Frankly? I think Rolex is an absolute bargain, and I'm choosing my words carefully. Consider: You invest 10 grand, but in five freakin' years you can easily get 14 grand or more for your pre-owned watch.
The OP I paid $5,100 last summer is now selling for upwards of $9 grand - used.
If that's not a value proposition, I don't know what is (tho I do not buy watches to flip them - they're all here for life).
And to be fair to you, love: I understand about cost. Tell you what, and I say this all the time: I'm crazy about my newer Rolex, but if the buying climate last year was like it has become these days, I wouldn't even consider it. I'd pick up an Omega or a JLC, save some scratch, and have a watch with more complications and every bit as much quality.
There are limits.
