Such a GOOD point! There are a lot of investments that have quadrupled in value over the last decade, and there are many more that are likely to do so in the next decade. Buy those as investments, not watches.

Only if you could go back in time and buy it a decade ago...the Kermits are way too spicy right now. Sadly the Rolex boat has likely left for new collectors. It gets into crazy speculation for the most popular models.

I would not buy it as an investment unless you literally already have hundreds of thousands safely invested and diversified.

The mentality should be:
“I like this watch and want to own it and wear it. If it goes up in value, great, but if it becomes worth a tenth of what I paid that’s cool too”.

Watches arent investments, theyre accessories/ jewelry. If you like watches and have the cash, spend it but dont trick yourself with a false narrative to justify your purchase. If you wanted to buy a watch as a true investment you would want to keep mint in a safe for 10-20 years.

Daemon just meekly listening to his brother after those theatrics/heroics in the previous episodes? The king suddenly realizing with perfect clarity how he’s been manipulated by his hand?).
