What a waist of cash. They should raise the income tax where you are from  ; :

Hack - you know I love you dude, and I'm not your average GetBig millionaire (seriously!!!).  But how is it a 'waist' of cash if it holds or even increases its value?

[Taffin]

Wouldn't get a Milgauss unless you need it (practically) or are really in love with the look. Submariner is always popular. You may also want to look at a GMT II or Explorer I or II. I suggest you get one with a date complication.

I have an Explorer II polar 39mm. Love it. Good thing about it is the number of people who have commented: zero.

Oh jeez - another perfect example of what I'm looking for!!  Super clean dial etc etc...  Thanks Hypo LOL

[robcguns]

Now THAT is what I'm talking about. .... thanks man, that is now top of my list no question and just within my price bracket 

You can definitely find them lnib for around 6k us.Keep it for years and you won't lose much if any.You will love this watch.

I had the new explorer in my hands for a few days and it's a beauty no doubt but if you try on the sub and exp I'm pretty sure you will choose the sub unless you like a slightly smaller style.Good thing about sub is ceramic bezel so no scratches where as the exp bezel scratches fast as it's polished.

Must've been outta the game longer than in though.. Never seen a clean bezel explorer. Lol

Lose? Pfft. There are 2 brands that will hold their value: Rolex and Patek (getbig standard watch).

Rolex holds the best hands down.Been dealing in watches for 20 years now and I've flipped many watches and Rolex is the one that I make money on or wear for a year and break even.you have to know how and where to buy.

Nothing dumb about buying a rolex.Cars,bikes,boats,etc... all lose value.Rolex basically does not lose value.The Rolex 116520 Daytona has an msrp of 12200.00 and they are selling new in box for 14-15k,the new Daytona 116500 has a retail of 12500 and it's been selling since it came out beginning of 2016 for on average 18k with no signs of slowing down.if you like watches it's pretty cool to wear something you like and make money or break even.

[ESFitness]

Very true,  but I still love Paerai.(ovvrr allllll time piece makers).

[hardgainerj]

Another idiot.Il measure against you any day while wearing a Rolex and guarantee I win.

Living off inheritance=entitled little brat.

[El Diablo Blanco]

Not after a chrono - too much stuff on the watch face I don't need.  I'm looking at clean designs, such as this

I stand corrected, but was just goofing around broseph.
If it holds value or increases it is not a waist of money.
It is just that I would buy necessity's and practical goods if I had some extra cash avaliable. But that is because there were some times in my life that €€ was to low.

That's the key with swiss brands and I have never lost money on Breitling, Omega, Panerai, or Rolex.

This is shows where all private sales are on the net. You have to know what you are doing here but this is a good way to buy.

and you validate my point whilst disagreeing with it

If you find someone to pay more than you did then you found a sucker, and when you bought it at less than it was worth you found another sucker.

But its just you that always breaks even or makes money, you're no sucker of course.

This was my first Rolex and it's always been my favorite.

If you want reliability and whatnot, get a quartz something. Automatics tend to need to be serviced, especially if they have a lot of comications ("complications" doesnt mean "problems", it just means it has more "stuff" like sub-dials and such... Think Milgause(sp?) with zero complications vs. Rolex Daytona with 3 subdials.

However I did accidentally drive my ex bro in laws car over my first Rolex. (If taken the watch off checking air pressure in a back tire n his wife didn't feel comfortable backing the car outta the garage with it being a manual/lowered/shortthrw shifter/stiff one-off clutch. And having only about 4" of wiggle room on each side of the car.. So I backed it out for her. Totally forgot about the watch....only damage was a few scratches. Rolex(&most swiss) have sapphire crystal "glass" that will not break. Scratches buffed/polished out with a $40 cleaning.

If you're worried about inevitably losing money on your purchase then I recommend a Timex.
