I dont think so..

JBat · 13 March 2010, 03:11 PM

I hope I never have to find out, Richard. I enjoy wearing them very much.

SCD · 13 March 2010, 03:13 PM

Sure, as long as there's Casio and Timex then there's absolutely no need for Rolex. Desire yes, but certainly no need whatsoever.

ParisDakarBmw · 13 March 2010, 03:35 PM

If I had too in order to take care of my family, I could, but I'd be back into it as soon as the Financial situation got better. How could you ever loose the desire for a Rolex?

Dan Pierce · 13 March 2010, 03:40 PM

Would never want to be without my GMT. Of the oysters in my modest collection, the GMT II is one I could never give up.

Think that sums it up....

i love my sub!

ayres · 13 March 2010, 03:48 PM

good question... the materialist in me says no way, not anytime soon. their too fun! but the mystic in me says that no inanimate possession should ever have too great a significance in my life.

nauticajoe · 13 March 2010, 03:54 PM

Stick a fork in us....we're done! I just can't think of a substitute!!....there is none!!!

Starwalker · 13 March 2010, 03:54 PM

i love rolexes, but i dont think i'm gonna be the guy that buys 3 similar subs or 4 similar daytona's...i'll always need a rolex in my collectoin, but i do love diversity.....and in the future, I will add a chopard, breguet, GO, maybe another Omega, Hublot, AP.......welll atleast lets hope so.

TurboWatch · 13 March 2010, 04:28 PM

after wearing the brand for almost 24 years, I feel "naked" not having one on my wrist

i could do without one no problem and i'd part with mine in a second if financial necessity dictated such a course of action. to me it's just a watch, and not a major source of happiness.

Joey_V · 13 March 2010, 05:22 PM

Never will be without one in my collection for sure.

escudoturbo · 13 March 2010, 05:34 PM

Only if were a choice between keeping the house and keeping the watches in a time of major financial hardship.

Gerardus · 13 March 2010, 05:51 PM

No!!!

Dr. Jones · 13 March 2010, 07:00 PM

I have owned a few cars in my life. In time I tend to grow tired of them and sell them for some other auto which catches my eye. My Rolex watches I don't sell and I love collecting them. I can do without certain cars. I can not do without my personal choice Rolex watches.

TABACCO · 13 March 2010, 07:50 PM

il feel naked without one

landroverking · 13 March 2010, 11:14 PM

There are two things I have to please me and I don't care if anyone notices them or care what they think ....One is my Rolex the other my Land Rover.

Mystro · 13 March 2010, 11:29 PM

If my family ever fell on hard times, I could drop my watches in a second to pay for more important things for my family. Rolex is nice but in the grand scheme of everything its only a watch.

Had one off and on for years just like my Harley. Could I live w/o one ? Sure, I have. As I've grown older I've gone back to a basic no date sub on a NATO strap. My '09 Road Glide is about to go for a basic black Heritage softail. Due to health issues, my touring days are over.

Can you picture yourself owning one for the next 40 years??

I imagine owning more than one for the rest of my life. I should only live another 40 years!!

Jason71 · 14 March 2010, 12:23 AM

I have 8 Rolexes because Life is good to me right now. However, everyone has good/bad times and I am sure that I will have to sell some (if not all) down the road. I hope to be able to give them all to my 2 kids when I am gone, but if I had to sell them to buy the essentials of life..............I could live with that.

swissautopro · 14 March 2010, 12:29 AM

If something catastrophic were to happen and it came down to my Rolex or my family surviving, the Rolex is history. But as long as my wife and I are financially comfortable, I can not imagine being without at least one Rolex. I just really enjoy them.

snow_rocks · 14 March 2010, 12:33 AM

Either Rolex or RADO, either starts with an 'R'!

jmsrolls · 14 March 2010, 12:51 AM

It would not be a problem for me as my EXPII gets less wrist time than any in my collection.

As a matter of fact, it may be replaced in the near future.

No. I went through an Omega period in between Rolex's. I was never happy. Only people on this forum would understand.
