Point 1) Right now , $7,600 on your hand is appreciating at about the same rate as the money in the bank. At around 0% p.a. . Yes , if you sell now you won't get back all of it , but in a year or two , you probably will. So unless you lose it , and its not insured , its as safe as money in the bank.

Point 2) Could you turn it into more money.... well sure you could (maybe) but with risk to the original capital amount - risk and reward stuff - whereas with Rolex there is no risk



So go buy a Rolex .....
