I recently acquired a Rolex Submariner — the diver’s watch.

Except that the one I purchased was an older one — for $4,000 — and was recently appraised at $22,000. Because Rolex doesn’t “produce” that color of blue anymore and — evidently — doesn’t apply that great a degredient of gold to its alternate links on the Submariner. Last produced in that iteration in the early 90s.

The Submariner Date is closest to the one I possess.

Details about this watch here.

I have to admit: the watch is absolutely beautiful — as much as any watch can be. Along this line, so are a few of Casio’s G-Shock watches as well. I envy their existence. I personally possess FOUR alternative watches.

If I am demolished or supported, or oozing supporated bandages, it matters not.

There is always an alternative resource yet untapped.

Or not.

Or perhaps: everyone will soon have to do LESS with LESS.
