I would choose Bitcoin every single time.
Luxury items can depreciate just like any other material things and will never increase its worth again because of its demand since new models could be release in no time. Unlike in Bitcoin, it could pump so high and dump so low at the same time but at least you know that it's gonna pump again and you're waiting for something in return.

If I had enough money I would love to have a luxury watch collection but I would never prefer it over Bitcoin. Rich people mainly collect watches as a hobby and not necessarily as an investment that will generate them significant returns. A luxury item is not something that is really a necessity for anyone but there will always be a need for censorship resitant, decentralized money. Bitcoin being more accessible and having greater utility make it the better investment option.
Expensive watches can indeed be used as long-term investments, but to sell them we also have to be able to find people who are willing to pay for them. different from bitcoin where whenever we can enter the market to sell it. therefore I prefer to buy crypto according to my ability, because if you buy a mehaw watch you have to spend a lot of money first. but my boss because he doesn't understand crypto he prefers to buy luxury watches, and watches from 2000, currently 2x profit July 13, 2023, 04:25:54 AM

It is more about being a collector's item, especially if it is very expensive, as only a few will use it. This is like exotic and rare cars that most of the rich are collecting, but they are just putting them in their garage and not using them. But again, there are people who like doing business on it, like buy and sell, which is still an investment, but for me, we are the same, as I do prefer bitcoin because I have more knowledge of it than those luxury watches.

Luxury watches are indeed very good as long-term investments, and they can also be used as jewelry. however, personally, I am not much into luxury watches and prefer to invest in gold. So, in that choice, I'm more inclined to go with bitcoin. The reason is, with bitcoin, I can increase the value I have by trading. Even though it seems risky, I think owning expensive items for a long time is also risky. Also, I don't really know the market price of luxury watches, so, I prefer bitcoin.

A person who can use a luxury watch means that person has more money. Because people spend so much money behind the clock when they have a lot of money to spend in different places. People who own a luxury watch have enough power to invest so I don't think there is any need to sell them a luxury watch to invest. But if a common man is considered then it would be a much better decision for a common man to invest that money in Bitcoin than to buy a luxury watch. Because at the moment a common man does not buy a luxury watch but if he invests money then in the future he will be able to buy a few luxury watches with that amount of money. Therefore, buying a luxury watch would not be a good decision for a common man at this time.

I see where you're coming from! Luxury watches can actually be a cool investment option. They often fetch a nice profit when resold. Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Audemars Piguet are some top choices. But keeping in mind, trends change, and future generations might lean towards things like bitcoin. So, if I have to choose, i would go for an investment in bitcoin, digital assets, gold, stocks, or real estate.

I would buy a simple watch that meets my demands and buy Bitcoin. I think most of the members who visit this forum are also falling this mindset. The other one who buys luxury watches and also buys bitcoin don't visit forums like these and those who buy luxury watches instead of Bitcoin are already broke. 
There are many ways to waste your money. Luxury comes to appease the soul, but beyond that we should avoid it. To be honest, luxury buyers are few in number and most of them have a collecting habit which does not take into account costs or investments. Hence let them buy watches while we safely invest in Bitcoin for the future.

Imo luxury has huge connection or takes huge impact from trend and fashion. With no time, expensive luxury item could turn into expensive toy. Speaking about watches - yes give its owner some kind of a status. For example having a Rolex means that a person has achieved something in his life, even though its a just a popular brand. But, to have benefits from a status watches, its owner have to wear them. Which means there is chance of watches getting micro cracks, abrasions and etc. Their value drops due that. During current digital era, there is a risk that luxury watches might be some day replaced with modern ~1k smart watches. With luxury watches, owner must be ready, that not many will be able and willing to buy his watches. With Bitcoin - just few taps or clicks and your are ready to close a deal.
P.S. In matter of just owning luxury watches, I would say that $1 and $1kk shows same time.

I know that some people said buy a luxury watch is an investment, "The goods can be investments themselves - Some luxury products (watches in particular) are regarded as investments, and demand in the secondary market can increase the resale value of new products. The value of Rolex watches (unlisted) has supposedly outperformed every major asset class since 2011" - https://simplywall.st/article/luxury-brand-stocks-show-their-long-term-resilience
Tho it hard to sell in my opinion is not liquid not like stock or bitcoin crypto especially the market is running 24/7 no close and meaning we can sell anytime.
I have a friend that has luxury watch I mean not that luxury but he buys at above market price and when he try to sell its very hard 2 town and there is no buyer
I can also relate to your friend but on my part it’s not luxury watches but luxury bags that are very self-fulfilling to use. I have no doubts with that. However, when you decide to sell it for profits, I guess that’s the hardest part. No one would buy at a much higher price but instead they will look for a bargain price, thus making the seller selling at a loss. The reason why I prioritize bitcoin investment more than buying any luxury items. At least when I decide to sell, I will never settle for a low price but with higher price instead. That way, you buy at a low price and sell on its higher price, that’s how profits are gained. Tho it hard to sell in my opinion is not liquid not like stock or bitcoin crypto especially the market is running 24/7 no close and meaning we can sell anytime.

If given the choice, would you prefer to own a luxury watch or invest in bitcoin, digital assets, gold, stocks, or real estate?
A luxury watch has a market with fewer buyers due to both its price and being a hard-to-reach thing. In addition, it is not a product that can be preferred by everyone depending on the purpose of the person who will buy a luxury watch. On the other hand, it needs more capital due to its price. Cryptocurrencies, digital assets, commodities and stocks are investment instruments that have more buyers and are much more accessible for many people. For this reason, it is much easier to invest in them with low capital to trade and access them more easily during trading. In addition, since it is possible to buy these financial products in fractional or in very small amounts it is always possible to trade easily within the supply-demand balance.
The return on investment also varies depending on the risk potential of the investment. For this reason, investments in luxury watches, cryptocurrencies, digital assets, commodities or stocks should be preferred in comparison to the return they will provide.

Buying a luxury watch is not my ability because the price is quite high even some are more than $100K in price, while this investment is often owned by a businessman who has a lot of wealth so they partly invest there as well as his collection, it would not be surprising if many conglomerates have luxury watches because they can afford to buy and also have knowledge about the watch.
If you ask me then the choice is bitcoin that is my ability because I already understand how about bitcoin and other types, investing in bitcoin can be in small amounts while luxury watches require capital for 1 watch only, this is difficult for the lower middle class.

I am from a very poor country and so between investing in bitcoin and luxury watches, I would chooses bitcoin. Even having to choose between bitcoin and stocks or real estate, I would choose bitcoin. Bitcoin to me is the leveler. It is non discriminatory. Totally anyone can get in and acquire wealth slowly and gradually. The entry is cheap. I can't do that with luxury watches. I have to be a millionaire to even fathom about getting a luxury watch and worse still I have no patience to be on a wait list when I could invest the money in bitcoin and make twice as much in a short period of time. I have no problem with people investing in luxury watches some people have the money and they love it go fine with them as for me, it is bitcoin.
The luxury watch business is also a good investment, but you are right, most of us here are people who do not have too much money, so even if they want to start a watch business, there is no chance. To be honest, I would also choose bitcoin because, with its volatility, I expect to have a chance to make more money, and that's why I don't pick stocks or any investments. Not just me, I believe most people here would choose bitcoin for that reason.

Those who have more than $ 10 billion, of course, don't mind wearing luxury watches or all of them are luxurious, but for me, who is currently trying to get additional income, investing in bitcoin is better than any other investment, let alone buying watches.

I never even thought about owning a luxury watch as an investment. Something that has a luxury I prefer to buy for collection and not as an investment. So if it's about investing then I still have a choice in Bitcoin and Real Estate. And I only use Gold as a hedge. because Gold is not for investment but for savings that can maintain value in the long term because gold is not too affected by inflation from time to time.
Yes, everyone has their own views regarding luxury goods, whether it's for investment or collection only,maybe some people think it can make a profit by investing in luxury goods or in this case is luxury watches,
to invest in real estate also requires large capital.

It is always good to invest money than buying expensive things. Well if you have enough passiv money generating then it's fine. Investing in stocks has less risk than crypto in my opinion.

This is one tricky question. Investing in luxury items (not exactly watch) often is a risky. A person that is making and investment in luxury or expensive item must be a professional in some areas, to be sure he is doing right thing. If a person wants to invest in luxury watch, he must be closely connected with watch industry. Buying most expensive watch does not mean having a good investment. I have a friend of mine that is into alcohol industry. This is part of his hobby, job, investment - he buys old and rare wines. But he did not just buy old wines and wait, he knows a lot about history of wine, year of harvest and etc. And most important - he already knows who would buy this wine. As to Bitcoin investment - this seems to be a more easy way of investment.
