Ok, so I am close to pulling the trigger on my first expensive (relative word I know, I would like to keep it under $5k) watch. As this will be my most expensive watch purchase to date (I have a couple of cheaper Omegas and a Breitling) I plan on keeping this one indefinately. In fact, I plan on passing it on to my son who was born this year on his 18th, 21st birthday or turns reasonably responsible... What do you feel will depreciate the least over time against inflation and will be the coolest hand me down in 20 years...I have always loved the Rolex 50th Sub.. Thanks in advance for the input.

For an heirloom watch there is nothing like a Rolex imho. The Kermit is a fine choice.

Used market has shown that Rolex Submariner has maintained it's high resale value in almost every decade. The 50th Anniversary Edition is of no exception,in fact this watch will only increase in the future. To receive any watch from a parent is a great feeling. However,to receive a Rolex Submariner as a gift,that is an unique experience that will be cherished for many years. Last edited on Thu Aug 14th, 2008 09:42 pm by Simon_Leung |

Bought my wife a Rolex 18K Just Date Presidential with black dial/diamond chips and diamond bezel when my twin sons were born. She also has a TT Cartier de Santos Automatic...but she wear a Jacque Lemans quartz and a little rectangular Stovard-Jurgebsen with a hand-wind ETA2660...go figure!

I just went through this same dilemma  See my post on Pepsi vs. Coke vs Pam. I love both watches have had the Submariner twice and now a Panerai. Just love the size and feel of the Panerai....and I loved my submariner....the feel was unreal on the wrist with the Rolex!!!! I recommend you find a HIGH END dealer at a major city and try them all on....how about we all meet in Las Vegas and help him make a decision!!! I'll buy the first round of free drinks!!

Oh man that is sweet...awesome...I will check out Teno. I have never seen a XEMEX in person. Ok, so I acted fast. I am in negotations with a watch I saw on the bay. Can i talk prices and post links. I am nervous buying a $5k watch on ebay but it is the easiest place to source a pre owned watch. What can I do to protect myself besides using paypal, a credit card (i think they protect agaist fraud), and taking it immediately to a Rolex dealer to verify authenticity (will they even do this).
