I had a TAG about 10 years ago, nice for the money. My wife has a blue face Seamaster Omega, its awesome. A bargain for the money and I would love to get one myself.

I have three Rolexes, two DJ's and a 5503 Sub ND To sum up all the points made here, I never look at a Rolex as "money spent". Its just savings in a different form, buy right and buy smart and you are virtually guaranteed your intial investment back. It sounds like I am rationalizing, but its always been true to me.

Example, I paid 1800 for my Sub back about 5 years ago when the 5503 was soft. I could get double that now, so my intial investment is safe plus I have enjoyed the heck out of the watch. Even my DJ, purchased new in 2002 for 2800 from an AD is still close to the money.

Again, buy what you like but if price is a factor, consider the comments (like the one above). Its all relative....
