It comes down to intention. I'd love to own a military-provenance Rolex or Tudor Submariner,
link Omega Seamaster, or even a Pakistani Air Force-issued Omega Railmaster, not
link because I think it gives me any clout but because of the history it represents. I'll also keep hoping that my grandfather's watch might show up some day
link among boxes or hidden away between papers and envelopes stashed in his footlocker.
