Value is in the eye of the purchaser.
This is the most true statement that could be made. I don't buy a watch because it's going to rise in value. I buy it because I like it.
The point I think Gregory was trying to make is that when you compare some of the upper scale in-house movements finishing/manufacturing methods to the mass production and different levels of finishing offered on ETA movements, then maybe to some people certain Swiss brands are overpriced and not on the same level as brands that have a lot more hands on to their production. It's like comparing a Chevy to a Ferrari. The Ferrari is damn expensive and requires a specialist in Ferrari to maintain. Take a Chevy 350 to any respectable mechanic and they can fix what is wrong. To me the ETA 2824 is the Chevy 350 of the watch world. It can be as plain or as hopped up as you want it to be.
