any watch bros on biz? you like the batman?

is anyone into trading luxury watches? all sports model rolex go over 20-100% premium over retail in after market right at the moment because of high demand from stock market aths, new crypto wealth and a new generation of asia kents getting wealthy in general + artificial low supply from rolex. So people who are good with authorized dealers can make bank

30 year old Boomer here. Only salty poorfags or people that have been into watches for a month or two hate Rolex.

If you buy steel sports Rolex on the used market for the right price it's easy to flip them for a profit if you wait a few years. Most of the new designs with the maxi-dials and mazi-cases are ugly anyway so the pre-mid 00's models that still have classic proportions are likely to go for a premium going forward.

Pic related my daily wear. It's a U-serial with the drilled lugs and the original tritium dial.

Forgot to add:

>not realising that the Timex Easy Reader is the true watch of patricians.

Imagine voluntarily choosing not to bask in timeless style, force your underlings to listen to your watch tick, and being so insecure with your position in life that you feeI compelled to try and signal your networth with your time piece.

Ever notice how a disproportionate amount of wealthy and powerful people favor relatively cheap and understated time pieces? That's because they know that conspicuous consumption is for poor people and classless oafs.

>hate rolex

Nobody "hates rolex." They make watches and sell them for as much as they can get. All they're doing is what a good business should do, and I can't hate on them for that.

What people hate are the plebs who tend to gravitate toward rolex. Pick a random basketball American from a vibrant and diverse neighborhood, tell them that you'll give them a free watch. Bet you 90% want to know if you got dem' rollies.

And that's the thing with a conspicuous consumption item like luxury jewelry. It's a hipster's game. Once the unwashed hordes learn about it, nobody wants it anymore because it's no longer elite or special.

You're missing a huge piece of this. Jews don't fuck stuff up for funsies. They do it so they can profit on something else by getting in cheap and shilling it.

The real redpill on the jews is that they don't spend time thinking about destroying society. They're autistically focused on extracting profit and securing comfort. Any casualties along the way are just a cost of doing business and not a consideration that they give a shit about.

The jews don't think about destroying euro white things any more than a mosquito thinks about passing malaria.

Because they're disproportionately exploitative in how they generate their shekels and are perfectly willing to do so at the expense of society at large.

Whereas the goy might want to fix up a house and sell it for a profit, the Jew is happy to build "affordable housing" in a nice, white neighborhood to drive property values down to shit so they can get a cheap deal on other properties then start gentrifying the area.

Again, they dont give a flying fuck that they just forced two groups of people out of their homes (the first group often at a loss of they didn't get out before property values tanked). To them they just seized a great opportunity to make profit.

You can make loads of money while at least trying to be ethical. Offer a great product, fill an underoccupied niche. It sounds old school, but it still works.

Example? Did you know that in all of New York City there are only like three suppliers of truffles to restaurants in the area? One of them is just some young kid who realised that demand was high enough and supply was small enough that he could cut himself a slice of the action. And he makes a killing because he offers a premium product that lots of people want.

Contrast that with something like, say, passing out subprime mortgages like candy and not giving a fuck if you crash the economy doing it because you know that you'll get bailed on the taxpayer's dime.
