Rolex, Jaeger Lecoultre, and Patek Philippe are the only watches you can count on to hold their value.
I have a diamond president, a gmt master, and an anniversary sub. |

My wife got me a Rolex in 2006 when my first son was born. Love it and I am sure it will be passed on to him someday.
|
Not worn a watch for 20 years.

They maybe hold their value but you are buying retail and selling wholesale so you are going to take a 30-50% shave. Like the guy above, I bougth one when porn was so easy and now I wish I had the cash. I wear it about twice a year. |

Nowadays a watch is an accessory for men to flaunt some bling. |

Instead of having the Rolex just put that premium on top of a nice car to show off.
|
I only wear expensive rubber watches
|

can't deny that Rolex make some pretty damn good watches. Prices are out of range for me safe to say!
I like Omega and Breitling personally. superocean 44 ftw ;) |
I have had a Rolex for many years. They definitely do hold value. They are also an amazing piece of mechanical engineering, but sadly even the best traditional mechanism does not keep time quite as well as a $2 Casio digital watch can these days. It loses about a minute every month or two. Not that it's a big deal, but it surprised me when I bought it. When I got mine cellphones weren't as prevalent, now I find I rarely wear mine because I already have the time on my phone along with a lot of other functionality.

No, because I have no need to impress anyone, and my phone has a clock on the big screen thingy.
|
2006 GMT Master II w/ the Pepsi bezel and its value has gone up a lot. They only make it in ceramic now.

I have a tag Monaco and a Jaeger. Wear the tag everyday and the jaeger only when the tag is in for service.

I bought got a 1,200 watch about 5 years ago and saw that it was available online for like 200 bucks last year. That's why I want to get something that will hold value or just a watch for less than $100. I really want a rolex though if I can find the right price and a model I like.
Maybe pre-owned is a better deal with good value? |
Rolex is so 90s I think my grandpa has a few.

Rolex was the first word I blocked with a spam filter. Don't own one. Nice watches.

Having said that I never look at watches as an investment. I have some very very expensive ones, and some really cheap ones. I just get ones that I like, without worrying about resale. I have a Ulysse Nardin Blue Wave that I love, but I also have a fossel that I thought was cool, and everything in between, so.... .:2 cents: |

Chicks don't care, You not impressing anyone with a big dollar watch or your Afficltion shirt.:2 cents:
http://thatdevilmusic.net/wp-content...Affliction.jpg If you think you need a fancy watch to get laid or cut that big deal, you need more then a watch.:winkwink: |
I don't :pimp

I used to own a Tag S/EL .... but somebody liked it more than I did while playing beach volleyball in Wasaga Beach (was in the toe of my shoe behind my socks ... the thief got a good pair of NIKE cross-trainers too!!)
I bought a stainless steel Movado with the insurance, and pocketed the rest. The most expensive watch I currently own is a stainless steel 22 Jewel SEIKO Chrono Automatic - 100 Seasons Montréal Canadiens commemorative watch. It is #0699 of only 6720 made (6720 was the number of games the Habs played in 100 years), and was a birthday present 2 years ago from my wife. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net..._5933416_n.jpg |
I used to love my Rolex, but everyone and their uncle has a fake one now. I'm wearing Cartier now. Not as many fakes around.
|
A Rolex watch is great sign of initial success.. its a standard trophy of achievement, a world wide recognized symbol distinguishing you from the average wage earner... As you climb up the ladder of success, you need to step the watch game...........
Right now I am in the market for an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore.. rose gold or survivor.. anyone else? |

I'm more impressed by a guy I know is loaded and wears a modest watch. |
Not a fan of Rolex either. No longer a Fan of tag after I had two of them break on me.
Just got my first Tissot and love it so far. |

I tend to get to know someone better before I make that call. |
