The Rolex forum is about Rolex watches, not everything else. Why is that so hard to understand???

I do without some things to increase my watch budget...just as when I was a young man, I did without for my stereo budget.

Here in Houston, not so much.
Recently visited Houston., lots of driving needed..it's quite a sprawled out & spacious city.

Moved into Manhattan years ago, got rid of my car after 2 months...sometimes the greatest distance here in nyc is vertical and most cars don't fit in the elevator



Ps do you guys not drink coffee out there?

I just invested all my money to end my mortgage earlier and now I'm almost broke. I really guess everyone have different priorities.

For years I drove Land Rovers (8). Wish now I would have driven Toyotas and Nissans and bought more watches.

One of my employees saved 22k just to buy a 116718 and has no savings at all. Watches are pretty cool I guess.

Thinking about it and acting on it are two different things!

If it's a watch that increases in value then compared to interest rates at the moment it's a better investment or "savings" than putting it in the bank.

I'm not going to lie, just prior to moving to Hawaii, I decided I'd hold off on a car and pull the trigger on a 16610LV and get a moped instead - so far, so good.
