My mate has one that he picked up for really cheap with frequent flyer points. Not a big fan of the size!

I agree, presentation and perception does have a lot to do with it, in addition to context. It's all related!

NB: Orey's rule would apply here, orey, what asset worth required to wear a 80K watch like this http://www.amazon.com/IWC-IW504207-P...2275032&sr=1-7 guessing the multiples would be higher than his car calculation

I don't really care about what people think, i.e the real vs fake thing -- I sometimes tell people its a fake to shut them up I just hate being asked by random people who have no idea who you are. It devalues the watch IMO.
I bought it after hitting some personal milestone and they're great for reminding me of my personal achievements. Not sure how well they appreciate to be honest. I'm happy to wait it out and pass it on if needed. The watch maker where I get it serviced every now and then said Submariners hold their value pretty well...not sure on exact numbers though.

Intresting exp at the Hour Glass.
Tried on a few watches. Highlight had to be the complete gold rolex submariner - $37,999!. You'd get rolled walking out of the shop lol Cruvon - im just not sure about buying watches online, personal preference is to walk into a shop and make a purchase. |

I guess I would def try out the looks in a shop but if the cash diff was too much prefer a reputable online store or go thru" Amazon, the same vendor is there too.

Well, do agree that a bit of gold does look classy on a dress watch but can't really wear a gold watch for daily or frequent use without looking gangsta, plus I would fancy using a watch priced that high very frequently to make the best use of it.
