Horological Meandering

i find this very interesting especially when this article aim to “educate” consumers.

speculative articles like this gets rid of the joy of watch collecting. just look at the "R" forum and how the passion of collecting is gone over there.

.....when you say the "R Forum", you do not mean the one on this forum. Best, Joe

I wasn't referring to the "R" forum here.

Most of the brands listed can be had for huge discounts.

that record breaking 2499 Patek Asprey was never bought for investment The fact that it is now very valuable was a consequence of the rise in watch collecting It wil be sad if a watch is only judged by its investment potential Just my thoughts

This is especially systemic for Rolex, PP and AP.

start to dominate the pleasure of any collecting passion. Personally I think that the article is very poorly written and inaccurate. If you want to invest your money you will be better off doing it in something else.

And ostensibly the Patek in photo costs $10k. If they are selling for those prices, sign me up for 3.

When the word “investment” is used. For all the marketing BS we’re exposed to by the brands, that is the polar opposite of what “luxury” is. My 2 cents...
