I was looking at watches online today. I found a few Rolex Explorer II's that I really like, for about $4000 - $5000 (CAD).. a reasonable price.

Then I looked for fake ones... $129 US for a fake Explorer II. What a waste of money.

I know you're thinking, "Holy SHIT, how can $5000 be reasoable and $129 be a waste of money???!!!"

People that buy expensive art, must be crazy right?? Not really, there are a few things in the world that will simply never depreciate their value. Art collectors, spend tons of money on art. They hang beautiful pictures on their walls to admire for years. Then they sell the art for roughly the same money that they paid for it. What did they gain? Years of pleasure from having great art around, that in the end didn't cost a thing!

The same works for premium, watches, pens, books etc.

That is one reason why I want a Rolex Explorer II.

The second reason, is because, no matter where I am in the world, I can trade my watch for a couple of plane tickets home.

The third reason, is because I am cooler than you are.
