Moreover Rolex are said to retain their resale-value pretty well. A Rolex can live 30+ years, be re-sold or inherited many times, and still work like on the first day.

After 4 years it's a slab of gold with obsolete electronics and a dead battery inside... In just a few years your $10k watch will be worth as much as the material its made from, minus the cost to salvage it...
