Ask yourself do they still make Rolex watches? It's been about 75 years since they made a Parker! As they say "it takes a lickin and keeps on ticking", buy the Parker! Gary

That's an easy one for me. I'd simply remind myself of the old Yiddish expression, "Rolex, Schmolex!"

I have a very nice "wearing" watch, a sixties vintage Omega Seamaster winder. I dug it up on a skeet field about 35 years ago while doing some landscape repair, and could never get anyone to admit they had lost it. Every couple of years, it quits and I take it to a very skilled local watchmaker to get it running again. I don't need another watch, so I think I'll buy another Parker.

The time and date are on my cell phone, and it automatically changes when I cross time zones. What do I need a watch for?

As an owner of both a Rolex and Parkers, I would offer a compromise. Take the money you were going to spend on a brand new Rolex and buy a used Submariner. The styles have changed very little and you can find one for easily half to a quarter of the cost of a brand new one. Take the rest of the money and buy another Parker. Win Win!

I personally would give it a lot of thought. I can tell you what a divorce cost.
