I have a 20-year-old Tag Heuer Link that was a wedding gift that has been on my wrist every day through thick and thin. I just inherited from my FIL a 1987 Rolex Datejust. I sent it out to Rolex for an overhaul and just got it back.I dont understand the fascination with $5K watches other then look at me.
They are both really nice and reliable watches and I enjoy them both. While I could easily go out and buy either of these watches new with little thought as far $, I just would never do it.
So I guess I really like nice but "free" watches...lol
P.S. - Not totally free - the Tag had an overhaul at 10 years and could use another (it is an automatic and starting to run fast) and Rolex overhaul was ~$1000 but it needed a new crystal too.
