[QUOTE="OKCShooter, post: 3965018, member: 9994"] This raises the question; what is the most one would spend on a watch and actually wear it? I couldn't see going higher than my current daily - after the first few scratches the anxiety is gone but if it was worth any more I don't think I could stomach it. Reminds me of a story from when I was ~25 and bought my first Rolex. I was proud of it and showed my Dad; he immediately chastised me and told me how stupid it was. He was a banker and wore a Longines. Fast forward a few years - I sell my Submariner for about $1500 more than I had paid for it and bought a GMT. My Dad still had his Longines and I mentioned that after 3 years, I made $1500 on mine while he his watch has relatively zero value (It was probably a $500 watch when he bought it). He learned something that day... Funny thing is that even though my current daily is now blemished from wear (been my daily for a few years) its worth $10K more than I paid for it. THAT is the beauty of certain brands. [/QUOTE]
