Although I'm not sure what the argument is? You wouldn't buy a Rolex/Porsche because they don't change their design?
A Rolex is not comparable to a Porsche IMO. Rolexes look nice, people lust after them, but underneath they're a bit fragile and need a lot of love. More like a Ferrari or Lambo. The Porsche 911 hasn't changed a huge amount, but then how many other cars have led their class for the last 50 years, constantly being updated to compete with more modern and advanced competitors? Don't be duped into thinking each new 911 is just given a once over by a small team and then sent out into the wild. Each car is a new car. They just look similar. You can buy a car that's more 'unique' and worry about it, or you can buy a car that works. Every time. And will work better than all of its competitors. If you're more worried about what the other buyers of the car you own are like then you're an idiot. Same for watches. Ooh, only kids and wannabe rappers wear G-Shocks. Or people who want a cheap watch that won't break when you fall off your bike from 6ft in the air. That's what it was designed for, that's what it does.
