It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun

It is better to buy a real significant book with a new insight than a Rolex...I will be ashamed to own one as i will be ashamed to own any "flashy" deLuxe object ... Why not the first corvette model? Or better a Bugatti 1934 ?

i just can suggest two completely different life changing books anyway , one about mammals and the other about the mathematics of artificial consciousness...

I can be a "snob" too...And i want to see if you had curiosity out of Rolex...

😊😉

It seems most people think they had see and know what a mammal is and they dont give a damn about artificial consciousness ... They all want a Rolex ...But perhaps not "most" only some...

This "thread" is the right place to describe these two books , amazing life changer, for anyone ready to read them for sure... 😁

If you prefer i can recommend a changing life book about sounds....Not a recipe book a fundamental disturbing deep book...

I only buy books and music...No Rolex...

@maghister,

As soon as I got ca$h, I buy...

I do buy musical artifacts. I prefer for instance Rolex or Patek instead of cash. Sometimes I like diamonds and certainly do like firearms, not because of their violent nature, but because of their overall value.

i understand you for sure even if i dont do it myself...

And i apologize for my "snubbish intellectual " post and as usual my too serious mood in your humorous thread.....😁

I was too  happy to take the occasion to talk "books"... 😊

A Timex will tell you the time just as well as a Rolex but perspective matters. If I were a watch collector instead of an audiophile ,I would undoubtedly stick with the watch. If I just considered it a piece of timekeeping jewelry, I would sell it to get something more practical to me.

Disregarding personal likes and obsessions, IMHO, a two tone daytona will hold its value better. Also, depending on the exact model, and its particular provenance, the daytona will appreciate more and more quickly than most if not all stereo components. In general, again IMHO, stereo components, like most cars, are depreciating assets.  There are tricks and procedures, though, hence the hobby.
