Im after another watch for casual but also smart wear.
I have found a 'collectable' watch, with a limited run, so hopefully it could be viewed as an investment
Its not that much imo, but would you pay £480 for a watch?
Thoughts.

Wouldn't pay £480 for a watch and I don't see it as an investment either.

The one I got for my 21st was £400, I wouldnt really say its an investment as you arent gonna make any money off it, but it is nice to have a good watch and I wear mine every day 
Thats the one I got...

watches for that sort of price will never be worth much or keep their value, more lik kkk's worth of rolex, tag etc will hold value if limited run

Look like they use ETA movements, 480 is good for a watch using one of these.

ETA currently make movements for the majority of swiss watches, including the big names costing thousands.
They are stopping this though so there won't be many using eta movements in the future.
I'd not buy is expecting to make money, buy if you like the watch and it should keep its value if you ever had to sell.

No, of course, im not buying with a view to make money on, just safe in the knowledge it will always be worth more than I paid for it.
