Damn. I had high hopes for this thread. Watches, like most things, have a wide range of value. Some can be bought and they hold their value quite well. A $100k Patek is a better way to spend money than a $5K Omega. (Assuming you have enough liquidity to let that much money sit, while the watch appreciates.) After owning the Omega for a few years, you will lose a few thousand dollars, while with the Patek, you will likely have made many MANY thousands. Now, many people buying Pateks are of more modest than $1 Million/month incomes. Many make under $500K. Using $480k for rounding, at $40k per month, it would be 250% monthly income, but a pretty smart buy (again, assuming the right circumstances.)
