The peculiarities that we each possess creates the desires that differentiate us. This is why some individuals choose to wear time pieces from companies like TagHeuer, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Breitling, Maurice Lacroix, Piaget, Rolex, and many other luxury brand wristwatches, while others enjoy more mainstream wrist watches from Seiko, Citizen, and Bulova. Others see no need for anything more than a Casio, Caravelle, or Timex watch. Some folks simply use the clock on their cellphone, and see no need for a wristwatch at all.

Fortunately, for all of us, this is what keeps life interesting and challenging. I am all for the differences.

Unlike some other watches, Rolex does retain value and moves up in price.
Their movements are not great (sloppy workmanship) compared to others, but have worked for decades.
The lucky thing for collectors is most everyone, has heard of Rolex, which creates a demand and their price is within grasp of most people if you buy used.
Other uber end watches, are not so well known by the public and not within $ grasp.
Which makes for a tougher fire sale...to pay for college.

An example, find a good deal/steal on a used Daytona Rolex, and you will have an asset, which will gain value as soon as you put it on your wrist.
