Sure, you'll have a collection that gets plenty of upvotes on r*dd*t, but it will be completely soulless.

Someone whose collection is focused on JLC complications or vintage Patek chronographs will have an extremely serious collection even if it doesn't tick the watch community hivemind's boxes.

Pic related is a $600 fake GMT.
Look at the minute hand. It's flat. Now look at anon's picture and see how the minute hand is slightly curved.
The ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX writing on the rehaut is also completely wrong (the R at 11 and the X at 1 are in the wrong position).

About the grey market thing, you niggers are completely missing the point...

Flippers have hoarded hundreds of Rolex they bought at MRSP price (most of the time they didn't even pay VAT)
For example, a GMT Master II retail price is 10k VAT included. Flippers buy them at 8k. Currently selling them at 25k (29k in april, this was the top). If you think flippers are getting their ass busted at that price, you're an idiot.

Here's what's gonna happen
>price will continue to drop because flippers need to sell their stock
>a GMT Master II on the grey will probably go back to its pre-COVID price, ie around 18k
>Rolex will still struggle to produce enough of their most sought after models
>waiting lists will still be a thing, but they will be shorter
>flippers will keep on making huge bucks on Chrono24

Either double the budget and get Rolex OP34/36 or a Datejust 36.

They are too good of watches and it makes people here upset. You see, casios and g shock for example are very functional, but they don't look very good, and that is why they are accepted: they do not threaten the swiss watch owner's ego, who can still think "well it might cost $200, but it looks like shit", and be relatively at peace. But with Oceanus they managed to make something extremely funcional and also very beautiful, so they are in for some hate from people who bought something that appers to be almost objectively inferior

It's really interesting that this watch is far superior in power reserve, accuracy, and finishing to a Rolex submariner at essentially the same price yet their insistence on making their dive watches so huge means almost no one will buy it.

So far from my research on watches it seems that seiko and casio are the best brands that do not cost a fortune. Somewhat correct? I know narrowing it down to two brands is a bit reductive but when there's so many and you just need to establish a consensus.

If you're actually serious, it's no big deal. You can turn around and probably sell the Rolex for about what you paid whenever you want. I still wouldn't recommend people spend such a large percentage of their money on a Rolex, but they seem to be a pretty safe place to store money if the last few years are anything to go by.
