Everyone has a passion for something; this one is mine. If you really don't wanna hear about my watches anymore, just let me know and I'll refrain.

Nice watches RM! I really love seeing pics of all your watches, they are as fascinating to me as looking at diamonds. I dont know why I love watches so...is the watch on the far right a Daytona? I really like it, but not as much as the quartz Rolex you have (and are going to leave to me in your Will...hint...hint...hee hee!)

You can either pay a 20%-30% premium over MSRP or you have a close relationship with a dealer. The auth dealers get about 2-3 a year. Some buyers advertise WTB for $2K above list. My dealer is ethical and did not gouge on the price. He declined to give me a handicapped discount however.

...echoing mexi, I too, would like to see pictures of all your watches, Rodentman. And, to answer a question you posted not long ago.....yes...I consider watches important in my jewelry "look" just as much as my stones. I would no more wear a Timex ( they are probably great watches ) with my diamonds than I would wear a diamond set in silver, although I like silver, as a metal, too.

Edited to say, a Timex probably costs as much to make as my Rolex

but I still would prefer the Rolex.

Both the labor and the parts.

Egad not me, never! Just about all I now know about watches has come from you. I'll look at your watches any time!
