I have a old Patek Philippe watch... Rolex is for wieners.

Hey! I resemble that remark! I happen to think my Stainless Steel Daytona is fantastic.

Pbbbth... That's a sales guy watch.

Actually.. watches are a fairly decent investment.

It works though...I sell so I wear. I have to sell my company to our clients. That's considered sales so I will wear it proudly.

Obama wants your watch.

Obama wants your watch.

Yes he does and my shoes, and my house, and my cars. He can have the matching set of Rolex time pieces my wife bought but were stolen in August when they cleaned out my house. Good thing I had $500 worth of jewelry coverage! That covered the boxes they came in maybe. :smt021

To tell the truth I was almost relieved because the faces were blue. :smt009

I wish I had a real Daytona. Mine is fake, and a bad one. My Submariner and Yachtmaster are also fakes, but great quality. Can't tell by looking at them, but I know. The boat was more important. Someday maybe...

If you get a truly good watch, they will go up in value. But you've got to shell out some big bucks for those watches. The one's they sell at Macy's depreciate faster than a new boat.

I'll trade you for your boat!

A vintage Paul newman black dial Daytona will fetch a pretty penny.

I know some guys are really into these things. And back in the day the oil and railroad "barons" of the 19th century were into exquisitely detailed custom designed watches, but I just don't get it.

 

[Turtlesboat]

Did you just call Gary an Oil Baron?

 

[fc3]

No. He's not that old. I said 19th century.

That's a great story. Good for the seller.
