I like that.
and you guys thought my taste in watches was ‘suspect’ ? Hmmm
I know someone with one of these and he was trying to sell it a year back for £2k. He got offered £1.8k from a shop and he took it off the market. He’d only worn it 5 times.
Do you own a Porsche?
A proper Air King, although I’d have it in blue over Salmon…
I really should have been more specific…
White Transit with a fucked turbo.
I’d have my iffy Oris over it in Salmon !
Worst choice for retaining value
Yeah.
No Porsche? Are you sure you’re a plumber?
Builders have Porches, plumbers have Bentleys. Do keep up.

Builders have Porches
…but I would never have a Rolex…
oh wait…maybe an early Daytona with the El Primero movement…maybe, but as previously mentioned, they are now very silly money indeed
You wear that in Norfolk they’ll think your surname is Abramovich…
Well, if I could afford one, I could probably afford to buy a football club too - maybe a Nth London one that needs a new manager
Hahahahah. Not. You’re right about the manager though, my watch says it’s time he fekked off.

fekked

Rolex prices are just utterly batshit,
Typically they track to inflation and CHF/£
A quick look shows the 2008 list as £5000 for a base Daytona, current list is £9550.
£5000 with inflation is about £6300, pound has fallen from 2 to 1.25 ish, gets you about £10k.
