[QUOTE="Ray Finkle, post: 2481616, member: 4981"] I got a Tag Formula 1 when I went to college. My parents weren't going to buy me a watch because I never wore one in high school. I was always afraid of someone jacking one in the locker room, so just avoided it all together. I found the Tag and was going to spend my own money on it. They budged after I demonstrated that I was willing to purchase a nice timepiece. A lot of my fraternity brothers had Rolex watches and I always wanted one. My father was very adamant that it was something I needed to buy myself. He bought my sister a Rolex for graduation but again, as a man, something I needed to purchase myself. I started with a Pepsi blue faced Datejust. I had it for a couple of years and then had an issue with it. The jewelry repair place was going to repair it when I casually asked if they had any Submariners. He had a silver and gold blue faced Sub and we started negotiating with me trading-in the Datejust. It was a 30th birthday gift to myself. I agree with the keeping their value comment. If I ever was in a pinch, I could get a respectable chunk of money out of it. Also, men don't wear a lot of jewelry. A watch and a wedding band is it for a lot of men. So why not spend $4-5K on something you'll wear for life that won't go out of style? [/QUOTE]
