Buy gold...
I've got a friend who wears a gold rolex datejust that's probably 30 years old, anyway, he says if you're gonna buy a watch, buy a solid gold one, because if you ever need to eat or a bed to sleep in and you need to hock or sell it, the "guts" (movement) is worthless, but the solid gold casing (and bracelet, unless you have a leather strap) can be weighed and you should get the value of the going price of gold.

That kind of puts things in perspective as far as this silly watch stuff, eh?

i know the question was about market value, but it seems to me that gold vs. ss would also depend on the particular watch. some just look better, to me at least, in one metal or the other. i think a day-date looks great in white gold. submariner looks gre...
