My portfolio is looking pretty nice right now. I've never owned an expensive watch in my life. I've only ever worn Seiko's and Casio's. But I love the day date, it's the watch every bad guy wears in the movies. Should I splurge a little and get a used day date or should i reinvest some of my gains into more alts? I'm looking hard at PlotX when it launches.

A fuck load of Rolexs got sold got sold to Asia in the last 15 years. This caused the shortage in the west and inflated prices.
Their economies are going to shit too, the Rolex will be one of the first things to get sold.
Plus most Asians won't buy anything second hand as it's seen as soiled and shameful.
Expect a lot of used Rolex to hit the market in the next few years and the price to tank.
Then OD's will start offering discounts on new watches like they did before.

If you're already a seiko-chad I say stick with it and check out Grand Seiko. Grand Seiko won't be recognised by normies as much as a rolex, but if you're looking for a really high quality watch with excellent time keeping it's a pretty good deal. Most are around 7k IIRC. Search up a video of the spring-drive in action, the second hand doesn't tick, it just drifts along the dial

Honestly OP. I’d get it. The watch looks nice and you’ll feel good every time you look down at it knowing you have Earned it. Ignore people saying you’re just doing it for others validation; they don’t know the feeling of enjoying something nice to that you own for your OWN benefit. You have to enjoy profits eventually or you’ll just stay in the game forever. Don’t beat yourself up if you could have made more money.

I wanna buy an AP Royal Oak by the end of the year and a Rolex OP for daily wear.

What I REALLY REALLY want is this though, but at $250k...not happening anytime soon.
