To say my Rolex was an investment is truly a laugh. As a financial advisor and attorney by trade I view an investment as something that appreciates in value - not something that pays less than 50% of its original purchase price. While there are some Rolex watches which are more valuable than others, I have to admit I was very disappointed.

You bought a DD for $4,500 in 1993 (a steal in my opinion) and sold it for $1,800.???????

As a financial advisor and an attorney, (your words) please remind me to never use your services.
