Hi Johtaja,

One of the important tenets of The PuristS/PuristSPro is civility and courtesy of tone in all posts.  All forum members when signing on for an account to post here agree to abide by the following code (amongst others):

Please keep the tone of the posts courteous and respectful. Think of this as a virtual cocktail or dinner party - don't write anything that you wouldn't say to someone in person. The anonymity of the internet is NOT an acceptable excuse for boorish or rude behaviour.

The tenor of your post here and in certain prior responses has not been in keeping with the above.  As you have started posting relatively recently, perhaps these posts are simply outliers.  Moving forward, kindly keep the terms of service (TOS) in mind when you post.  Forum members in breach of the TOS are subject to a sitewide ban with no prior notice.

Best value royal oak (investment wise) for under 20k USD

That's one perspective.

buying a watch for investment purposes is like buying a car for investment purposes. the only chance you may have in seeing an appreciation in your lifetime is if the item is a super-limited edition today and thus initially only offered to preferred clien... 

Great response.

Of course any watch you buy and actually wear will also depreciate due to use unless you are super careful, which would be a pain for most. That said, it seems like all major brands are moving forward fairly rapidly in price. I'd love to be able to pick u...
