In addition to the excellent durable virtues of Rolex engineering, particularly the tool watches- there is timeless value. The current Submariners will last as long as their vintage cousins, and some of the vintage watches give 50 years of service like the 5513 and 1680 references.
Few other watches give 50 years of service, then have appreciated in value
better than blue chip stocks. So, keeping the slightly faster newer watches serviced is a good investment in current reliable use, and future eventual value. Rolex watches seldom go down in price over time. Maybe you can know the correct time while wearing a hedge against inflation.
