.. I like this advertisement..
It ends.. "..........it doesn't just tell the time, it tells history."
Guess what?
Rolex (why so afraid to say the brand?)
is correct in telling you that after you have paid for the new watch,
the money in your wallet is .........
history

Likewise, I never liked Rolex either. You're definitely buying a piece of history though... The movement, case, dial, basically everything is little changed since god knows when...
Omega Seamaster Ploprof... Wow.
You're buying your own history.
"the day i went broke buying a rolex"

Strange, I never like Rolex models (can't afford it anyway :bsmilie.
However, Omega caught my eyes couple of times. This one for example
Also can't afford it. Gotta sell my flat and still need to top up a bit to buy.
No right no wrongs la, to me it all lands on what emotions are invoked in u from the item.
Take the Rolex Oyster perpetual (model 1002) . I fell in love with it on 1st sight and after finding out it was the very first Oyster perpetual model ever made and how rare unadulterated, mint condition ones are, I spent almost half a year putting one together. ( I found a circa 1961's from a private collector's safe, original strap from an old antique shop in Bencoolen)
some will say its a pure waste of time and extreme show of stupidity, but to me; it meant owning a piece of history that will definitely be recognized by those in the know.
You should see how some people (from that country) buy LV in HKG. They buy whole collections of the brand's history
No right or wrong, but my wife says: U dare pickup watch collection hobby after photography, you're history... So, that's grey area, really. :bsmilie:
That watch has a classic clean look btw. Good choice.
From your POV, she's history. And depending on your situation, it can be a good thing :bsmilie:
