I have a few watches, nothing really special, my Omega SMP probably being most expensive along with a few other bits and bobs.

I'd imagine my modest little collection is probably worth more than my 2006 120d with astronomical miles on it!

Anyone else?

Mine is. Simply, I use my watch more than my car these days... plus unless I buy something I can't afford, chances are I'll be losing more on the car than the watch.

Probably.

But then I have more watches than cars, and watches are cheaper to buy, but somehow more expensive to service.

Most cars do that funny thing called depreciation, many watches if bought correctly do that thing called appreciation...so of course you should spend more on a watch than a car, perfect economic sense if you ask me

No, because I have only broken my <£100 rule twice (Seiko 0634-5019 and Synchronar)

Umm, one of my watches cost more than one of my cars, does that count? Though it is the most expensive watch vs the cheapest car.

I think if you add them all together (on both sides) the cars would win though.

Watch collection = weekend car

I don't expect either to depreciate any/much more. :fingerscrossed:

Cars massively outweighing watches. Huge weakness for things of the 4 wheeled variety.

I suppose if I asked this in GG then the outcome would be much different.

Car value : nil (no car)

Hence watches worth more than car smile

My most expensive watch is a Speedmaster Professional worth about £1,400... so not worth more than either of my cars! I don't think I'd ever spend more on my watch than I would on a car!
