I have owned several Rolex watches. They always spent more time in the safe than on my wrist. Fortunately, I was always able to get (close to) my investment back. Rolex watches are good for that. The current market, especially the grey market is fucking out of control although it's starting to correct.
If you like the look of the Rolex sport watches and don't mind being called a poser by the Rolex purists, then consider a Steinhart. Excellent quality and automatic watch movements. Keeps time as good or better than any Rolex.
Here's my daily wear. 42mm Ocean GMT with a cyclops delete option. Jubilee style bracelet. It's a black dial, photo color looks different.

That's a Good looking watch. Yes your right rolexes are a great investment. My last one I bought for 8600.00 and it went up to 12500-13500 in two years. Unfortunately I lost it in a tragic accident. It was a 16613lb bluesy my wife bought it for me for our 30th wedding anniversary. It had a lottt of sentimental value to it

I went on a cruise 10 years ago.
Last day at sea they had a sale of all the junk they didn't sell during the cruise, I bought a watch for $10.00 it still runs and keeps perfect time.
Keep your Rolexs.

I've got a Breitling that I really like, but I can't remember the last time I've worn it, or ANY of my watches...except my Garmin. I'm spoiled with smart notifications, and I use the heart rate and activity recordings often.
Sure, there are people that think fancy watches are a waste of money, and that's just fine. To me, to put on a custom made suit, high end shoes and a very nice watch is a treat. Who says you can't polish a turd?
