there are 2 kinds of people that will spend 75k on a watch.......timepiece connoisseurs and rap artists.....problem is the first one might put the watch away as a showpiece....the latter is going to cover it in diamonds.
i think its time they stop making special versions of the watch and revamp it a little....maybe make it larger in size

for $75k, in platinum with a platinum bracelet i think you get more for your money out of that than you do from PP, AP, A lange, VC etc.
easier to monetize a second hand rolex than the others if it comes to it too. only mega-foo-foo dudes go with PP or VC and you dont get a heck of a lot for $20k - $30k from AP even... not sure what they have in this range but it's probably quite big and gaudy. Same with Hublot.

Yes, I keep forgetting to some watches are a trendy thing. BTW: I just got a Panerai 111 for a completely different look. I already have three different leather bands ordered for it.

Hang on to the 111 though. Panerai will be making it an automatic soon so the manual wind will be gone.

I'm glad I don't follow those fads and wear what I like. For the record, I bought my first Breitling in 1995 and my first PAM 125 in 2004 only because I couldn't find one stateside. Last edited by RR-NYC; 11-24-2013 at 05:33 PM.. |

It was quite heavy compared to my stainless steel Daytona. But precious metals in a watch is not a smart financial decision.
As for Rolex not being popular, I disagree. Rolex is bigger than ever, but even more surprising that it's the Presidential getting wrist time in music videos and on some celebrity wrists. |

I couldn't believe how heavy the 50th Anniversary Daytona was. Incredible how much of a weight difference it was from my SS Daytona.

The Platinum band and main body are a ton. Prob 20-30% heavier than the SST they use.
I agree on the precious metals but sooner or later there is a white gold Daytona coming my way. |
