5 Watches with prestige - and profit potential

Bidding Range: $5,000

Rolex Submariner, references 5512, 5513, or 1680

Mass-produced but in high demand, vintage Rolex Submariners are a great buy in this price range. Says Schaerer: "They're going to continue to appreciate, and they're designed to be fairly rugged, so you don't have to be overly careful when you wear them."
