Omega makes great watches.
My wife (then fiancé) gave me an Omega Seamaster as an engagement present since I bought her a ring about 20 years ago. I haven’t looked at the pricing since until today and it’s interesting that I can likely sell it for equal or greater than she paid for it then. I never thought a watch would hold or increase in value having worn it. I assumed it would be like a car.

They are exactly like cars. The cheap run of the mill ones that everyone has depreciate to basically zero over time. Some depreciate then slowly appreciate as collectors become more interested in them. Some are worth more as soon as you walk out of the store and continue to rise over time, though they see ups and downs along the way based on the whims of collectors.
Think:
Camry
BMW M cars
Ferrari and other super/hyper cars
Trying to figure out the watch market is a fools errand.
I as well many thought COVID would cause a dump in the market which turned out to be 100% wrong. Also, watches are a highly manipulated market when it comes to things like Patek, AP, and Rolex. The manufacturers keep production low and the gray market gobbles up and holds stock. You basically have to develop long relationships with dealers or wait out the gray market dealers.
