Date: August 31st, 2010 11:30 PM Author: bronze locus dog poop is that an old datejust or some other model? i would be up to buy a used datejust from before the early 2000s, since rolex fucked up the new model. don't know what's a good price though. also i would prefer a non-black dial.

Date: August 31st, 2010 11:38 PM Author: Indigo Nursing Home You pathetic striver, what about Patek/Vacheron/Audemars?
Jk, I would get a used Sea-Dweller or Deep Sea.
Although I can dream about the new AP Royal Oak Offshore Diver ($15k and very hard to find at a dealer, apparently).
In terms of investment, watches are generally a terrible investment, although with a used watch you'll lose less on a resale (especially with Rolex). The Rolex secondary market is also more active/liquid so your Rolex would sell faster if you ever decide to sell or trade in.
I don't see a lot of investment opportunities out there in conventional investments, so the opportunity cost of owning a nice watch is not that bad.
Last point, don't forget to factor in maintenance costs. A Rolex Service Center full service would be quite expensive relative to the purchase price of the watch you're considering. |

The fakes out there are scary good although Rolex in particular works very hard to stay a few steps ahead of the counterfeiters. |

The biggest problem will probably be the lume, and who the fuck is going to be looking at your watch in the dark? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1411213&forum_id=2#15939695) |
