I've spent ~£5.5k on a 'Seiko'
I've also spent ~£2.5k on a Rolex
The Rolex has gone up in value (maybe 60%, though a lot of that is exchange rates) and the Seiko has gone down in value (about 5%, though it's only 8 months old so too soon to tell long term value).
I don't plan on selling either.
The Seiko feels nicer to wear, i get more compliments on it (I don't remember the last time anyone complimented me on the Rolex) and it's clearly the higher quality of the two. I wear the Rolex more often because it feels less special but also because I don't have to worry about it.
It's possible to like both; I like both.
