[QUOTE="red dirt shootist, post: 4175863, member: 52708"] I hear what your saying. What I meant was I don't think Rolex is a good value, how much of what you pay is ego? They don't keep better time, they should be serviced, and they will degrade sitting in your safe. What is so good about them? Yeah I got 4x what I paid, but the time span, I owned that watch for 40 years, appreciation or inflation? I just judge things by value. I went in to have the watch rebuilt, just an Oyster date just in stainless, and I declined, he said if you want to let it go here's what I'll give you. Well I took it over to a pawn shop buddy, and he says there is no way I would give that much, there is a reason he wants that watch, if you want to sell it, this is it. A few days later I went back to Charley and asked if the offer was still good, he said sure, put a stack of 100's on the counter, and I never looked back. [/QUOTE]
