Similar to collecting stamps, rare coins, gold, wines etc.
Their value appreciate faster than inflation.
Anyone here have much experience with this?

Mechanical watches only. I recently sold a large collection of Seikos and others. Look for multi-dials, multi-colored dials, the Seiko Bellmatic will bring you some big $. Stay away from Seiko Divers as they are still in production. Seiko No. 5 movement is basically worthless as it was the workingman's watch and they made a gazillion of them. Rolex is OK if you know what you are doing but do not buy late models from dealers as you will get it up the ass.
Flyer's watches are good but only and let me repeat, "ONLY!" mechanical movements.
If it takes a battery, ignore it.
