That's it. I'm coining the phrase watchfag. If you spend 10k on something that does what you can get for free, you're retarded. I don't care if it was made by swiss virgins using tools made of mithril. That's too much for a way to keep track of time, and you're retarded.
It’s a hobby. I’m sure you do things with your disposable income that I would think are even dumber. Like drink booze and go out to shitty restaurants, for instance.
Au contraire: Rolex is not building a ONE BILLION DOLLAR factory in Switzerland. Yes, the inflated prices of second-hand gray market sales have come down a bit, but they are still more than getting it from a dealer.
The rich never suffer. You have no idea what you’re talking about. The upper-middle class hardly suffer. I’m middle-middle class and I just plunked down $2300 on my 7th luxury watch, so I’m not suffering, either. Only dumb faggots and commie junkies are suffering, for the most part.
I’m sorry that the truth did not match your narrative, but it is true. A brand new steel Rolex Submariner retails for $9100 at an authorized dealer. Please go on Chrono24 and see how much they are asking for used ones that aren’t old and beat up. Look at the asking prices for the models of the last 5 years. You’ll see they are getting $12K-$18K still.
Well said. Too much chonk makes it look chonky, and fiddling with materials might help.
My collection is nowhere near as faggishly "awesome" as OP's, but I like functionality. I feel like I can wear my watches with less worry of getting attacked by feral niggers, but then that is partly due to where I live... and never wearing the Rolex. Because it doesn't work anyway. But I still have it, because it IS a Rolex! lel.
Well, I tried to get it fixed, and the dead battery I got it with corroded the guts out pretty badly. But thanks; maybe I'll be less embarrassed of it.

not many of us that can pull off a 44mm watch.
I hope you're the lifting kind, not the fatass kind.

Rolex had to stop production just a few weeks ago because a used Rolex is super cheap now.
All of these expensive luxuries will be cheap as hell soon.

All sorts of expensive shit is now on sale and being dumped at huge discounts.
That is a trend that is accelerating.

I love the dial, but I'd like to see a ceramic bezel, and in a 38mm variation.

I love the vintage movements. Especially having some OP's from the 50's to the 90's. You can see the progression of the movement over time.
I have also have a couple OP's that are using Zenith movements.

No shame in a Quartz movement.
