[surestik]

For me, I used abt 3 yrs time to convince her then she approved my 1st SD..

Three years is a long time, I really admire your patience and perseverance

In 3 years, I think Rolex has already increase at least 3 times in their list price....

3 years ago, 16710 only cost around S$4.8k. Now someone asking $10.5k for a 16710 with 3186 movement....

If you save 3 years for around $5k, it means you will have to save another 3 years for your watch.... ha ha ha

If can predict like tat, then u help me la... Say nw I start to save for a ROLEX Sub(date) which is costing around $7k at current. I give myself 2yrs to buy one. How much will I hv to pay for one 2yrs later?

[Darkangel]

2 years is a big change...something like 1k++ difference....

EASY!

Since Sub(date) is retail for $8228 and assuming a 5% increase every year, it will cost around $9100 in 2 years.

If you assume that there is no new model coming out for the sub in the next two years, you will have to save about $13 per day. (that's not too bad for someone who don't smoke like myself).

Well a year ago when we started out SG-ROC...the price of a Submariner had just increased to $7444....then after a few months $7931 and to now $8228.

You do the math
