Pricey hobby

I have a collection but they are all from work awards or company watches. We never went beyond Rolex, but dang there are some really beautiful watches. I have a wish list but prefer steel, no diamonds and not too much color. I couldn’t do a Kermit or Hulk, just don’t like green.

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

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

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.

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!

I like the Kermit, but the green on green "Hulk" seems more appropriate
