Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether depreciation can be claimed on luxury watches or apparel if they are used exclusively for business purposes and kept at the office. It highlights the need to prove business use and mentions that the claim is allowed if the asset is put to use for the company's business. The common practice and potential case law are also touched upon, with a humorous 'LOL' response suggesting it's unlikely for items like replica Rolex watches.

It depends upon the business and whether you can substantiate that these were used for the purpose of business. The claim for depreciation is allowed if it can be shown that the asset is put to use for the Company's business

Hi everyone,

I’m curious if anyone here has experience with rolex submariner replica watches in an office environment. Would it be possible to claim depreciation if such a watch is used exclusively for business purposes, like as part of a uniform or for representing the company image? Any insights would be appreciated!
