People can become addicted to anything, I think being addicted to buying watches has got to be a less common than shoes, cameras/lenses, handbags, sneakers, or even sunglasses! In some ways you're right, there are brands out there that put out short-lived special editions. But equally there are a lot of cheap and readily available pieces which are becoming much more well-known and accessible. All my watches have been bought used, and if ever I reach a point where one of them no longer makes me smile when I look at it then it will be resold. Sometimes watches appreciate in value, but it is a gamble and I think suggesting somebody buy a watch as an investment has got to be bad advice almost 100% of the time. If they go up, great? If they go down? Well if you enjoyed it for the time you owned it that shouldn't matter so much
