Go forth and be merry! Either way, you won’t regret your decision. My biggest reason to buy a Rolex is when I want to upgrade, I can cash it that day for basically what I paid for it. After selling three Omegas, unless you firesale them, it takes months to sell and you’ll always lose your ass. ---

just want to say that i read every word Beck typed and agree with it all. the Rolex economy is always strong. Personally i would only buy second hand to prevent losing my ass on selling an Omega. I believe that since you had to ask the question you should find a good second hand PO with full kit and save the couple grand. Buy it at a price where you are protected from any major loss a few years down the road if you decide to sell. ---

Soooo… rumors suggest that the Apple iWatch will release with the Edition model in 18k rose gold with a 18k gold bracelet and it will be north of $10,000 and perhaps as high as $20,000 > **[Daring Fireball: On the Pricing of Apple Watch](https://daringfireball.net/2015/02/apple_watch_pricing)** > > I now think Edition models will start around $10,000 — and, if my hunch is right about bands and bracelets, the upper range could go to $20,000. > After the gala announcement event in September at which Apple introduced Apple Watch and whatever last year’s iPhone was, I ran into SlashGear editor-in-chief Vincent Nguyen in the private hands-on area Apple had set up for select members of the media. When we got to the Edition models, Vincent said, with some excitement, “This is going to cost $20,000.” i guess it does make some sense and i would be impressed if they do this because it will really expose some of the illusion in the price of swiss watches. really curious to see what the impact will be. so outside of the box too. i would have loved to high five the Apple people who first incubated this idea and then put in the work. most other sources are assuming the 18k version will be $5k roughly > **[Could Gold Apple Watch cost $5,000?](https://www.cnet.com/culture/could-gold-apple-watch-cost-5000/)** > > Is Apple really going to compete with the high-end watch brands? Some speculate that most of the Apple Watches will be pricey. this latter piece is a better read. ---

> [@LZ](#): > > And? Its all gold :lol: > > You can get a basic one for $350 Yes, I know. The cheapest is the Watch Edition with a sport strap, while the two most expensive (38mm in rose gold or yellow gold) are priced at $17,000. It’s also a piece of technology that will need to be replaced later with a newer version… Didn’t want to start a huge debate, I really don’t care if it was $2k or $50,000. Just curious to see what everyone thinks of the price point. Much like the Ford GT thread, I’ll never own one so it doesn’t apply to me.
