You know - watches can be a good investment too. Especially when metal prices go sky high.
For example platinum watches I had bought - at the right prices, see here:
Buying a Rolex, Cartier, Patek Philippe or any other high end watch - Free EBAY, PayPal, Business and Law Forums - Ebay Suspension, PayPal Limited
around 2001 and 2002 are worth slightly more than what I paid, and when platinum was flying at $2000./ounce, were more a lot more.
Also some watches - especially ones with complications (perpetual calendars, tourbillons, chronographs) tend to go WAY up in value over time. For example almost any platinum or gold Patek perpetual calendar is worth more today than even its original retail price.
Also, classic watches. When I was a kid a friend of mine sold me a Rolex model 6265 Daytona
for $200. At the time, the watch was worth about a $1000. I guess. Maybe not even that, so it was a good deal but not the deal of the century.
Today that watch, maybe fifteen or twenty years later, is worth $25K. And its value briefly touched nearly $50K.
