I never understood the Rolex thing over the years as a timepeace. A friend bought a Rolex Submariner several years ago and claims it does not keep accurate time, will cost a bunch of $$$$ for servicing, BUT has held if not appreciated in value. So, its not a great timepiece as far as the mechanism compaired to Tag Heuer or even Omega; however, it does make you wonder why the Rolex continues to hold its value and even appreciate.

Five-grand for a new base Submariner model these days, but back in 1988 when I was looking at them they were $882.00. Today that 1988 watch would yield over a grand if not two. If you have the descretionary income then it may a wise move and you even get to wear it and enjoy it.

I wear a Tag Heuer Aquaracer, but I am a "closet" Submariner lover myself. Its just tough to justify that kind of money these days on a timepiece. If your going to consider an investiment, look at Piaget.
