Anecdata and not fully fully researched as I have no plans to sell my watch, but very shortly after I bought mine, the manufacturer raised their base prices, to the extent where it appears, even although I don’t have the most desirable model, to have covered the deprication I face from wearing the watch daily. At best it’s held it’s value, at worst it’s not ‘lost’ much either.

Maybe yours is way more expensive, but the $300 brands I buy tend to go down in price as new models come out.

Its a fashion accessory to me, dont even use it for time as we have smart phones nowadays. Just the skeleton looks cool.

I'd say the minimum requirement for a watch to be able to hold it's value is the following: Contain an in-house Swiss automatic movement.

There might be exceptions, but there will be very very few.
