master race rolex owner reporting in

>>21970718
didn't know Pillsbury Doughboy had a rolex

Rolexes are the watch that plebs think rich people wear. Anyone with even the slightest bit of class, money or knowledge of watches wouldn't even consider wearing a Rolex.

>>21970798
This is how I know you're retarded. You think I actually give a shit what "old money" does? You know why old money doesn't wear those kind of things? All this "down to earth" shit is actually coping. They're embarrased of their money because they didn't get it themselves but their parents/ancestors did. Why the fuck would I wear a watch that only "insiders" know? MOST people are retards and most people know Rolex or AP. I'm proud to come from a poor background and I don't want to larp as a "classy" or "old money" person, fuck that.

>>21970861
*and the worst part is by trying to larp as "classy" or "old money" you're not going to fit in anywhere. Old money will never accept you because you're not old money and the parvenu people are just going to laugh at you trying to be someone you're not.

>disrespecting the crown
ngmi

>>21970798
Actually this is the classic "I know so little about the topic but enough to think I'm smart" trope
Yes Rolex is "the brand" but any real watch collector still respects them and probably wants to own one.

>>21970618
Omega is preferred

>>21970917
still doesnt changes the fact that you are gay and overcompensating

>>21970950
correct. they are also, arguably, the best assets in watch collecting. Rolex SS sports watches have continued to hold and/or increase in value over the decades. not many other brands can claim that. Sure, Rolex makes a few pleb-tier watches but subs and daytonas have been and continue to be great investments as well as timepieces.

>>21970798
I'm embarrassed for you because you think any of us gives a fuck about what some inherited-wealth-boomers want. Oosh.

ROLEX OWNERS BTFO BY THE 1/1 FAKE

>>21971343
What is the best Rolex for investing purposes? I am very unfamiliar with watches

I will have this one day.

>>21971477
imagine being broke and also so insecure that you unironically buy a fake Rolex to 'fit in'. imagine wanting and needing attention that badly, while also being so oblivious to your own failures. embarrassing. i'll never understand the people that buy those.

>>21971596
pretty cringe I agree

>>21971515
stainless steel submariners, sea dwellers, GMTs, and daytonas (sports models) all hold their value exceptionally well. in the current market, SS rolex watches regularly trade and sell for 2x and 3x their MSRP, even used. rolex literally cant make them fast enough and some of the most popular ref numbers have 2-5 year waiting lists at authorized dealers. you simply cant get them without paying an absurd premium

>>21970718
wow look at that

I can't believe people buy shit like the nautilus and royal oak
Lmao 70s design peices of shit that can't even be worn in the shower. Great sport watch lmao
Patek and audemars are nigger brands now

A lange and sohne are the only based watch brand that isn't Japanese

>>21971560
great piece. you find older, ss models very reasonably priced on the second-hand market too. truly a classic. great taste, anon

>>21971596
Because Rolex are shit overpriced watches with simple, easily faked movements, poor finishing and not worth spending the full price on. I'd rather wear the fake and save my money for a real heirloom.

>>21971695
>A lange and sohne are the only based watch brand that isn't Japanese

I would definitely pay full price for a GS. Really great watches.

>>21970618
Zoomer with 100k+ Link

>>21971695
i actually agree w/ this. patek to a lesser extent than AP, but the newest 44mm RO offshore line is very clearly targeting new money niggers. giant sized, camo straps, outrageous MSRPs for a steel watch, etc... rappers and ape-hoop players start wearing them and the old money starts to looks else where.

lange makes great stuff. the datograph and 1815 up/down are definitely on my short list, at the moment.

>>21971728
so you're insecure AND retarded. ngmi

>>21971863
How does any of that imply insecurity, retard? I don't think the watches are worth what they charge. Simple as.

>>21970861
>new money, nigger rich cope

You know why old money doesn't waste their money on Lambos, Supreme, and a bunch of flashy shit? It's because they learned early in life that the key to generational wealth is to invest your money and not splash it on gaudy material goods that will go out of style and lose their value in two years' time. That's why they keep their homes with classic furnishing, high valued art, and drive in antique cars that have been passed down and maintained through generations.

Good on you for digging yourself out of poverty and being able to afford a Rolex. Regardless of the type, they will appreciate in value, but not by a crazy amount. Old money appreciates refinement more than anything. If you have proper etiquette, are personable, and don't dress and act like a nigger you can get into the old money social circles, thus guaranteeing your future generations an easier, better-off life.

>>21971876
and yet, you still desire one enough to buy a fake.

>>21971905
Its the same watch.

Had a sub and a batman. Sort of lost interest, and the current prices are laughable. If i were to get another one it would be a new 36mm datejust

>>21971915
The movement is not the same my noob v9 broke after a week

>>21971915
>same
whatever helps you sleep at night, Chang. stay poor

>>21971897
What a pile of bullshit. I had plenty of old money at college and instead of wearing those kind of watches they spent god knows how much money on cocaine (I've seen it with my own eyes). They were just as, if not more, materialistic as me but the difference was they wouldn't wear such a watch because if someone asked them "what do you do for a living" they would either have to lie or admit that they're just spoilet brats. Stop talking about shit you don't know. It's not like in the movies.

>>21970618
wearing my 116610ln right now, new sports model being released on sept 1st

think itll be a new sup? im looking forward to an updated case.

>>21970618
Tasteless faggots the lot of ye

>>21971958
the rumor is a new gold daytona w/ ceramic bezel, new solid yellow gold sub w/ green dial/bezel, and a new GMT color variant

>>21970964
omega is and always will be cope. except the ploprof
>>21971477
based, you can't even tell the difference anymore. the vr3135 movements are solid built, or clone eta's. half the asian eta's run better than the swiss. and if it dies you can just put a swiss movement in for $80-250 and have a watch that'll last forever.

don't let them shit on you anon, they are unaware of pertinent information

>>21971515
Submariner or daytona

>>21972023
ive seen the gold hulk mock ups, not really a fan desu. something about the gold and green bezel makes me feel queezy. but the 116718 with the green dial is sexy. that's on my radar for sure

>>21972052
Omegas are starting to increase in price. If they cut production numbers like Rolex they would be desired even more

>>21972052
forgot about the speedmaster professional moon watch. literally worn on the moon and the only watch flight-certified by NASA. doesnt get much cooler than that. i agree omega makes too many special editions and variants of their watches, but the moon watch should be at least considered by every serious watch-guy

>>21972117
their movements are choice but I tried so hard to like omega and never could. to each his own though.

I really like the spring drive grand seikos now. but they're charging rolex prices these days.

>>21972217
This

Moon watch is OG

Tremendous amount of butthurt ITT

>>21972095
i liked the green dial/black bezel gold GMT from a few years ago but honestly i think solid gold tool watches, like the sub, are silly

Dis what a real g wear

>>21970718

Nothing but fucking plebs and sheeple on this board

>>21971863
He's completely right tho. My brother has a submariner, compared it to my $700 Orient Star and mine is way better finished.
Not worth it, you can buy a super clone for $400 and get the same exact thing, including movement, it's plebeian watch anyway.

>>21970618

One day (not even this far).

Explorer II reporting. Thx for all the advice /biz/

yachtmaster is the ugliest watch ever

only niggers and boomers wear expensive watches. stop LARPing.

Sell the watch get a personal trainer

>>21972217
how the fuck do you fight certify a watch. >buy a shitty timex and book a southwest flight and dump it on some marc for a 10x telling him yep, it worked the whole flight.

>>21973799
>orient star
>better finished
Maybe next to a 60s sub, don't be a pleb. Grand Seiko sure, citizen also had better polished pieces than Rolex but orient lmao no

Why would I want to signal to the world that I'm a middle-manager with a bad sex life?
