yea it is. I only drive 7kms to work and back 3-4 days a week (12hr shifts) So the wife has a new car.
The two cracked headlights, the dent in the back and far side are all from shitty workplace. I dont care about this care so its all good. |

I will go with a new Rolex without a second thought. Car only depreciates but Rolex maintaines their value well.

WoW, What a odd comment, I would say 90% of the board drives crap cars then by that logic. My 9 year old Lexus must be crap since I haven't sank a dime into besides a water pump ,timing belt ,and oil changes. |

I really don't need any new watches, so now I'm saving up for a new car, which I won't get until the one I'm driving bites the dust and no matter how much I have saved up, it's highly doubtful that I will spend more than $30k.

Your call...you will have the watch longer than the car, and it gets better mileage.

I think you made a great choice as Rolexes hold their value better than cars. I'm not a car person and would of made the same choice you did.....and I agree as my wife drives a newer car but does not have a Rolex(her choice)!!!

Your watch will far out live any car you may decide to purchase. As long as you have the reliable transportation that you need I say you made the right decision.

Good choice!
The Sub will surely outlast the car. Plus, you can take the watch anywhere you go (the same can't be said for the ride).

Probably worth it to have a beater car you don't care about especially if you're working in a crummy area. Get the watch!

I'm not a car person and would have chosen a watch as well. That's assuming the car is reliable.
