Roko's Basilisk All-American

Here's hoping you get the call from the AD soon on your Milguass! For a long time that watch was not on my radar at all, but over the last year or so I've started to really like it. The green crystal is just so cool.

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..

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?

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

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