For your info. What I was trying to say is that watch purchased with intention to hedge is not feasible if you are still into watches.
Money gained from sales is definitely not a gain when you are purchasing your next piece because price has already gone up for the other piece as well.
When i think about hedging and profitting, watches does not do it. There is no substantial gain from watches in this range. Unlike properties (during the boom time), it was virtually a 1 to 1 gain.
Example. With 40k downpayment for a 400k condo, you could sell at 600k upon completion. After deducting all expenses, 40k makes you at least 150k from the sales.
With 40k watch, three years down the line with malaysian ringgit still in free fall. I doubt you can sell for even 60k.
To each his own thoughts on money management.
