For an investment you need to be going down the lines of something like a Rolex BLNR GTM, or try and get yourself on the waiting list for new releases, something that you can buy and flip.
I wouldnt do any of that, I would just buy the watch I want, wear it and enjoy it and then hand it down.

The classic 41mm 300m Professional 'James Bond' Seamaster. Quartz and automatic. The latter fetches more but the former is on the rise. Discontinued I believe, which will always prop up s/hand values. Average is about £1100 for a reasonable one - up to £1500+ for a recently serviced & boxed example, but some jokers try and ask £3K+ for them. I paid £825 for mine (Quartz) in 2003.
£320 to service the sodding thing at Goldsmiths every few years.

Hmm. 3k. Don’t think so :signLOL:
Servicing prices must have gone up, I paid 320 for my Auto to be done last year. Came back looking like it was brand new.

Use Tesco clubcard vouchers, you can hse them to buy Goldsmiths vouchers. Would cost you just over £100 in Tesco vouchers as present exchange rate is x3....look it up. :happy2:

Aye. Full service includes a new strap and mechanism parts. Minor service is just seals and battery.
