I am currently thinking of starting a watch collection. My budget is around (+/-) $1,200 per year. I am looking to buy one watch per year or maybe every two years if the one year budget is not enough. I know i won’t be able to get any high end watches but would like to buy something that keeps its value or even increases (is this even possible with watches in this price category?).

  • what brands should I avoid and what not?
  • any specific models recommended?
  • what is a good place to buy a watch and how can I determine if it is a fair price?
  • at what point should I invest into one of those automatic watch boxes?

Thanks!

    Hmm. Maaaaybe, if you bought like, an old vintage watch in good condition that was interesting in a way that won’t fade away? Like an antique Vulcain Cricket or a railroad-age Ball pocket watch. Other than that, though I think you’re out of luck.
