: I can't believe that you Omega owners feel so threatened by one
: Rolex poster!! I received 9 e-mails about this topic. What are
: you scared of? The truth? Tell you what, go try and sell one of
: your Omegas and see for yourself what the reaction is. People,
: especially dealers in second hand watches, are not interested in
: Omegas. But when you say "Rolex" all ears are pricked.
: Did anyone ever took your arm and said "I see you are
: wearing a Omega"? Never. But boy, oh boy, it's happened to
: me so many times already and I've only had this watch now for 2
: months. It's like a Rolls Royce and a Jaguar. People don't
: notice you if you drive a Jaguar....I know, I drive an S type.
: But, when you drive a Rolls, even if it's old, people notice it
: immediately. Second hand value of a Jag is bad, ask me, I'm
: driving an S type, but buying a Rolls is making an investment,
: same as buying a Rolex.
The Kool-Aid is strong, drink deeply.
Several things the forum has found out from your second post: you drive a Jaguar, you think that a Rolls Royce is an investment and you
like to be noticed. That a fair assesment?
One thing, if I may: Look around and price a Rolls Royce. Look at a new one and look at them in the used market. 99.999% of them
ain't no investment. Same goes for a Jaguar. Now look at a Rolex Submariner new: about $5800 or so. Look at the used market.
I can pick up the same watch for around $3500. I would love for you to explain how that is an investment.
Its not true on every Rolex and not true on every car, but its true most if not nearly all of the time.
Most here like watches for what they are. Most here like most brands and can find good in all of them.
I'm not much different and I do own several Rolexes. I like then just fine.
