Well said. Watch gazing and collecting is our favorite pastime and caters to various category of human kind.
To some, where $$ is not an issue, may not concern on its (watch) return value.
(Don’t get me wrong, no body in particular here). But in reality, many out here are just satisfied his/her passion by flipping watches.
The urge to own a holy grail and release it when the time is ripe is a matter of perception. New passion to acquisition another new toy is a daily affair to most of us here. (Don’t you agree with me?)
To do that he/she need fund/s to roll. And you often hear or read - no matter how hard or hate it, he /she had to let go his one time holy grail to fund another in coming holier than greater pc.
To cushion the losses, many tend to justify on the resale’s value. so the next acquisition is in line.
I know its very sensitive issue here – that’s it really hurt to state the true and I speak for myself here.
At one time, I have been poison(ed) kau2 and had with me with about $$ worth of watches that equivalent to a (my) year’s salary. During that period, (like in a zombie mode) I have to hold my vacation/s, my other leisure aspects of life, neglected many issues and whatnots.
Day in, day out and daydreaming about watches and nothing. Even the beautiful lass next to me are no beauty compared to the watch I am holding. It was indeed a very poisonous potion. Fortunately, I have come to my senses since then. God bless.
So, the bottom line is, always buy rationally. Never ever buy under emotional stress.
