People don't know what their grail is until they ride the shitter carousel for a while and find out what size/look/type of movement is their preference. Most serious collectors have gone through dozens or hundreds of watches before finally landing on "the one", and they still occasionally wear their old shitters because they fill some niche.

E.g. a Seagull 1963 variant can be had for $250, but the ST19 movement is the only newly produced mechanical column wheel chronograph until you get to Longines level at $2k+. Add to that the unique look, history and authentic military heritage and it fills a niche that nothing else can. People will still be buying these in 20 years.
