And like you I have many APs, Pateks, Rolex, etc...with bracelets and in the SS sports watch category. If you count vintage and modern, I might have nearly a hundred watches that fit into this category Jim š¤£š
We cannot compare one to another as they are not comparable, especially in this ridiculous hype and social media driven market.
I buy what I like Jim. Value proposition is an afterthought for me at this point in my life as I buy watches for the passion and pleasure of owning them, not if they will increase or keep relative value.
If I wanted to invest and make more money, believe me, I wouldn't be buying watches š¤£š¤£
In any case and like you said, to each their own.
Buy what you like and will enjoy.
Everything else doesn't really matter š¤·āāļø
