Sometimes I get the feeling that nice watches are turning into the ADV.1 of wheels, and the Ed Hardy of t-shirts.

I think for many, that is true. But for still many others, it is about the watch itself and what it embodies or represents. I think a lot of M3/M4 owners actually like them because they are quietly impressive - not about flashiness or ostentation. I think truly great watches are the M's of watches. Some can be worth many times more than others, but the value is "under the hood". Don't give up on watches - give up on some of the owners. If you had to abandon products because some of the owners were idiots, you wouldn't be driving a BMW!
