6 min 58 seconds. Viewed not read. The scenario was hypothetical but that was my memory of it. But the depreciation and cost of the headlamp correct. The Audi A8 is actually only worth $50K not $75K and with extras cost over $300K brand new in 2012.

The whole video is excellent and speaks plenty about depreciation and some bloke having to replace the transmission of an X5 for $15k.

PS I regularly chat to John. Met him through work The guy is eccentric but a legend.

Can you put in a good word with him and see if he can get me a new Santa Fe?

A new Rolex only needs to be serviced every 10 years. Cost is about $1k. They also maintain and even appreciate in value. Especially the stainless steel sports models. Cars don't .
My Casio didn’t like it when I started fisting barnyard animals.

Yeah but what if a tradie backs into it and dings the case ?

That is the only type of watch a clumsy merkin like me should be allowed to wear.

Any nice watch I have ever had I end up scratching the f**k out of.
This is known as the ultimate square. It has DLC coating and a stainless steel case back and holds its price like a Rolex. It is the ultimate beater and the only G Shock you will ever need. Problem is it costs $400 when similar ones without its credibility amongst enthusiasts which look similar costs about $100.

There are lots of disaster stories about the cost of parts for luxury vehicles, I’m sure. I am on my 3rd Mercedes and can honestly say that I have only ever paid the standard service fee, save wiper blades, filters etc.

The car gets serviced every 15,000 km and it costs me about $800 at the dealer. That’s about once a year and it comes back detailed. :call_me:

I f**king love my watches Gronk. I'm now not selling the Omega. Should get the Rolex by the third quarter of this year. I did a nice Seiko Fifty Fathoms mod which I'm selling soon. I prefer the original look of the Seiko SNZH55J. That watch is awesome for the price. When I see someone wear it I always think they are a style master. It's not always about price.

I had a second hand Merc. Scratched an itch and then I sold it. Never again.

I’d happily pay $400 for something like that.

However, I’ve gotten so used to having an iPhone in the pocket these days that I would only wear a watch as an accessory rather than for practical purposes.
