Need To Justify Your Rolex?

We here ALL know that our Rolex is one of the greatest things one can own - true craftsmanship on the wrist

Apparently though there are non believers out there you know those people that would try and deter us from owning such a great item

Something to do with the cost or some rubbish like that . . . . . So what to do if faced with opposition from a non believer? Break it down and sell them on the benefits and the investment

Let's call it 7,000 cost (dollars or pounds or euros or any other currency) and 5 years. Right lets go:

1. Divide the 5 years into 7,000 and you have a cost of 1,400 a year. Umm not good enough so divide it by 365 days and that works out at 3.83 per day. Get that this amazing watch only costs 3.83 per day to wear!!!! That's a sandwich, latte or pint. How cheap is that husband/wife/partner/non believer???? If that doesn't work move on to . . . .

2. The investment line - okay so we know that it costs 3.83 per day to wear this great item for 5 years, but after those 5 years it will be worth (a guess of course but non believers wouldn't know either way) 9,000, which is a profit of 2,000 which means that NOT ONLY do I get back my 3.83 per day, I'm ALSO getting PAID 1.09 a day to wear it (2,000 divided by 5 divided by 365) so husband/wife/partner/non believer I'm actually MAKING us money!! By now you've almost defiinately got an agreement here but if not . . . .

3. Compare to just about ANYTHING else - cars, designer shoes, dresses, holidays, coffee makers, cigarettes, cigars, alcohol, manicures, hair cuts etc etc - these are ALL depreciating or wasting assets. You have zip to show for it, whereas my Rolex is an investment of sorts

And if none of that works . . . . . . . . You can always come on here and drool over the photos of people that correctly applied either 1,2 or 3 or of course didn't need to
