It was all about status and power, so after that I started to observe who wore them and yep, seems they were right. I never could bring myself to get one, after paying for my wife's jewelry there wasn't enough left over lol.
When I bought my current Rolex (it was not my first) I had just become single again and had started to date. It went along with the Ferragamo shoes, Armani suits, Hermes ties and custom made shirts. I was dressing to impress. Yes, it paid off!

Holy Cow has it appreciated in value! Buy Used Rolex President 18038 | Bob's Watches - Sku: 157122
