Why do APs not hold their value as well or appreciate like Rolex or Patek?

I have enough of bloomberg during my working hours. Seriously, I prefer to enjoy wearing my watches rather than getting obsessed with the monetary value of what is essentially a luxury purchase past, present and future. So let these guys continue

No kidding. I buy watches to enjoy them. I understand that I will lose some money if I decide to sell them. It's not a cheap hobby and I accept the costs associated with it. For those who are too risk averse on future values, they need to maybe find a new hobby IMHO. I'm not trying to be an arse. Just being real about it.
