Collecting, long term: is there any value in collecting Japanese or stick with Swiss?
I was bitten by the "watch fever" bug about six months ago and since then have been buying watches only based on what I thought looked good (and with an affordable price). Now I want to use a little more logic and want to collect with a purpose. I have a real appreciation for mechanical watches in general and really like skeleton watches as well.
