If you are looking for value and comparing it against getting 3 DJs (lovely watch) or 100,00 Casios then the watch is probably not for you TBH.
Thanks for this-I think I understand what you are saying and my initial question was not really meant to relate to financial value-more to the overall value/meaning of a collection. To use your terms-the emotional value/attachment that we place on a watch. I have not handled an AP, and am genuinely interested in "how much better" it might feel, over an already damn fine datejust- and then how to incorporate that, or not, in a collection.
