Just get a pre-owned Rolex Submariner, you don't have to wind it, it will keep great time, classic look that never goes out of style, totally waterproof of course, and it will set you back a few thousand. Definitely less than $4k.

Does that watch come in blue? 'Cause I'd only be interested in it if it came in blue.

Psst: Don't sell yours without checking out what they really bring. Unless, of course, you want to unload your Submariner super cheap to me.

If I could afford something like that I'd buy one. The mechanical artistry needed to build them is timeless.

Put it in a pencil case and get an invite to the White House.


Oh, wait....nevermind, that was last year. This year, it gets you nothing.

I seriously don't know. I think new in 1997 mine cost about $4k, but I didn't buy it, it was an award. What would a stainless Submariner go for that's 20 years old? Mine was totally refurbed less than a year ago, looks perfect and works perfect.

I haven't seen any recently for less than $5,500 from a reputable seller. Yours would likely bring more because of the recent service by a great Rolex service guy.
