I agree with everything you say. I have a friend who USED to wear a Rolex Sub. We live in Houston, and he was downtown one night and two thugs approached him and asked for his watch. He asked them if they had a gun. After he got no answer to his question, he proceeded to beat the ever-livin sh#t out of both of the lowlives. Ever since then, his Rolex has been in a safe deposit box where he banks.
Rolex makes a great watch, and I would like to buy one someday, but it just doesn't fit into my life right now (the price tag that is). I also prefer the low key, and understated looks of my Aqua Terra. Just enough bling to keep me happy, but not enough of, as you so stated, "check me out I'm a rich a-hole".
I'm thinking about a black dial GMT next, but have to clear that with the Mrs. I could probably buy that watch and a Bond SMP, and still wouldn't have spent what I would have to spend for one Sub or Sea Dweller....at least for now....til Omega decides it needs to increase their prices annually, as they have lately.
Cheers,
Brian
