All this works by cycles... When I see these markets going very fast, I fear that it won't last too much... What then?

If you happened to have some extra cash laying around and wanted to watch it grow slowly in a Rolex, which would you recommend and why? Thanks for your input in advance, Matrix

This is the one billion Dollar question, my friend.

Who knows? As always, I would recommend to go for the one which please you the most... That is way much safer than any prediction on values or investment watch. Some criterias, though: 1/ Do never think that the less you spend the more you earn. A top con...

It went very high, then down, then high, then reasonnable ... Then? I do agree with you, though. Well bought, it may be a good investment. Even more when we see the new one! Best, Nicolas.

as long as Daytona fever exists...also one important point...

commenting... Diving watches seem to be winners. The cheapest of Rolex Subs, 14060M is still available and probably will be replaced with a new model soon. This basic Submariner is closest to the original and the "M-version" has not been around for many y... 

What about...

I appreciate all of your inputs. I'm well aware of wanting to own a time keeper that would suit ones personal joy, but the question was purely geared towards an investment as most of you noticed. What would be your thoughts on the Deep Sea? Thanks, Matrix

In our answers, we tried to explain that there is not evidence on this matter. Nothing is sure, my friend, nothing, except your pleasure. Best, Nicolas

It is a catch 22 really...

....... what you mean for "extra cash". If you can spend 5/10/20K, or 60K, or more............ Every range has its "winner" in my opinion, Explorers, as Nicolas said, are a good choice, underestimated for the moment and you stay fairly below 10K with a go...
