The Watch as Investment
Some watches appreciate. Here is the honest reality.
What Appreciates
- Discontinued references: popular models stop production
- Limited editions: genuine scarcity
- Vintage excellent condition: original pieces
- Complete sets: box + papers add 15-30%
What Depreciates
- New retail: 20-40% immediately
- Budget mechanicals: 40-60% — no secondary market
- Modified watches: mods reduce value
The Advice
Buy watches you enjoy. Appreciation is a bonus, not the plan. Our range sits where enjoyment matters more than speculation. See our investment guide.
