What would you buy for 50K?

[ClaNker]

Sir maybe they're not suggesting you actually use/wear it, but keep it as an investment.

Ginto maintenance ng mga luxury watches, so talo ka in the long run.

I agree with macsd bili mo ng lang ng gold or diamond then tago mo sa vault kung investment ang nasa isip mo.

[dr. d]

no, doc. dreamur said that kinakalawang na ang sa kanya. i think it's in the plating process or the metals used that timex lagged way behind with its swiss counterpart in watch making. rust proofing and water proofing are not the same obviously. seiko is japanese and it's good.

stainless steel would have been a good choice, but i doubt if they could have sold them at the rock-bottom prices consumers associate with the brand..

hmm, so hindi lang pala tanggal battery, vacuum seal, throw it in vault and forget about it pala. Google first bago bili :p

errr... i believe "real" luxury watches have no battery, sir.

and i can see it now... binili ng napakamahal.. multi-carrot and solid gold or platinum.. keep in vault for 10 years.. tapos, linabas and... verdigris!!!

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.

[Juan Martinez]

most expensive watches are made of titanium and studded with diamonds.

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

Naah! Yung rolex na inaasam-asam ko 575k sa trinoma. Sa 2nd hand rolex shop sa greenhillls 300k na lang. So kung ibebenta mo yung 575k rolex dun sa shop sa greenhills e baka bilihin lang sa iyo ng 200k. One reason i wanted to buy a rolex WAS for investment cause they say its value goes up. But after seeing the rolexs in greenhills hindi na lang.

[Walter]

The value goes up after 100 years.

You can't just keep expensive watches in an ordinary vault. It has to be in a watch vault that rotates the watches so the mechanical system will keep functioning. Some models also need to be oiled for maintenance every few years or so.

[dr. d]

the only real investment i can think of... is real estate. unless they go and decide to build a dam...

everything else... is hit or miss... depending on how long you are willing to wait.

Most rolex's go down in value. Only the special editions and rare ones appreciate. A submariner, explorer, yachtmaster, etc will all go down in value as they are very common and there is a lot of production for these models. There is no way that a used 'common model' rolex will sell for more than a brand new one.

Only rare, limited edition, one of a kind rolexes go up in value. Dont make the mistake of telling yourself a watch is an investment.
