Thanks for sharing this film but, are these people really watch collectors or are they watch investors? I might have missed something and/or be completely wrong by what I took away from watching the film but, I believe that collectors should be less worried about resale value and more concerned with the art and craftsmanship that a watch brings to those who appreciate them. While that was important to those in the film, I kept getting the money theme over and over again. Perhaps I was reading more of that into it than was actually there.

As a long time collector, I enjoy all watches. Yes, I own 2 Rolex, a number of Omega and other higher end watches but, I also collect and wear, not so high end watches too. I do draw the line at plastic watches though... To be on my wrist, I must be made of better materials.

Just my impression but, did anyone else come away with that feeling? Again thank you, Graham for sharing.
