To be perfectly honest, I had more trouble 'swallowing' this than the purchase price!

The universal praise for the outstanding jobs performed by the RSCs went a long way toward my accepting this.

I rationalized that for $100/year (on an annualized basis) I will have returned to me, in effect, a brand new Rolex every 5 years.

Seems like a logical justification to me

Life's short. If the wife & kids are taken care of, the bills are paid, and you put enough aside for the nest egg, I say enjoy your passions. Fine Swiss timepieces are my passion.

No. This isn't a dress rehearsal, it's the only life you're going to have. Make the most of it.

I just had that very conversation with my wife last night!

She got my point, So it looks like I will get a new Sub!

Plain and simple do what makes you happy, because we know the opposite right?

wandyprawira · 28 August 2007, 04:04 PM

Buying a Rolex just to put it inside a safety box rather than wearing it, now that's what i call nuts.

And sadly, I'm one of those guys....

frostie · 28 August 2007, 04:41 PM

Guys we only live once. If you enjoy these watches buy them

Andad · 28 August 2007, 05:17 PM

No.

Chris B · 28 August 2007, 05:34 PM

I never feel guilty about what I spend on myself, you have to spoil yourself now & again.

frostie · 28 August 2007, 05:35 PM

Well as i said we only live once if you are working you a$$ of then you have to spoil yourself a bit

SPACE-DWELLER · 28 August 2007, 05:41 PM

Even though my family's rich, I was brought up to learn that nothing is for free in this world (well besides TRF, btw!

), and therefore anything I have I have bought for my own hard-earned money. Sometimes I do think that it is a bit "crazy" to spend so much money on watches, but then again you only live once so why not treat yourself?

frostie · 28 August 2007, 05:44 PM

Thank god that TRF is for free

Ragu · 28 August 2007, 05:54 PM

So, if owning more than "one" Rolex makes one that many times crazier than owning one?

If so, I'm a crazy MoFo but many here are crazier by owning more than five Rollies!!!!!

I just bought a 1982 TT Datejust....LNIB...for a price I considered fair...MY WIFE...just got an estimate to have the master bath redone...$13,945.00...Do the math.....j

SPACE-DWELLER · 28 August 2007, 10:38 PM

Speaking of doing the maths:

I just received an invoice from Steve:

"Tosser Fee 2007-08-28 till 2007-12-31: 1,200 US $" !

And it says "Pay Easy With PayPal"

frostie · 28 August 2007, 10:39 PM

1200 is too much any discounts if i pay cash?

leopardprey · 28 August 2007, 10:50 PM

Well, as I have said before, I have spent less on my Rolex watches that other people I have known have thrown away gambling, on booze, cigarettes, drugs, etc... over the last several years.

Mr. K · 28 August 2007, 11:11 PM

Expensive? a little.

Worth it?

Every penny!

Save more money for watches.

A guy inherited $1,000,000.00. He spent $500,000 on women, gambled $480,000 away in Vegas and wasted the rest on a new Daytona.

That sounds like the guy was from the balkans. We do crazy stuff like this all the time. I know a guy that is 60 years old he is leaving in a bus and was saving money for 40 years to buy a BMW. How does that sound to you
