Watch Crew: What to buy?

[quote=“theblue,post:159,topic:34295"”]

many people here don’t appear to understand that your total ownership cost of a $5000 watch may only be like $200 if you buy slightly used and sell a few years later in good shape.

yet the same people will spend $200 on a watch that’s worth nothing 5 minutes after they buy it.

and you’re the crazy one joe.

Yeah, I posted that a page or two ago. The haters don’t seem to care. :bloated:

This is also why I love buying things like high-end headphones or audio equipment - especially used. Sure, I might have spent $300 on a set of headphones, but I sold them 6 months later for as much or more than I paid for them. As long as you aren’t neglecting investments to buy toys, things like watches are a great hobby with a big cost of entry, but low overall cost if you want to recoup your money.
