Pandas are sweet - and also unobtanium, from what I've heard. The markup is

insane, and the people on the forums who say they've bought one at retail either tell stories so implausible that they can't be believed or have spent more money at a particular AD than I'd ever be comfortable doing...

A Pepsi would be sweet, although I prefer the Batman and Batgirl GMTs

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

Just like a necklace or earrings for women.

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

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!

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