Was just on a Zoom call with a colleague. He's 26, lives in Utrecht and is worth over $50m (wealth from cryptocurrency). We've discussed watches before, in depth. He has shown an interest in luxury watches but has a huge collection of shitty £5 to £50 fashion watches.
He just mentioned in passing that he bought a watch a few years ago as an investment and was wondering if it was worth any more than he paid for it. Off he goes to his safe and back he comes with a pristine full yellow gold Submariner from the year 2000. Full set, looks never worn.
How the fuck did this not come up in conversation before? :D
He asked about good watches to invest in. I have a feeling he will be making the steel sport model shortage even worse. Shame he has no interest in actually wearing them though. Not a show-off kind of chap.
