Owning a nice watch

You'd have to wait a long time to see any kind of return on a tag, even the automatic ones.
You're right, they are nice, but overpriced to start with.
Rolex aside, if I was looking for an investment piece, I'd be buying the earliest omega speedmaster I could get my hands on, with provinence. Or an early seamaster chronograph, or breitling wise, a nice navitimer, or first edition aerospace.
I wouldn't bother with anything new, unless a few nos skx's came along.

A good mate of mine is selling a nice Omega Seamaster.. Not the 007 version but very similar.. I might buy that as I can wear it and not devalue it as it’s at a good price

Lost my brother last month as I'm sure I've said on here... He left me a gift from his death in service policy and I have no immediate plans to spend the money but it would cover the retail price on a Rolex Daytona... I put my name down for one about a year ago but don't hold out much hope of getting the call as i've got zero history with the dealer.

I've thought about the Omega Moon Watch but haven't looked at one yet

A friend of mine works for P&O and with her staff discount I can get a Tag Monaco for around half the retail price (around £2,800 with the saving) when she's next on board next month but I'm not sure that A. it's actually an investment and B. whether I'd always consider it as a substitute

There's no rush to invest in anything but I do want to put it to good use

Off topic but I did swap his season card over to my lads name as we sat together at the Etihad but sadly I had zero joy trying to keep the points he'd amassed even though it was staying in the family.. Rules are rules I guess

Hi mate. I’m pretty sure the modern day Tags dont appreciate in value so if it’s an investment you’re looking for steer well clear.
 
Even if I won the lottery, I just couldn't imagine me spending mega money on a watch. Some of the tags under 2k are very nice watches. Something like this.....

It’s not an investment necessarily but as I’m buying something with money our kid left I’d like something that at least holds its own.. the Seamaster I was offered for £1500 seems to be a no brainer .. he just needs to find the box as it’s been put somewhere safe when they moved… it’s 100% legit though .. I’ve known him for years and he used to wear it at the office

I do like a good well made watch,at present my collection of the top of my head is around £50,000,in that collection I have among others,a Rolex Explorer 2 ( polar dial) a Omega Seamaster 300,a Breitling Avenger, a Zenith Grande Date Moon phase,and a Tag Huerr Monoco,still after another few to complete the collection

Good, the 007 version is the last thing you want.
