Rolex Collection as an Investment?

Greetings Everyone,

I am wondering about keeping watches that I don't wear for investment purposes. How many of you out there do this?

I currently own 5 Rolexes: Sub 116610 LN, Hulk, GMT ii 116710LN, Exp ii 216570, and GMT ii Pepsi 126710

After taking receipt of my latest (the Pepsi), I planned to sell the GMT 116710LN. However, after thinking about the fact that it is discontinued, and the value will only appreciate, I am wondering if it is better in the safe.

To set the context, I don't need the money right now.

Would love to hear what others do.

Selling a watch can be a hassle. A lot of wannabe buyers are sketchy. Rolex attracts them all. If you don't need the money, why bother?
