rolex and your tax refund..

I am sure I am not the only one here in the us that declares zero in order to get a nice check around this time. Anyone spending it on a rolex or watch related toys? I was hoping for the new pepsi but that sadly looks like its not going to happen this year.
Maybe a metorite dial for the dd? hmmm

I am getting a small refund, but will be saving and investing it this year, no Rolex for me.

because what I get from a savings or even cd is insignificant. At least to me it is.

Tax refund = watch. Now that is good math!!!

Unfortunately, no such luck. Got mine and it went to this guy and some tires

I wish he would get a job

I, myself is still in the process of filing. Most likely I will pay this year but if I had something coming back....I'd put it into another hot rod. Looking to sell a couple of my daily drivers for something else....I think I've owned more cars than watches in my lifetime...

Tax refund + some saved vacation = either a new watch or another car.
Will find out in may-june what the situation will be like.
It will probably be another rolex, perhaps the new green Sub-C (Hulk or Shrek or whatever it will be called ), or perhaps the yachtmaster I have been inches from buying three watches ago...
