Here is my two-penneth about my watches. 44 years ago I bought a Rolex date while in the Navy, I bought it in Dubai and paid £120 for it, I still have the receipt and box. This watch has been used in very harsh environments and has had a hard time. Ships engine rooms, steelworks and in over 44 countries including Everest base camp.It has been serviced 3 times and has never let me down. The last time I sent it for service I was quoted quite a long lead time, I decided I couldn't wait so I bought another Rolex a Yachtmaster, another beautiful reliable watch.
Eventually the other one came back, It is as new, I couldn't believe how good a job they had done of it. Actually I haven't worn it since as I now wear the Yachtmaster continuosly.
I always wear my watches all the time 24/7.
So the point is I wouldn't be without my Rolex, my experience with them is an excellent one, I'm sure after my days my grandchildren will continue to wear them.
As with cars and most things choice is down to personal taste.
