I have owned watches that were worth more than my vehicles in the past but currently it is the other way around.

homerish · 30 October 2017, 12:04 AM

I drive a honda accord i bought for 40k usd 8 years ago now worth 7k my watch is worth 9500usd. But interesting thread as i think people with luxury cars should have expensive watches as they have disposable income, as for me i dont have enough money to get bouth so o just buy expensive watches. Waiting for the daytona ln to show up.

Thought it could be interesting, depreciation always a factor with either(cars infinitely more,usually) and transportation outside of metro areas or what you need to drive. Some people actually needing tool watches may have a reason for a more expensive watch (or an excuse for one) keep it coming post photos of your daily

joli160 · 30 October 2017, 12:17 AM

Only my G-shock is below market value of the car

GB-man · 30 October 2017, 12:19 AM

hmm normally my cars are more expensive but given the hype train my Patek might be worth more than my 4runner. Weird.

SMD · 30 October 2017, 12:25 AM

Haven’t owned a car in 20 years so yes.

yannis · 30 October 2017, 12:50 AM

It's worth more than all my cars sold together

SDRider · 30 October 2017, 01:02 AM

Nope, even factoring in depreciation my car is worth well more than my watch collection. Now if we add my wife’s watch to the collection the gap narrows but if we add her car then it widens even further.

gulfstream69xr7 · 30 October 2017, 01:35 AM

My Rolex and my daily driver are about a tie. Either of my weekend toys is worth more than my entire collection of wrist watches, and the toys appreciate most every year.

bdex75 · 30 October 2017, 02:07 AM

Have probably about the same amount in the watch collection as the truck. Not a single watch worth what the truck is. I drive/entertain for a living so I keep a relatively new truck that I generally lease.

Not when I bought it but now.....yes.
Lease return for ~29k in 2008
At 145k miles in 2017. Worth about ~3k
2005 530i

PascalSwiss · 30 October 2017, 02:40 AM

They worth about the same.
But counting insurance, taxes, gas and services, my car costs more then my watch.

Tz1983 · 30 October 2017, 03:39 AM

Depends. Would you say a 5711 SS is worth more than a 2011 335i convert with 57k miles? It’s close

Watches take the cake tho.....

Frank G · 30 October 2017, 04:26 AM

Yep. I live in Amsterdam so my daily rig is powered by my two legs! It’s a nice one, but the GMT II LN Ceramic is worth a bit more

Until my Model 3 arrives, most every watch I own is worth more than my daily driver (2007 E550).

My daily driver is pretty humble, 2012 Toyota Tacoma Base but for now it's still worth more than my 16710 GMT.

nawarra · 30 October 2017, 02:04 PM

About half a price of my car in US. Should hold its value better lol.

gabegd · 31 October 2017, 01:16 AM

I would like to think that my watches match my car. I do have a cheaper car though whenever I'm taking a long drive and/or roadtrip

izamore3 · 31 October 2017, 03:43 AM

Nope, never

superdog · 31 October 2017, 03:56 AM

Not for me.

Cars are my preferred money pit anyway.

zama · 31 October 2017, 05:36 AM

I used to have 3 watches worth more than my car, but have upgraded the car (not that I use it every day) and as mentioned earlier cars are very expensive in Australia so does not take much to push over the edge.

CamSLC · 31 October 2017, 06:39 AM

I think my 5711 is worth more then my year old truck now.

SouthFLJay · 31 October 2017, 06:53 AM

No, my car is worth more than my most expensive watch. I don't daily drive a very expensive car either (Volvo XC60). If you add up all the watches together it still comes up less than what I paid for the car, and that's not including my Sunday driver. It will probably stay that way for a while as well, unless I see an incredible deal on one of the watches I'm chasing at the moment.

droptopman · 31 October 2017, 07:28 AM

No, I am hopeless with cars. The dreaded depreciating assets money pit. Buy a new one every 2-3 years. Last couple were leases which took some of the depreciation sting out. Between golf clubs and cars...just light some money on fire.

I think Rolex is the only appreciating or at least stable asset/hobby that I am into.
