EIther 2 or 3. But as another poster suggested, maybe both if you buy preowned :)

another vote for Rolex

chanel-girl · Jun 30th, 2009, 01:56 AM

I like pearls but personally I can't see spending $10,000 on them, even south sea pearls. Could you find them for less? You could also get a pre-owned Kelly. My choice would be the Rolex and the 2 tone roman is under your limit so you will still have some to save. I would get which ever you can see yourself getting the most use out of and having for a long time as a special purchase. Which do you really want the most?

with your budget, you can get all 3 items - if you are willing to accept the rolex & kelly from secondhand market. shop around more, there are many bargains/fire sales out there for luxury goods & you can find them in well-kept condition.

My vote is on the KELLY!!

Oh boo! That's way too practical for this forum! LOL!

Well yes that's the RESPONSIBLE thing to do... LOL... but it sounds like you've saved for something special and as long as it's not money you need for living (mortgage etc) then I say treat yourself! Okay yes I'm an enabler... but life is short and if you've saved up for a big treat then I say congrats, go for it!

I wouldn't feel like you HAD to spend all of it either. I'd just buy one thing but one thing that's really special and classic. PERSONALLY... I don't know much about pearls but to me they all kind of look alike ... (I'm pearl ignorant)... but a Kelly bag or a Rolex definitely says "I've arrived"! Not many people wouldn't recognize those as something special. I've heard of lots of people handing Kelly bags down if you take care of them... and the Rolex should hold it's value too - so I'd pick the one of those two you're sure you won't get sick of in 5 years. Maybe I'd go for the watch but I love the bag too!

GOOD LUCK and tell us what you do!

queennadine · Jun 30th, 2009, 09:48 AM

I would def. look for all 3, or even 2, in the pro-loved market!

Get more bang for your buck!

If you're not going to save it...and you are determined to spend it, I'd go for the Rolex

shopalot · Jun 30th, 2009, 05:10 PM

I agree if you don't mind pre-owned then get the Rolex and Kelly!
If it must be brand new, then I'd get the Kelly.
Good luck and happy shopping!!!!

alliemia · Jun 30th, 2009, 05:35 PM

i'd say the rolex. it'll go up in value, i know mine has.
the pearls, you can get a nice deal on Pearl Paradise or Pearl Outlet. both online, i recently bought from pearl outlet and a fraction of the price, and gorgeous quality.
i'd personally go for brand new. i don't buy used luxury goods.

Avril · Jun 30th, 2009, 05:41 PM

I'd go for the Kelly but for $10k you could prob buy a Birkin too, in which case I'd defo vote for the Birkin. It's the ultimate amazing investment piece that exists on this planet!

clarissa74 · Jun 30th, 2009, 11:23 PM

I would keep the money in my bank account.... however......(as told by a good jewish friend)....
