timex is good. its innards are ok. but i have to say, the external design, somehow.. it's stagnant.
Reminds me what i told my friends who has rolex watches and they are encouraging me to buy one as well for my self. My reply to them was, what is the difference between the time in your rolex watch as against my watch, it's the same right ? So why the hell go nuts for a damn expensive one when the time is the same.
I have a TUDOR though which i bought for P700 in the early 80's.

yes, the casio or timex, even the cheap child's digital LCD quartz accuracy, will run rings around the rolex's . besides, you no wear the rolex, it stops ticking.
what am i wearing now? a retro casio LCD! not the cheaper-looking 1500, but the "classier" 2500 peso. (both sell for the same, cheaper amount in singapore, btw..)

Sir, i'd rather invest in gold rings , gold necklace , diamonds and the likes for these are easily transactable & maintenance free . Watch? Damn it has maintenance and you have to look for the collectors/aficionados to get a good price.
To sight an example sir. Yung Tudor watch na nabilko ng P700 in 1982, naputol na yung isang shaft dun sa metal bracelet nya. When i asked for an exact replacement from a reputable store in HK, it cost 6K pesos in 1994. Mas mahal pa yung bracelet than the watch when i bought it. I bought a 58gms 999 gold bracelet in HK for 30K pesos in 2000. When the wife of my nephew who happen to work on a pawn shop saw my bracelet, her comment was easy 70K peso just for the pawning, hindi pa selling yun.
BTT : 50k pesos, putek pati friends ko magiging happy pati sila meron babae.
2 Gundam perfect grade 20k then a techomarine black dial 25k.. 5k for foodtrip!
this patek philippe 5004t was sold, according to Forbes, at 3,985,000 USD--
Deym! It looks like any ordinary watch to me bro! Unlike cars na malaman mo talaga na mahal sa hitsura pa lang. Pag may ganyan akong relo, hindi ko tatangalin ang price tag at hahawakan ko un box! Parang un sa passbook lang na isusuot sa leeg tapos sasakay sa PUJ kasi walang SUV! :D
Sa lahat ng watches rolex lang ata ang consistent na tumataas or na reretain ang value, barring ung mga sobrang rare pieces and milyon ang halaga.
most expensive watches are made of titanium and studded with diamonds.
