Just contacted my local rolex retailer, they're pretty much out of everything. I guess the supply chain has been awful due to covid.

Anyway, for the sub, I like the two-tone dial with the blue and gold. Also like the classic Oyster Perpetual, 36mm though. It's not that I have small wrists, I just find the smaller face to be far more aesthetically pleasing and /fa/. I also like the Explorer II. Also, the milgaus is pretty fucking dope to see in person.

This is true. I believe one of the first things you're recommended to do as a real estate agent or anything with face-to-face sales is to purchase a Rolex. Even a fake one will do since most people literally have no clue what a Rolex looks like aside from the name and crown, and would be unable to spot a fake one.

Also, the utility and ability of the watch to be used in all scenarios of life make it valuable. You can wear it swimming, in the ocean, in the shower, playing tennis, doing whatever and it takes a beating and still goes on like new. They are also a surprisingly safe store of wealth, and doubly so if you have one with precious metals in them (though you pay an extreme premium for those over their oystersteel counterparts).

I haven't liked any of the Holy Trinity brands for the past 20-30 years. Patek and Vacheron have much cheaper movements and AP is ironically the nicest but caters hard to rapper trash.

I understand that some of these expensive watches hold up their value and basically allow you to carry a small fortune on your wrist. That being said, has any of you faggots seen anybody selling their expensive watch and getting a good price for it? Does this actually happen in the real world or are they more like diamonds: you pay fuckton of money for them thinking they are worth something, but when you actually try to sell them you get jackshit for them.

Good taste. I like Rolexes that are a bit different.

itt; zero taste

you fags go for rolex and lambos because they scream "i have disposable income" from a mile away, its the only luxury shit normies can actually identify and thus view you as "rich"

pathetic. I will have a watch worth more than 5 submariners combined yet no one will bat an eye at it
