Don't visit here often but this thread had me literally
LMAO.
Even drilled down to the types of watches I enjoy most, superb.
Agree with Ged on the hardiness and durability of Rolex versus the
premier Swiss dress watches, but the problem I've had with Rolex,
at least in the past, was the watch face and overall size were too
big to look right/suit many Asian wrists, including mine...since
corrected with the smaller face lines in the 90's. As for
liquidity, I'd think chances are if you're in a tough enough spot
that you can't get cash to you in some form, and you've got to
bargain your way out they are just as likely to cut it off your
wrist as trade you for it. I take the opposite approach, never wear
a nice watch when you travel...it invites trouble, and I've been in
some dicey spots where you wouldn't even want your watch to read
"Polex".
