Newbie looking for some advice

Hi guys,

Joe here, just found your site on Google.

I've just had a big win on a bet of around $7,500 or £5,000 Sterling. I've got a bit of a gambling problem well more than just a bit haha. I've been thinking though that I need to invest this money before I waste it, as I bet in big figures like hundreds and thousands.

Rather than wasting my winnings, I was thinking I might treat myself to a Rolex. There are a few reasons behind this the first being i've always wanted a Rolex, and purely for the fact of being able to say "I've got a Rolex". Another reason though is aswell as being able to enjoy having it. It is a very good asset to have if I ever hit a financial crisis as I'm led to believe they hold their value very good.

If I lost my job for instance and I had a rolex which i paid $7,500 for and I decided to sell it to keep me and my family going, this would easily pay my rent for a year and help me get back on my feet. So aswell as being able to enjoy it, it could also provide some security.

I was just wondering what would be a good Rolex to buy as your first? I like the newer Rolex's rather than the older styled ones. Can you get any for $7,500 and if so how much could you expect to get back on this in 2-3 years. Obviously if I could get $6,000 that wouldn't be too bad as I'd have had the pleasure out of it for 2 or 3 years and got most of my money back, but if I got back say $4,000 I wouldn't be best pleased as this would be nearly a 50% Loss.

I'm sorry if i'm going on, just wanted to know a bit more before I dive in at the deep end and buy one.

Thanks

Joe
