Rolex price increases

[steve saiz]

Rolex is really reaching for the stars lately with prices of $8,000 to $9,000 for stainless steel sport watches. I am really glad for my existing Rolex collection since it’s value has increased tremendously,,,,, BUT,,,, it has me rethinking adding any future models to my collection. My first stray from Rolex is a Panerai Marina which I enjoy very much and I love the bigger size and semi domed sapphire, my only complaint is that being bigger with a smooth bezel it can get very beat up with dents and scratches. Rather than buying another Panerai I have just purchased a Kobold watch. The Kobold was a real surprise since it’s presence is massive and the crystal being domed also has a real cool look about it. I am including some photos for everyone to see if I am making the right move veering away from Rolex for future purchases??? I had wanted to get the Explorer II but……………. Thanks,

Awesome collection. Love the 2 GMT watches... Great to see them next to each other. While I like the new GMT IIc, the painted font on the older GMT is still my favorite by far...very nice group of watches!

Veering away is fine and you have a great collection....but kobold? Think for the price of those there is far better options (including rolex!!!), just my opinion though and you seem to like it which is what matters
