Thank you for that comment.....

Since I have a " Bling " Platinum Masterpiece I would like to chime in.

I bought this in 2000 and its a "P" series. I felt it was a great idea for a few reasons....
1. even though its not a real "investment" i knew that i would probably get more than the $49,000 i paid for it after discount in years to come.
2. it has bling but when you see this watch on the wrist with its mirror finish and simple stones it is a work of art.
3.A lot of people collect items ....cars, art, and WATCHES.
living in a major city the only thing i have enough room for are watches.and as you can see that over the last 15 years or so i am not alone in this theory.

As I stated before in another post this watch along with my DD is seeing more safe time these days this is due to the economy and a few of my friends having hard times. In my opinion (AGAIN M Y OPINION) now is not the time or place to be wearing my higher end Rolexes.....My SS watches and toy watches are "in" right now......but my Rolexes WILL Return on my wrist when the Days grow bright and our economy rebonds and That it will!!!

Just my

Thank you Jeannie and Mailman. My point exactly.

No one is "bullying anyone" however there is a difference between an opinion and an insult. If you can't differentiate between the two, DON'T POST! And if you continue to insult other members, the issue will be resolved for you by the Mods, not me!
