So why should your depreciating asset be 10% of your net worth, but a Rolex, which long term will appreciate, be just 3.33% of your annual salary ?

Not thought this through very well have you? Not for the first time.
so you reckon that a 2014 Sub will appreciate in value (nominal and real)?

As I said, cr@ppy day so glad to find somewhere to vent....

It's amazing how your replies have no actual meaning to the bits you quote. Must nearly be time for bed surely?

A different example: A friend of mine just took over stewardship from his parents of a small stately home / estate which is open to the public. I take it you wouldn't be seen dead living in one of these either as he was "given it"?! Where do you draw the line?
There is a huge difference between EARNING it and being given it, but only those of us who have earned it know it.

In my view a luxury watch is a status symbol worn by those who have been successful in life. A rolex tells time just like a seiko or a casio. The difference is prestige that's all. So by buying a rolex you are making a statement of your success, but too many are liers.

I am struggling to understand some of you. This is Pistonheads right? - a site for cars/speed. Take Ashley1111 for example. The kid is a car salesman and drives an old Clio, yet he has a luxury watch collection......WHY? What does he do with these watches? Does he wear them all at the same time or does he wear a different one every day? Why doesn't he sell them and get a proper car? or put a deposit down for a small terrace....?

Did you buy the aston martin rapid?

No, the back is too cramped to be used as a 4 door, so it doesn't make much sense. I guess that why they never really took off. A spacious coupe is miles better.

Urm... So this is a bit awkward... Makes you look like a bit of a cheapskate?
Not really - i was there in February (played football on the hotel beach with Michael Owen) so i was just asking if they were cheaper. Ever been to Dubai, Barry?

Really ? Which hotel did you stay at ?

And yes, Rolexes are much cheaper here in Dubai, if you know where to go.

This has been the funniest thread I've read in a long, long time!
+1 laugh

Never realised that there were so many nobody's wearing luxury watches - it's amazing the sacrifices (like food..!) people make in order to stand out from the crowd..!! laughlaugh

no wonder those wrists in the "wrist shots" look so malnourished...rofl
