Spending £17k on one back then and having it worth £12k now is a pretty poor gamble.

No such thing as a sure bet in this game, there is always a chance that falls happen.
Indeed, but I wasn’t really thinking about the madness of the last four years or so.

Now it seems that relatively normal service is being resumed, buying most models at or around retail should see little or no depreciation over the next five to ten years, making the ownership of the watch almost free.

As I said earlier though, whilst this has been the case for many years (the last few excepted), there is no guarantee that it will be the case in the future.
