Some of them are a good investment Fifi. Yes, you can re-sell them sometimes for a profit if you know a good dealer. I only buy what I like.

There is a guy on You Tube called ArchieLuxury ( ArchieLuxuryChannel ) who likes watches and deals and sells also but he likes a few brands that I don't like, like Patek, whilst very expensive I think they are old fashioned.

I think he is a bit of a watch snob, for example you can get a good Seiko for 650 dollars but he thinks they are crap.

Still, I like his non-watch related videos in Bangkok, and also his "Why Brisbane Sucks" video, "Auckland Sucks", "Sydney Sucks" etc, funny stuff.

I think a husband would be impressed with a nice Oris, mid-range Grand Seiko ( about 2700-2800 dollars ) or a nice Omega.

Some Omega Sea Master is good, but they became known as a bit of a wank watch after appearing in a James Bond film. you know "007" and all that stuff.
