Think they take it apart, clean it, do the windings and whatever else. Then they reseal it and send it back. This costs about £175 each year.

What I am trying to get at is I think any watch around this price range will probably need the same care and attention. So investment wise if you are looking at 10 years you have spent your 4.5k plus another 1.75k on making sure it stays to its high standard. Somehow I doubt any watch would increase in value much more than the investment required initially and over a prolonged time period to make it worth it.

Now if its just to wear a nice watch as rewards for your hard work go ahead. But at that price range unless you have an intimate knowledge of certain watches it would be hard to make money on it
So basically you only have use of the watch for 11.5 months every year

Don't put your address in the tabloids or the same Burglars as robbed Badly Dack will be round.

I still think that was suspect. I doubt he can tell the time!

I think the company doing his services are milking him there. You'd normally get it serviced every five to ten years.

If he's using it for diving regularly then you might get the seals tested each year but a full service every year is over the top.

Our Jofra looks to be wearing a rather nice time piece. I'm guessing it's worth a princely sum hence he prefers to wear it whilst bowling rather than leave it in the dressing room.

Don't bother with them Rolexs, aren't what they are made out to be. I binned the fuker. Fella int watch shop in Nelson said I had been ripped off, wouldn't mind it cost me 25 euros
