Collecting vintage watches an investment play for you our just a hobby?

I have a few "vintage" watches, but they were gifts. All my watches except one I bought NEW or Pre-owned/unworn. You can say more of a hobby. I like to buy them right and keep them. It is a bonus that my daughter likes to wear them. I bought the IWC and Omega this year. I'm done for now.
Picture not visible unfortunately.My best guess, 1947. Bad picture. The watch is clean but unpolished.
I have Tissot PR50 moonphase.
Looks cool but it's a cheap Tissot. I am on low budget!
I like the Mickey mouse Ingersoll now.
And generally liking the Ingersoll style after a quick Google glance.
I am supporting the completely obsolete fax machine industry. I have 2 Cannons, 3 Brothers, etc.
Watches are jewelry at this point, that was my point.

You should sell them in Japan. For some reason the Japanese still use them.I am supporting the completely obsolete fax machine industry. I have 2 Cannons, 3 Brothers, etc.

The 003 is a Spring Drive and mine is accurate to about 3s/year. Mine is an outlier but all of the 9RA2 mvmts I've seen have been within 10s/year. The 36K SBGH255 has the hobnail dial. Both are in 6/4 titanium. One of the few watches in Grade 5 ti.

None of my watches are accurate to 3s/week! I have a winding box but I often have to adjust once a month.
Damn, I hope they didn't take it off your wrist.
In London they stole 29k watches in a few years. The police had to go undercover to stop them bastards.
