Another point on expense and Rolex - There are lots of things that are expensive that defy logic. I have friends that collect audio. Some turntables are well into 4 figures. Another is into astronomy. He thinks nothing of spending 10k on an eyepiece. My wife's sisters collect Lalique crystal (as does my wife). A vase (pronounced "vaahhz"  ) can run 10k easily. Mechanical fuel injection componants for an old Super Carrera are BIG bucks. A Porsche Speedster will fetch 100k - maybe more.
Buying a Rolex is a bargain imo. It's about buying something you like because it is what it is - not - i because it does what it does. How many things like that can you buy and actually sell for more $$ a year later? |
Man, you are right about the 911's and the salt. One of the Waukesha County spraying trucks went by me in the opposite lane the other day and it sounded like a sand storm had hit our GMC!
Yeah, I just like to agitate people about stuff like jewelry. I tell my wife and her pals that whenever a person cannot tell the difference between a $10K diamond and a $1k fake diamond then they should do what I do and buy chocolate milk shakes instead since it's easy to tell a good one.
Now, my 1969 Triumph Bonneville T120R with 5364 miles on it...that's really smart to have in the garage and almost never ride it.
