I guess the good thing about it is that if I get sick of the watches, I can sell them and recoup some of my money. At least that's what I'm telling myself. I think the two luxury brands I like are Omega and Breitling, and maybe Zenith. I never like Rolex for some reason, maybe when I'm older.

Zenith has a great movement.... they used to make the movements in Rolex Daytona's before Rolex produced their own....

..... but they're in the LVMH group. There are a few 36,000VPH Tag Heuers that house Zenith movements.....

You're entitled not to care for Rolex, but you at least have to 'not care for them' with respect.

Google the article "10 reasons it's OK to hate Rolex," if you care to see my point.

What they do as a company is hands down more pheonominal than any other brand on earth.

I don't hate Rolex. I just don't see myself wearing them right now. I tend to associate them as more of the middle-age crowd. They do hold their values really well, and they rarely give discount when you're buying them, so they're not a bad purchase from the financial standpoint IMO.

Patek & Rolex hold their value better than any other brand, and in the vast majority of cases in Rolex - you can own it & wear it for about 4 years & sell it for more than you paid for it.... so you are correct.

^are you familiar with Kobold? I'm starting to grow fond of the PVD Phantom Tactical. Rolex is a great buy. I might buy a Sea Dweller when I get older. I know alot of people love the Submariner, but the magnifying date window is kind of a turn-off for me.

SeaDweller or Basel release = Deep Sea = Date and no cyclops - - Milgauss is pretty rockin' too (no date, but 41mm)


I stick to the major Swiss contenders..... (At least the 8-10 that I consider the 'majors')

It's a very pretty watch.... and you never have to take it off (that's a requirement of mine).

how is that possible?

after 4 years of wear how would it appreciate instead of depreciate?

There are several of mine that I wouldn't mind letting go - but the Breitlings are my babies... the only one of those I'm not sentimentally attached to is the 18kr Montbrillant.

^^^if I get breitling, I'd probably buy it with bracelet, but then get a strap for it. Breitling bracelet has too much bling for my taste, but I'll get it with bracelet so I can sell it easier later on.

^^Or you could just buy it the way you want it, and refer the person to a dealer later to buy the bracelet as an accessory.

That's the greatest thing about them - you can make them practically any way you want....


^ Sweet, but I'd still rather have a New GMT or Milgauss - - Why is it in an old style box?

I haven't worn a watch since I hit puberty.

I rely on a combination of iPhone, computer taskbar, asking other people and the SUN to tell time.

I've seen a few dive watches I'll probably end up buying eventually, but I doubt I will ever wear one without a specific event in mind.

thank you...it was a christmas gift from my parents a few years ago

the trade-off for the thin and light titanium is that it scratches pretty easily, so the shined part of the links are now brushed like the rest

I have 2 Bulova watches but I never wear them.

One like this without the diamonds


And a gold case brown leather strap watch but I can't find a picture that looks like it because it's older

i used to wear a watch all the time. I mean I felt so naked without it. I started working a couple years ago full time and would always take my watch off when at my drawing table and now i never wear one. Just use my phone.
