I think the guy is both unoriginal and a douchebag.

[Anonymous No.17337577]

I think anyone that wears those kind of watches is incredibly boring

[Anonymous No.17337582]

>>17337201
Rolex wearers want to show off their status, that they are powerful and financially attractive, so it's normal that to see other Rolex wearers as competitors (in the douchebag department).

Last time i saw a cashier (guy) wearing one, i physically cringed.

It’s not about the income level per say but it’s the fact that guys like that put zero effort into any other areas of fashion or hygiene. It’s like archieluxury fawning over jewelry/ watches while being five hundred pounds and living in a crap house.

[Anonymous No.17337592]

>>17337192
I despise this style of watch. This watch tells me you bought if purely for the financial flex. I know of watches under 1000 that look way cooler. That’s not to say Rolexes aren’t extremely well made and nice, just boring and basic

[Anonymous No.17337594]

>>17337583
Like if you own a Rolex that’s fine but you shouldn’t pair it with sneakers, a hoodie and five hundred pounds of cheap cologne.

[Anonymous No.17337595]

>>17337589
It's about the income level tho.
If you have to work as a cashier/cook/janitor don't try to look like you ballin, nigga.

show-off with boring normie taste and probably no fashion sense. likely to be fake, no one will be able to tell at a normal distance of course because watches are a scam

I think he has spent thousands of dollars on a watch less accurate than mine.

People who wear Rolex watches are poor because they spent thousands on a basic automatic watch to flex.

Unless you go to a third world country, you aren't impressing anyone.
10 grand is not a lot, every middle class person spends more on phones or laptops every 5 years.

If you cannot afford a Rolex by the age of 30 then you have failed as a man.

Look man, I can assure you your opinion doesn't matter.
Rolex is one those brands that is considered the epitome of luxury everywhere on the planet. Chanel and Ferrari are the only examples that come to my mind.
You've heard of Rolex when you were 5 years old and the name has been engraved in your memory ever since. Go outside and ask people to name 3 watch brands : 100% of them will name Rolex right away. US presidents, worldwide celebrities and athletes have been wearing Rolex since the 50s. That's the power of Rolex. They're iconic watches.

Waste of money, even for rich guys.

[Anonymous No.17338092]

>>17338053
They're the only watches around 10k that sell for more than their retail price.
So no, they're the opposite of waste of money.
Rolex = investment

[Anonymous No.17338093]

>>17338092
>Rolex = investment
Any rolex? which model is an investment? even the one in OP pic?
I can't believe a regular watch like that is an investment, maybe if it was a special model or something.

>afford
Depends on what you think this word means.

I can buy about 80 new submariners with the money I have got. Not sure if I can afford one though.

[Anonymous No.17338103]

>>17338093
Yes, any Rolex.
Some are more sought after than other.
The Submariner Date (the one in the OP) retail price is 10k, but it sells for 14/15k on the grey market.
Some models sell for 2x their retail price or even more (GMT Master II or Daytona).
They're not limited editions but they're almost impossible to buy at retail price.

[Anonymous No.17338108]

>>17338092
scalping is not investing

[Anonymous No.17338124]

It literally is.
Selling something for more than what you paid for is the exact definition of investment.

Rolex tightly controls the supply. The company goes to extremes. One thing they do is buy their own watches back to keep them scarce in the market. In other words if the price starts to go down Rolex will buy a bunch on the open market till the price goes back up.

The price of a submariner was like $300 when it came out and it has gone from 300 to 14k steadily over the last half century. If you have bought a sub at any time in your life you would have made money not lost

A submariner is only "worth" about 5k (the price o a Tudor diver" the other $8000 is only because of scarcity

Look man, I can assure you your opinion doesn't matter.
Rolex is one those brands that is considered the epitome of douchebags everywhere on the planet. Ed Hardy and Gucci are the only examples that come to my mind.
Go outside and ask people to name 3 brands synonymus with Douchebag: 100% of them will name Rolex right away.
Crooks, creepy wagies, car salesmen and douchy co-workers have been wearing Rolex since the 50s. That's the power of Rolex. They're iconic douche watches.

Do you mean Tudor sell their watches at production cost?

Not a watch guy but can someone explain why expensive watches look so plain? Like where’s the interesting design or style. It seems like they never take risks with design

[Anonymous No.17338579]

>>17338453
It's because they are for people who are already dead inside.
Like morally defeated boomer who has to pay alimonies for his 19 years old daughter who don't talk to him anymore, which is why he keeps his corporate job where his female manager humiliate him on a daily basis.
That's the core market for Rolexes.
