Default An interesting parker question from my wife

So I was teasing my wife about our 10 year anniversary coming up and if she would buy me a nice shotgun as a gift.

Her response was interesting. She asked me if I had the amount of money to buy the Rolex Submariner I have always liked but can't commit the funds to purchase. Would I get the Rolex or a similarly priced Parker, a CH I would imagine.


After looking at her for about 5 minutes I surprisingly couldn't decide. I find the shotgun the more practical, but I have other parkers and love watches, even if mine are cheap self winding imitations, but I think history shows the Rolex is the better investment.

Inquiring minds and all that....
