Brawn, investment or worthless?

If for example you where offered say somethhing like an official Brawn Gp watch which costs circa £4.5k now, would it appreciate or depreciate given the recent revolations

It'll be a Graham, presumably.

Sink like a stone.

Why would you buy a 4.5k Brawn watch but more importantly who made the watch and came up with THAT price? Madness. Does it come with a signed naked photo of Branson?

I wouldn't, it was something i came across, it just got me thinking about it, also its more like £5k!

I was just curious as to whether the Brawn merchandise (the low volume limited edition stuff) would be something that would appreciate in years to come or something that would be more useful as a paper weight.

For example if someone has just bought one yesterday......

In the case of watches isn't it as much the movement that will retain it's value?

I'm not an expert in the price of high end stuff, but some of these :

...Were limited edition and sold unworn didn't hold their value.

Different brand and all that but a bit of an idea.

Oh, and never look at Blowers website if you have anything to get done in the next half hour. Quality stuff.

Not necessarily - Panerais have amazing retained value and they generally have extremely ordinary movements.

Or indeed at all really - its the whole watch I would say. In some cases the same watch may have had different movements over time and sometimes one movement is valued over another, e.g. Daytonas with the Zenith El Primero movement seem to be valued higher than those with the Rolex movement but its hardly a massive difference.

Grahams have pretty ordinary movements I think - modified Valjoux 7750 if I'm not mistaken.
