In addition, the precious metals used to make that Rolex accounts for a good part of the expense of the watch.
There are no sharp edges, no flaws, no seams visible in the bracelets and most importantly, they go UP in value.
If you have insurance riders on your home owners policy, every 5 years or so you should have the watch appraised again and adjust the policy accordingly.
Ever have favorite and fairly expensive suits or dress pants that after 1 year you notice the edges of the pants pockets frayed? Damn, is usually my response when I discover that.
Will a quartz keep more accurate time? yes, of course, but if you want a "Time Piece" that becomes an heirloom and appreciates in value and you can actually wear/use it...the choice is obvious.
