Drawbacks & Benefits to owning charmex cx 20,000feet swiss miliatry watch 20000

Rolex makes something like 5 to 10 million watches per year, I don't know where you live but I haven't seen a rolex in the wild in years. Rolex are one of the few brands that get sold as like new year after year, I think most sit is drawers and are only pulled out for "special" occasions.

I only see them amongst sales and business types (for whom it appears to be part of the uniform), and the occasional retiree. If I didn't go into the city or visit my folks' retirement complex I would probably never see them either.

So you are saying it would be hard to recoup even $2000 for it??? I knowpaying retail is crazy since the ebay/forum prices are in the $2200-$2500 range...

In my opinion, I think you could recoup your money. This is based on me almost buying one of the two CX20k's you listed awhile ago. The only reason I did not was the color. I do regret not buying the black one from you when I had the chance.

Beyond being defensive, your post doesn't make sense based on what I said.

James Bond never thought his watch can be resold for $60,000 last year.

Back in the 1930s, who would've thought a 10-cent comic book would sell for $1.5 million today?

Enjoy your watch, it's a collector's piece.

In south Orange county like Newport Beach, Cotto De Caza, Rancho Santa Margarita, Ladera Ranch, Irvine, Mission Viejo, Costa Mesa, San Juan Capistrano and other beach communities all the way to San Diego, Rolexes are as common as Porsches and Lamborghinis.

I'm guessing where you live makes you way more wealthy (not talking monitarily either) than some City slicker stuck in a mass of city crap, being in the boonies may look like a bad choice from a distance, but living in it then you know real wealth.

Ironically a pretty large percentage of the Rolexes PAM's? and so on that are seen in the wild are probably fakes, as many want the prestige without the price tag, maybe that is why fakes are so popular and sell more in volume than the original.
Love that uniform comment too.

Fremantle isn't really the boonies, though its not New York either. Its primarily a working port and a tourist town; a pretty laid back place and a great lifestyle. There is lots and lots of money here but I really don't see many Rolexes to be honest...until you go into the Perth central/financial areas. Then they are as common as the patent black high-heels

Yes, I agree with you ---- Rolex has become a norm ----they are very common -- but depends where you live ----
They are not literally everywhere but seeing one is no big deal at all....

Would love to see some walking around video of this, not that it's overly relevant to anything but would love to see some real world evidence of how common the rolex brand is in various places.
