They may or may not continue to appreciate over time, but they are certainly classifiable as investment opportunities when purchased correctly.

I did the same thing. Only I bought new for a little over 7. Either way, the fact that a watch I bought new is now worth more despite now being in used condition is awesome. it certainly doesn't hurt that the economy is slightly better and, more importantly, the dollar has weakened, which has raised US MSRP's for imported goods.
