Hi all,

a follow up of my post a few months ago where I asked for an opinion whether to go in for a Rolex or land.

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=83401

majority of people in the 'rolex' forum told me to go for land...

I took the plunge and bought the Land!.

It costed me many more times than a two tone sub would...but now the deeds done and I am wondering when it will be when I buy my first rolex.

To cheer me up my dad gave me his near twenty year old Scratchproof/Ceramic link Rado!

Boy does the watch look superb. Its a beauty alright and has been only serviced once.

But the icing of the cake is it really is scratchproof. Not a scratch on the watch! and the sunlight plays beautifully on it.

Its going to get more wrist time than my Tissot till I buy a sub or my first DateJust.

TRF rocks.

congrats buddy!

now back to saving up for that rollie!

Don't listen to JJ. The Rado is a beauty and will serve you well. Land ownership is a great undertaking, and a rugged scratch-proof watch will come in very handy. Good move

Smart move....

Sadh40.....Congrats...... i think this last 12 months has generally been the BEST opportunity in a long time for buying land/property....East OR West!!!

I am sure you will get a great return when the time comes to cash out,and your watch choice options will be even greater because of it!!!!

ParisDakarBmw · 19 February 2010, 02:00 AM

Very smart move. They quit making land a few years ago, and is sure to go up in value. Rolex is still cranking out watches by the millions, and will continue for many years.

sadh40 · 19 February 2010, 01:22 PM

Thanks guys,

Now the choice has been made and now the rollie is definitely the next one on the list! I love the submariner but I am getting more inclined towards the DJ/DJ II.

saving for the beauty has started!

The Rado looks great. Good decision with the land.
