There is an astounding difference between a watch that increases in value and a watch that is just merely expensive. One is an investment that could procure major financial gains in the coming decades. The other is a showpiece- a trophy wife that ages as the years pass on, and not like a good wine.

Contrary to popular belief, Rolex watches are not necessary safe investment choices. Certain types of Rolex’s are show pieces, and lack that investment bite that requires them to actually gain value over time instead of stay stagnant.

The other strategy for investing is to go rare or go home. Some watches were made in such exclusive small production runs that they are incredibly rare. Others have some historical context, such as one worn by an inventor or person of historical importance. These watches are not rare or vintage alone- they are special. World War II watches have become a huge collector’s item, and garner a good rate.
