Hey folks - my first post. Newbie to the Forum.
I've heard many people say that watches aren't an investment. It occurs to me that this isn't always the case. Had you established early relationships with makers like Roger Smith, Shapiro, Voutilainen, and the like, you would have done quite well.
So my thought is to choose some young indie watchmakers that I think will have bright futures, get on their waitlists and commission watches. My early research shows that the game is to make a deposit, pay along the way, and expect a 3-5 year time horizon before receiving the watches.
I'm sure I'm not the first to consider this. Would appreciate your thoughts!
Cheers, JA
