Wow- I just looked up mine on e-Bay and it would go for far less than I paid for it, not to mention what I've paid to maintain it. Well, I never claimed any of my jewelry was an investment.
Just out of curiosity, I tried to find the Jaeger-le-Coultre moonphase watch my Ex bought in the mid-1980s for about $7,000. Not sure which model he had (other than it was 18k gold with a leather strap), but that may have appreciated. Sadly, he sold it when things got bad. Even that watch hasn't appreciated as much as the S&P 500 (it was 171 in January, 1985!), even if you ignore what he would have paid to maintain it over the years.
Yeah, I'll keep the Rolex but I'm done with buying fancy watches.
