I bought a Rolex watch 18 years ago for $1875.00 that is now worth about 3,500. I bought a Breitling watch about 10 years ago for $10,500 that is worth about $18,000 and I recently bought an Audemars Piquet watch for $45,000 that has a list price of $112.000. I am quite sure that the Audemars will be worth quite a bit more than I paid for it in 10 years.
I still own all three watches and plan on passing them down to my children.
My logic is I have beautiful watches that goes up in value, how many other nice things can you buy that will increase in value?
I buy my watches used because they seem to take a big hit early on but then they actually go up in value.
