Thread all abt ROLEX - Part 2

[gazar1]

Yes, purchase history is very important. Ultimately, its all about dollars and cents.

So much criteria to sell a Rolex yet the most dulan thing is we don’t get commission by selling rolex lol, unless is old stock that are hard to move.

How to justify? When I bought mine new, it was $4k. I sold it for $5k after years of use (quite beat up condition). And nobody thought the Explorer 2 would appreciate at the time. It was the uncool sibling of the family. Now it’s closing $10k.

When it comes to Rolex steel professional models, just buy as soon as you can. Don’t think too much. No need to mull over $1-2k difference. If you’re not a flipper, it doesn’t matter because it will all balance out with time. It becomes irrelevant after a while whether you paid $4k or $7k or $9k. You’ll be too busy enjoying it.

Yep. Just buy what you like (and within your pocket limits) and enjoy the watch.
Rolex in itself can hold its price quite well. Say worst case scenario you need cash and go pawn shop, also dont lose so much.

Compared to other brands which has lesser market demands, doesn't matter how much your watch is worth if there is no buyer.

Enjoy the wrist time

Cash converter the worst place to sell

Haha, but best place to buy if you dare... last time i posted a submariner selling for $7,000 at cash convertor. Watch only, no cert, no box, no spare link.

Then hulk selling $13k... watch only as well.

price of hulk now is scary... the one who bought for 13k now, can have a tidy profit.

Dun lowball the bro. I got this SD 4K bought in 1997 for below 6k sold off last year for $12k double the price after 23 years of use.
Now sports model You can’t get any for less than 10k unless it’s the explorer 2.

What are my chances of getting a two tone sports at AD after ** ends?

Two tone apparent are the least popular models

RSC dont do authentication but send in for servicing should do the trick.

Anything steel and above are not hard to get. But it takes time la. Not exactly OOS or reserve for customers one.

Two tone sports is now the proverbial prawn when the steel model “fishes” are not available.

Fwiw blue two tone sub is quite popular also

I can't seem to bring myself to buy a 2-tone. I had an opportunity to buy a rose gold/steel root beer but couldn't bring myself to buy it.

They just have a not-here-not-there look in my eyes. It's either "I wanna be a baller and want a full gold watch, but can't afford one" or "I can't get a steel Rolex so this will have to do".

Had a full rose gold Daytona for a while, and I felt uncomfortable wearing it. It's like I have "DOUCHEBAG" tattooed on my forehead. Sold it off probably wearing it less than 10 times.

White metals still work best in most situations. White gold looks great but is somewhat fragile. It scratches and stretches easily. So at the end of the day, steel is still the best option for me.

Having said that, I do appreciate 2-tones on other people. My female doctor wears a 2-tone Daytona and I think it looks fantastic on her.

It takes a certain level of confidence (and perhaps age as well) to put on a two and tone/precious metal watch (for a guy) and have no concerns about being viewed as a douchebag..

Wonder if i will get there.. lol

I don’t know why but When I see other people wear a TT sub or gmt. Most of the time I feel that it’s damn nice and the person got taste. Then when I had chances to try it on, I feel have no feel or even a bit erxin.

But TT Daytona just cannot make it. Damn ugly I feel

To me, Most people who wears a gold sub (6 digit reference) and everose Daytona , I think they got taste but my wife feels that I damn tasteless hahahaha

Same lah. I look at other people wear Everose Daytona look damn chio. So much that I went to buy one. Then whenever I wore it, I just feel that I look like I’m trying too hard...

When I bought my Lange 1, I had it in my mind that I was going to buy the rose gold version. And I thought and mulled over it for more than a decade, literally. Then in the shop when I put on all 3 (yellow/rose/white), I still couldn’t bring myself to buy it. I just had to buy the white gold one.

I guess I’m not meant to look rich
