After 15 years of collecting watches I tend to only buy a watch that has some sort of unique complication, history or interesting handfinished or designed movement etc. so basic seikos, most micro brands, anything with a eta or selita movement do not interest me in the least.
I personally wouldn’t consider an ETA or selita movement collectible. Now an interesting El Primero movement variant or a movement from a well know brand that was the first of its kind or had an interesting or rarely seen complication is something worth adding to the collection imho.
