      If you genuinely like watches or just interested in the speculative end of the watch market and can afford to play the Rolex game you will see that there is not much wasting of money going on here if you know what you’re doing.
      The Rolex market is in a bit of a bubble but it’s far from bursting and is probably the most successful watch market in the world. Two scenarios might help you understand:
      1.
      If you’re a patient speculator and were to get one new from an AD at retail price you are almost certain to make
      money if you flip it even after you’ve worn and enjoyed it for some years.
      2.
      If you’re a patient enthusiast and were to get one new, a watch of this quality could be a family heirloom passed down through the generations for over 100 years.
      Try doing the same with an average quality mechanical watch and you will almost certainly lose or waste money speculating in relative terms or it will probably die before you even pass it on to the 2nd generation .
