I think several of those brands are riding the coattails of AP/Rolex/PP but that doesn’t mean that demand for those watches is going to suddenly dry up or supply is suddenly going to explode.
I wholeheartedly agree though that people should ALWAYS buy a watch because they want a quality watch at an acceptable price and good service, but I also think the days of being afraid to buy from smaller brands due to depreciation may be coming to an end.

Agree. Czapek is now sold out for 20 months. You can’t get a Streamliner Green dial, apparently Moser ADs asking for a bundle Moser purchase, and even then there will be some wait. Gronefeld Principia cannot be had unless GF open orders again and even then, there will be queues.
All brands you mentioned have either collection(s) or few watches that require a bundle or 12-24 months wait. So pretty sure anyone getting a Czapek Antarctique 41.5mm glacier blue or salmon right now will be able to flip it for some profit it they don’t like it. Don’t see anyone losing money with Antarctique or any of the other desired watches from Lange, Moser, GF, and Czapek.
