About 20 years ago DH really wanted the Rolex Submariner. We were in our early 20's and no way we could afford it. He's always loved that watch and I figured at some point, he'd start tasking about getting it. Last year his 6 year old Garmin was starting to die so we had to buy him a new one, $1200 for that. I then said something about him always wanting a Rolex and he must've dropped that idea. Yep, he said he couldn't give up his Garmin now. So whew, glad that is a closed conversation.

I just googled the current price on that watch. They have 3 and I don't know the difference between them. Cheapest is $9,200 and most expensive is $17k. In reality, while I wouldn't want to spend that much on a watch and value experiences more, I'm sure many folks are spending $9,200 on one trip to Disney.

Wife likes Submariners and purchased this one last month. She does a lot of water activity and this works well. She paid around $18000USD. She purchased the rose gold Rolex about 2 years ago. Also good for the water. I think she paid $32,000 or so. They aren’t cheap but are easily resealable.
