Mercedes Benz vs Rolex

[subrolex]

I'm wondering if people spent so much money to buy a Mercedes Benz. Do they have any Rolex? I can buy a few Rolex with that money to buy a Benz.
Do u have a Rolex and a Benz? Which one did u buy first?

I had a S 500 at one time. I switched to the Lexus LS 430, and now am on my second LS 460. I have a couple of other high end cars of the same brand that I like but the Lexus is a great everyday car. Better than Mercedes in my opinion.

Is it quieter and the cost of maintenance?

[swatty]

Have both, the Benz was first

[watchdog507]

I've had four Benz's 2 SL's, an E300 and an S450. I've always had nice watches. Sometime Rolexes, sometimes AP and Patek. I always end up coming back to Rolex's. Right now my principal driver is a 2014 Jeep SRT. If you can't afford the Benz you can't afford the Rolex.

You know the proverbial quote about owning German cars: If you have to ask about the cost of maintenance, you should not be buying these cars.

That is a great car! love that color, and the sound your V8 makes is stunning!

Had M-B's and Porsche's for years ahead of my first Rolex.

Now I'd say there are many other luxury options for both cars and watches.

I got my first new 01 Benz C320 and DJ16030 within the same year. Since then, I've owned 03 CLK55, and currently drive 03 CL500.

I've been driving Mercedes Benz for 23 years. Been wearing a Rolex since 1967. Maintnance? That's free....... Been a dealership technician since 1972. I work on Nissan's so I can drive a Benz....

[SUPERDOC]

Had a CLS 550 - but even with Snow Tires couldn't handle the Canadian Winter ---

Now Have an Audi A7


oddly enough I had always seen Mercedes as Rolex, Audi as Omega

My current watch collection has gone the same way...more into value and style and function...less about Brand recognition..

(current count Omega 12, Rolex 7)

(Audi 2, MB 0)

I'm an Audi/BMW guy but am buying a CLA 4matic for the wife when it comes out next year. It'll be our first Merc so I'll see how much I like the ownership experience.

You might want to wait a little to compare to the new audi s3 Quattro

[DCgator]

First Rolex in 1990; first MB in 1995. Since then drove only BMW and Infinity sedans and Nissan trucks. For a brief 1.5 years I also drove a Acura CLS.

[Mr. Krabs]

I drive an MB and have 3 Rolex

You might just want to wait... Initial reviews are not good. Very plasticky

[Dr. Robert]

I prefer the maintenance cost of a rolex vs the maintenance cost of a MBZ

[111forza]

Merc 1st

Then Rolexes

[porschejeff]

I have always loved the SL since I was 15, but have yet to own an MB. On my third Porsche however and third Rolex. The Porsches were before the Rolex.

[andromeda160]

My watch is worth more than my car, I drive a 95 Tahoe, I'm not buying a fancy car until I'm out of college and get a house, until then I will be drivig old used cars. Although lately I've been thinking about buying a Chevy Cruze new, but that's still a year or two out.

[dysondiver]

owned both at certain times in life ,,,, lost more on mercs than rolex.
maybe just didnt keep them long enough ,,, guess thats the same for both.

[rahible]

I bought a brand new EXI last year, and was saving for something more complicated. After passing on a a few time pieces in May and June, bought a brand new Mercedes C300 in July instead. I don't regret it. Now I'm saving again. Life's full of choices.

[East Bay Rider]

I got the Rolex first because I still can't afford the Mercedes that I want.

[mjclark32]

I'm currently leasing a 2014 e350 4matic. Bought my sub first when I owned a 5 series...

[CL65AMG]

My Rolex obsession started before my Benz obsession...My wife claims I need some cheaper hobbies

[GB-man]

I like mercedes but have never owned one as I have landed in bmws and porsches instead. I would not shy away from buying one though. I like the sls, but then again who doesn't.

[Starbuck_413]

My boyfriend's a car dealer, so I'm in and out of different vehicles all the time.

I am currently driving a Lexus SC 430 and it is a MUCH smoother drive/luxurious feel than driving an SL...It's seriously the quietest/smoothest driving car I've been in (outside of the Bentleys, etc.). You can't hear the road at all and it's a car that people ask me about all the time because you don't see them a lot.

I did drive an SLK around for a while, didn't like it as much as the Lexus to be honest. As snow is approaching I'm going to have to give up my little run flat convertible. Just bought a 2007 GL at auction so I can't wait to see how that is.

I think the comment about the old saying about "if you have to ask..." is very true. If you're concerned about maintenance costs, then definitely do not venture into German territory!
