Nice, but if going green for the Jets I'd prefer the Rolex Daytona Hulk

Do they have it in silver?

Nope

Well I simply can't accept it then. Gold would clash with Jets colors. 😏

While expensive, say $35K, they do appreciate, but nothing like my house 🙂

Agree, I'd never go all gold tone. Two-tone maybe with classic submariner.

Some of their designs (including the DJ) are just so timeless and classic

My goodness, what a dial! A tapestry dial, I think?

Exactly..tapestry, unique. should have cleaned it up a little before pic

Thanks! The green crystal is exactly what I love. Unique w/out being flashy

Agreed on perception. There's watches you actively pursue that you're willing to pay for..

Not that they outsource swiss movements...all are made in Switzerland I believe, just that some are mechanical and

Got it. But you are correct, Tissot makes a very nice affordable watch

Not the Daytona but the sub is in stainless

Just like a necklace or earrings for women.

The Rolex 'Kermit' has increased in value 16% in the past year.

Just like an expensive car or a fancy house.

Those are also a waste of money

Who's to say watches can't be meaningful?

I guess if it’s a gift from his grandpa or from winning the Super Bowl, etc.

Really expensive watches don't usually glitter - signed, Patek Philippe

Except the Patek’s covered with diamonds

I've never seen one of those, but that WOULD be expensive!
