A Rolex is a thing of beauty. My dad bought one while working overseas with the State Department. He was young and grew up desperately poor. He was given a stipend and his CO suggested he spend it on a Rolex since his food and lodging were all paid for. He had never heard of a Rolex.So he bought the Rolex having no idea what level of fine it was until years later. He was about 24 when he bought it and wore it every day until he died at 74. He took it off once while he was working in his vegetable garden and forgot where he’d left it. It was missing for a year. I was playing in the garden the next summer and spotted it sitting on a fence post. He was thrilled and it still worked perfectly. My brother now wears it daily. Edit: I hope you find one you love! May you wear it as long as my dear father did.
