Golden Ellipse 5738P.

I like simple watches.

It's amazing the valuation Patek watches have had over the last 15 years. They went from very expensive to way-way-expensive, I think due to Chinese market. Good investment watch.

Not to sound disagreeable, but that is never a good reason to buy something.

Well there are a few marques if you buy them right, you won't lose money I should've said. Replacement cost are higher than when originally bought. Heck, I can sell my IWC used for more than I paid for it 15 years ago...

It'll be interesting to see how the market goes with Eta remaining exclusvie to Swatch group brands. Several marques have been scrambling to find replacements that'll be a direct fit. Tooling for a new case, and movement parts are $$$.

I think I agree with dont buy a watch as an investment. While I cant afford a $10k fashion statement (yet), there are many things that appreciate faster than watches or even Gold. Ferrari's come quickly to mind the used ones often sell for double what they were new 2 years ago.
