Anyone ever purchase a Rolex to get it out of their system and either kept it or sold it later down the line?
I'm stuck on wanting one (Submariner).

I've ALWAYS wanted a Sub. I remember being a kid and wanting one. Just something about them. I just fear I'll be disappointed one way or another.
In the mean time I'll be wearing a homage of some sort and will prepare myself mentally for the real deal. I know it's not the same but at least I can think it is.
Hmmm, do I REALLY REALLY want to spend $xxxx on one?

if you're going to buy a Rolie,do it quick!...prices are on the rise,and many AD's are already selling at the increased prices...Rolex has proven over the years,never to go out of style,to hold their prices on resale,and many have become quite collectable over the years,garnering huge profits...a future collectable prediction by many enthusiasts is the new Milgaus...ThumbsUp02.gif

I can see the increases already. I browsed a gray market dealer recently and their sale price was above MSRP. Insane.
I might start eating more PB&J sandwiches to save my lunch money. lol

Slightly off topic, does anyone see Bremont hitting it big later down the line? They seem to be up and coming.

You won't be disappointed with a Rolex. Don't listen to the haters... they just be hating!

I'm with Oscar and Mark. Rolex is among the most covetable of brands and maybe the MOST powerful. Get that Sub because no collection is really complete, IMHO, without a Sub. You won't regret it. Subs are virtually indestructible.

10 years from now, you'll know what we mean when you walk into an AD and faint from where the prices have risen to.

From what I've seen, Bremont is just selling ETA movements at 20 times them prices. Nothing to do with Rolex and them inhousereally.gif

+1. Strictly from a business viewpoint, Bremont does not have the capabilities to do what Rolex did. Therefore it cannot hit it big down the line. There are many, many other brands ahead of it in line. I have nothing against Bremont. ThumbsUp02.gif

Seriously: What's the deal about Bremont? Since when they started to make watches? Why and how do they reach stratosfere prices with ETA movements and watches who don't seems to be more performant than some other well proven sport-watches brands?
I call this: I overprice myself to give me fast status...

Yes Bremont are nice watches but also IMHO they are over priced. Many at half the price or less out there are better watches of the same class and type of watch.
