Not that I would get rid of my Rolex, but I have been offered more than I paid for it on a trade in and briefly considered doing so at the Rolex store in Aruba for a two tone datejust.

I had a couple grand burning a hole in my pocket and it was the Rolex or an Aristocrat humidor. Carlos talked me into the Rolex. Robert wasn't wearing it much and we worked out a very good deal.

On a sad off topic note, a buddy at work has been having some problems, and his Submariner just "disappeared" and he claimed the insurance and blew the money. Doubt he'll ever get another one and his story is very sad and is about to involve a BMW next.
