A good Buy?

So i went to my local Watch shop and was offered the attached watch at $4300 (+Tax, 8.25, its TX).

Is this a good buy? Im not a huge fan of this watch . . .but if i can wear it for a year and recover most of my cost on a trade or sell than im definitely intrigued.

THoughts?

If you're not a huge fan don't buy it.

If you're not a huge fan, why even consider it??

I wouldn't purchase a piece I don't like even if I got 40% off MSRP.


Ok, well that may have been a slight exaggeration... but still!

Remember, it's always easier to buy something than it is to sell something.

Why pay $4,300 for something that you don't like. Either invest that $4,300 or use it towards something you do like.

I agree with the others, don't buy it unless it's the watch you want
