But why would you want to own a brand just to impress others. It should be about making yourself happy

Rolex is what every idiot with money and no clue buys. They appraise well but always let me know that the person wearing it probably knows garbage about watches &/or has no taste.
The other brands you mentioned I don't care for except IWC. They make a couple I like but I wouldn't own them or any watch other than Patek as an investment.

Personally, when I get my $$ right, I have my eye on this A Lange Sohgne for $90,000 that is on the first page of my latest Robb Report issue. Platinum with ebony alligator strap. YES SIR!!!!!!
However, in order to purchase this in good conscience, I need to win at least 600k  ((LOL)).......... |

As long as there are inidividuals who are so wealthy that (THEY ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE ECONOMY AT LARGE) then there will always be a market for PREMIUM/EXCLUSIVE Valuables. jewelels, artwork, rare bottles of champagne. etc.. |
