Probably? I suppose the basic claim is that watches become rare and collectible where other kinds of jewelry tend to remain worth near what you paid for them (in the sense that the materials and craft involved aren't much different 30yrs from now). In both cases if you wear them regularly they will be worth less than if you sock them away (and the watches will need to be oiled and adjusted).
