At what net worth should a man purchase a Rolex Explorer?

waste of money. A phone will tell you the time.

I wouldn't get one unless you actually wear watches. Probably $500k+ though. Rolex's hold their value well so honestly you can be a poorfag and buy one if you really want to.

>> No.30172063

I’m going to say $1 million, just because if you’re not a millionaire, you can’t afford anything yet. You gotta retire someday. Don’t wanna work for the man for the rest of your life for a dumb watch.

Wearing a watch signifies that you still haven't made it because you're living on an external timeframe rather than just doing what you want when you want. Even if you're still so attached to the material world that you insist on interacting with society at large, all you should really need to know is whether the sun is out and most people are awake or not.

If you want to impress your peers you should just buy the one in the magazine your peers all read to pretend they're literate and up to date. It's not like any of you know anything about clocks anyway it's just jewelry for men.

Patek has been tarnished by rappers who like to "bust it down" Still a great watch though. Same goes for the Audemars.

Another good watch is Hublot, this one hasn't really been ass raped by rappers.

Or another alternative that OP should consider is vacheron constantin

this and this
I bought a Vostok watch for just this exact reason (and a real flex wristband because fuck that butterfly clasp shit)
I don't want to be flashy like some antiquated farming equipment, I want something that tells me time without having to pull out my phone from my pocket, or having to bring the phone everywhere.
IT JUST WORKS
It looks good, it's got a 10 year warranty, it's waterproof, all that good shit, and it's CHEAP (in terms of price)

$10M after taxes is where you can start buying toys. Nice cars, watches, clothes, etc. It’s all a waste of money but at 8 figs it doesn’t do too much damage. I personally would rather have more money for other stuff than spend on these things.

A nice watch can be a beautiful intersection of art and engineering but at the end of the day it's jewelry. Don't buy one if you're not going to wear it, and don't bullshit yourself into thinking it's some sort of investment or capable or improving your life in any meaningful way

This is what annoys me about cars too. Mercedes in particular got destroyed by this in the 2000s and 2010s, although it does seem to be calming down as rich joggers now only go for the g wagon or jump all the way to lambo and rari
