I hope you enjoy it. I firmly believe this watch was revolutionary for Casio. It's hard to find fault with it and it never gets old. Casio has been trying and failing to move upmarket until they took their best design and made it in metal. Even with the higher end models being released the original really holds its own.

So how do people buy Rolex watches? Is it all from the secondary market?
I've gone to a few Rolex retailers in my city and each time they have little no no inventory, and at my most recent visit they literally had no inventory to buy, only a few watches that I could try on as exhibition.
So how are people getting contemporary Rolex watches or even last year's watches? Is it just that my stores are shit? Should I take a trip to Rodeo Drive or Dubai or Hong Kong or something and go to a Rolex retailer there?

Damn, there was actually a watch craze? I'm not too familiar with the scarcity/demand market for watches. I'm just finally in a good financial state so I wanted to pick up an item that I've always wanted. I knew Rolex was popular and that they were not made-to-order, but I didn't realize that there were just none anywhere.

I know that collectibles and other physical items skyrocketed in price during covid, I assume Rolex (and other high end watches) were a part of that mania?

If you want something special, a one and done watch save up and get the rolex.
The longines spirit is okay but it's not a rolex
I like some tooder watches but not the black bay 36, the clasp on the bracelet is really wide and it fits awkwardly on people with smaller wrists.
Also just the look of the face, it's too much of a dive watch face for a smaller sports watch like that.
How do you feel about the black bay 58 or the new black bay pro? Those would both be great choices

The thing is, while I like the Rolex, I also think it's a bit flashy. I don't like to show off wealth, I just genuinely want a long-lasting, automatic, fully waterproof Genevan watch that looks nice. That's why Tudor could be an option. Longines is nice but not Genevan.

dont worry too much about the wrist size, turned towards you your wrists always look smaller because of the two bones inside twisting.
most people wear 40mm, my ex girlfriend said she would never get anything under 40mm lmao

if you had normal sized wrists, what watch would you get then?

and if youre from geneva, i dont think wearing a Rolex would mean "showing off your wealth".
Rolex is from geneva as well, and fully in house, but im sure you know that already.

i like the tudor, i think its a nice watch.
but dont set yourself up for a diameter now, you might want to go bigger than 36mm as a male.

I considered the BB36 but the lack of in-house ultimately put me off, and it seems inevitable that they'll upgrade both the BB36 (to in-house) and BB58 (to a better clasp) in the next few years. £2-3K is an awkward amount to spend on a watch, above Longines/Oris but below Omega. It's mostly Tudor and the lower end of Grand Seiko in that price range for established brands (though Oris's new in-house stuff is around that price too).

Yeah but Rolex, even here, is considered very flashy. The really rich have AP, VC, or of course PP, but Rolex is not something I've ever seen a rich local wear (unless you work for them). At its heart Geneva is a very Protestant city, and the Swiss generally don't like showing off wealth. It's seen as bad taste or nouveau riche.
That's why Tudor appeals to me, but I think any other less flashy Genevan brand could be nice. I'll definitely wait and see if the BB36 (or above) get an in-house movement before making a decision. But thanks for your advice, I'll definitely try things on first, maybe my wrists aren't so bad.

have you checked the circumference of your wrists?
it depends on your type of course, but you can make a cutout from cardboard with the dimensions of the actual watch (just the top without the bracelet of course) to see how it would look, thats what i did.

its an easy way to check if it would fit, and doesnt require you to leave the house.

also, look at your wrists in the mirror when your just standing having your arms dangling from the side

>Rolex is not something I've ever seen a rich local wear
i thought Rolex is just a "normal" watch brand for the Swiss, something normal people wear. they arent that expensive taking into account how much the standard swiss person makes.

i like tudor a lot, now that you might consider different watch sizes you can see if they have one with an in house movement if youre not going for the 36mm, that would solve the not-in-house-movement problem.

[Anonymous No.17061648]

>>17061625
>Tudor movements are made by a separate company
The "in-house" Tudor movements are made by a company called Kenissi, which Tudor is an owner of. (This is similar to the arrangement Rolex had with Aegler until the early 21st century when they finally brought all of their movement manufacturing in house.
The movements are made to Tudor's specs, but having a "separate" company make them makes it easier to sell those movements to other companies.

Middle-managers and foreigners. The kind of nouveau riche who can afford one but their sense of taste hasn't yet caught up to their wallet.
Also, like I said, old people who bought theirs when they were merely expensive but not ridiculous and, thus, weren't seen as a flashy watch, just a simple, well-made one.

But really, even Swiss don't wear watches that much anymore. Apple watches or just using your phone.

No. 36 is fine. Shit, a modern 31 would probably look fine on a small wrist.

Depends of you think the design is worse the price

Yes
> Is there a cheaper alternative?
Not that I'm aware
>I love it but don't feel like blowing nearly a grand on a quartz watch
It's a very good movement. Grand Seiko would charge 2-3 times the price

BOTH. It’s a beautiful watch with a very bold case shape but don’t get it unless you really like the shape and wanna make a statement. Or wanna larp as Elvis/The Men In Black (as a Chad would).

I see. Seems smart to me, considering how many inhabitants india has. The only person I've seen with a real rolex at my job is not even white, just some pakistani IT manager. Matter fact, I don't even dislike the rados, the green captain cook one of them wears has caught my eye a couple of times ngl.

Hermes or their link bracelet.

But if you went for the cheapo aluminum model and not the stainless steel or titanium it doesn’t matter which band it has, it already looks cheap.

[Anonymous No.17062399]

My collection so far, please ignore the cheap watch box, will eventually upgrade to a better one once I have 5 watches (6 with the Apple Watch) I already have one in mind by Wolf.

I have the link bracelet for the De Ville but only switch to it for formal occasions, otherwise I dress it down to look like an AT.

Or are you going all in on omega? A planet ocean would be nice.

Tudor is definitely what I have in next in mind but yeah I am going full Omega and will eventually get a Speedy. Probably will get the next watch by Christmas time though.

Well, I did it, I bought a fucking smart watch. I feel slightly disappointed in myself. I only plan on wearing it while cycling and lifting to track heart rate and shit

Or maybe I just hate date bubbles, and I hate materialism and advertisements. I have a greater appreciation for Rolex watches than most of their owners do, but I don't care to own one. Stay butthurt.
