@inna I don't discriminate models at all
The one I have right now I got on good situation and deal. Another similar one comes in, I'll get it Whether it will be Patek or Frank Mueller. I don't like dollars or banks anymore
It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun
If you had Rolex 2-tone Daytona, would you trade it for an audio component, system or would rather not trade it?
For me, personally, I'd still be in research of such component (far a lot easier task vs. researching a system) that will be equal or higher value and keep value same or better... It's darn HARD to look there for me and maybe I'd go to Guitar Avenue and find valuable components there.
You may get different or even better idea
DISCLAIMER:
I am not trying to trade any Rolex Daytona, I just want discharged chat here!

IMHO there's nothing basically flawed with the concept of owning something that represents one of the best examples of human technical competance and art. Having a practical purpose (telling you what time it is) and having an element of portability (you can take it with you almost anywhere) reinforces the "logic" behind owning a high end timepiece. Some of us reach retirement age with the prospect of "this, AND this", where the selection of material things and indulgences is without compromise. Most mortals arrive at that threshold with the more common "this, OR this" where were presented with (sometimes agonizing) choices between who, what, when, where, and why. We had to put down a beautiful creature a few months back. I would have traded a $70k hot rod in the garage in the blink of an eye to get a "warranty extension" on this little guy. It's not just what we enjoy that matters. It's our ability TO enjoy it. If your hearing is still intact, go ahead and throw some money at really good hifi gear, and don't look back (as long as it sounds better). I have a "practice pole" stored horizontally in my garage. It's a good tool to develop your pole vaulting skills. Being a dinged up 73-year-old is not compatible with senior track and field. But, it looks cool in my garage, next to the empty Old Engine Oil beer bottle. It makes me (and others) smile. It's not for sale. I'll close with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsmHXCKQzXE

It's not what I enjoy matters. It's my way of securing funds. No I do not secure funds onto audio equipment and therefore posted some query to see what's reasonable to add as an audio component that will be equivalent to holding value of Rolex. I was always literally DREAMING of owning Marantz Model 9 amp. That one is kinda Rolex in audio. |
