but my collection is up 40% and the oldest piece I own was purchased in 2014...

I agree that watches are not an “investment” in the traditional sense, but substantial returns may nonetheless be made
