Ball watches are good watches, in regards to quality and finish, they are extremely well made, I rate them very high, comparable to Breitling, TAG and the likes. They offer original designs too.
As far as resale value though, if sometime in the future I wanted to either sell it or trade it, would it hold its value enough to consider picking this up?
I see what you did there 😂

So, yes, this is jewelry -- as you can buy a $10 digital quartz watch with better accuracy than a $4K automatic, but brand and brand image is a big deal here. So, if you' want brand cache with your $1K + watch, I'd look someplace else.
My two pennies.
I could say you're a do nothing machine as well. At least the watch doesn't use up clean air.

I'm not sure if he was comparing Ball to Breitling in regards to Brand prestige, as that'd be foolish. But as far as fit and finish/quality... I would agree with him. I've had four Ball watches and two Breitlings and I'd agree that Ball gets very very close to Breitling in terms of fit and finish. All my Ball watches have had better fit and finish than my Tag Heuer Aquaracer, but that's a whole other conversation...
Sorry, couldn't resist but I would agree with regarding fit and finish. They do a great job on the cases, and faces particularly.

It wouldn't hold its value. In fact most watches don't, short of Rolex. Even Omega watches drop significantly. If you're looking to purchase a watch I wouldn't look at it as an investment but rather a fashion accessory.
