I bought my stainless and gold Rolex 30 yrs ago, used for 2k. Today it is worth about that much. Not that bad of a buy for 30 yrs of use (and counting) for free. I still like to wear my watch. But then again I still have a landline too.

I cheaped out when i graduated college and bought a Joe Montana Concord mariner instead. It's worth less than the 1800 I paid in 1984. It was between that an the rolex which was 500 more. Now I have to pay 30K for the one I want

Much like my $75.00 1952 Mickey Mantle that never came in 1975, I had to replace it for 15K....OUCH

Replacing dreams are really expensive.
