A watch as an investment

I got a casio watch from amazon which probably worked out 7 quid. Reminds me of the 80s ones and I love it. My wife wears a crappy fit bit that she has to charge every other day and I will probably not replace my battery for 2 years.

My old man has watches that are close to 8 grand. Mad bastard

need advice as my son wants to invest in a watch and as I and he know practically nothing about them I thought I'd ask you guys.

He's seen a hublot classic fusion men's watch but it's £7300 and I've never heard of them so I'm trying to put him off. Surely for that price he can get something that is better ? I told him he's need insurance and I think it's expensive to get batteries etc replaced isn't it

Residuals on Hublot watches aren't the best.

If you mean "invest" in the true sense of the word, then a watch isn't a good investment (barring proper vintage or military pieces, which will be more much than 7k anyway). If you mean "invest" as in to indulge but call it an investment so as not feel guilty about it, then Rolex is probably the better bet. Residuals on stainless Rolex sports models are second to none.9

On the flipside, I saw my bank manager today and he was in bits because his dad has a few days left to live with a terminal brain tumour. His advice to me was to spend spend spend, his dad lived frugally and planned his whole working life for his retirement in a few years time, but will never live to see it.

So on that basis, f**k it and go with your son to buy the Hublot he's lusting after!
