You could, though you won´t plausibly be having a shot of making your money back and maybe a profit on an SM...you´ll only have a watch to enjoy not the added value of the equivalent of also a ticket in a raffle*.
* I only went with raffle having taken on board the Rolex CEO´s comment that it´s dangerous to think of their watches as investments.
Obviously none of this is in any way directed or personal, and it´s humorously, kindly meant.

I was going to say that we can't do that because they aren't expensive / collectible / twatty enough to satisfy us watch nerds. Then I remembered you can spend £5,700 on a 40th anniversary MRG-B2000SG-1ADR. Definitely worth it though as "This symbolism of strength and functional beauty is equally true of the samurai warrior’s kabuto helmet....the bezel captures the maedate crest with a ferocious tiger design". It's surely only my own ignorance that makes it look pretty similar to the ones that cost £200.
Let's be honest, it's blokes isn't it?
[sexism] If we were all female watch nerds on the forum then we'd only post about how great each others watches look, then busily PM each other about who's got a fake, whose watch doesn't suit them and makes them look a proper tart, etc. [/sexism]
^ Hahah.
Also, every recommendation is usually a TAG Heuer. (I read the mumsnet watch threads)
I think the only reason I survive here is because i'm on the spectrum which gives me a similar level of dispassionate brain bore as my fellow citizens.
Oh god absolutely.
Bloody love Mumsnet.
