>Decorated Quartz movements

Biggest watch meme?

Do any watches actually appreciate in value? Every mug with a rolex babbles on how it will gain money because it's limited edition, blah blah.

If you paid out of your ass for a quartz, you surely would want it to be decorated?

90% of them don't

Some of them do.

I'm sure someone will post that vid where an old man finds out his $200 Rolex GMT he bought after WW2 is now worth $40,000 because it had all the papers, the receipt, the chronometer rating slip, and it was a first production run.

I want to like this company as they're the only British watch company of note but all the make are shitters aren't they?

Oh yea okay. Over like 70 years and you have a good condition Rolex with all boxes and papers but what about shorter term?
