"Make that Rolex a Patek Phillipe or a Baume Mercier and you'll have a fine watch"
1oz, not bustin' you're balls, but a BM is a complete POS and a PP requires excess care and servicing constantly. Pretty it is, robust, durable, etc. it is not. My family owned three high-end jewelry stores in the Atlanta area and I've been wearing premium Swiss watches for decades. Believe me, there is nothing tougher than a Rolex. Best resale and collector value of all...
while we're at it, my solid 18K white gold PP Calatrava. Hardly ever wear it, but I have one PP in my watch collection...
I'm still wearing my Swiss Army officers model watch, stainless steel ...after about 10 yrs...its been durable ...and classic / not flashy ..... my wife even lets me wear it when I drive her new Lexus convertible ...
