I Had To Turn Down a Rolex Today

submitted by TheBigGuyFromQueens to Wristwatches 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 17:54:12 ago (+6/-4)     (Wristwatches)

I got the call earlier today. I was on a waitlist for over a year for a watch in Rose Gold and Steel. With NYS Sales Tax, it would have cost me $17,850 and I just don’t have the money laying around. I had some medical stuff to take care of earlier this year and it entirely depleted my watch fund.

My old Authorized Dealer used to let me lay them away with 1/3 or 1/2 down and pay it off in like under 6 months and then pick it up, but the ADs in Manhattan have too many wealthy clients to be nickel and diming with some middle class guy from Queens. I was willing to put down $9K, but it was all or nothing with these guys. I’m absolutely not using credit or financing. Fuck that.

Oh the wailing. The gnashing of teeth.

Those of us who are not kikes and niggers are not impressed with rolexes. Its just a fucking status symbol. I fucking hate guys like this.

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey 4 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:18:30 ago (+4/-0)

Is this guy not the biggest dick-in-the-butt ever?
I literally can’t imagine a man, with his parts intact, being this much of a fag.
I get want to look good and such, as I do, but I don’t spend any money or time on it.
I’m wearing a Wal mart tshirt right now.
It’s kind of like niggers and poor White trash who know they will never have or achieve anything, so they spend their money on junk to feel and look good.
Tell you what, my flip phone havin, ford truck drivin, mowing my own lawn ass is a fucking millionaire.
And, I don’t even own a watch!

Walmart might be going a little too far, but agreed.

[ - ] DitchPig 0 points 6 monthsOct 10, 2024 11:32:04 ago (+0/-0)

Let me get this straight. You "want" to look good, but instead dress like a welfare nigger?

I drive a 20 year old Ford, and I dress well. I also collect watches.

Dressing well requires that you spend both time, and money. There is no way around this.

I highly doubt you are a "millionaire".

Buy a fucking watch, already, and start dressing like a White man, not a teenape nigger.

My net worth is over one million as of about 12 months ago. This is due to the equity in my properties, my income and the value of my share in the S Corp business I own. Also, I have a hefty life insurance policy. In my line of work I am not required to dress extravagantly, although I do own a few fine American made suits for when I need to. Sometimes I wear one of my many $150 silk shirts when it’s needed. I turned in my 306k mile F-150 a year ago for a new F-150, because it was time.

It’s fine you collect watches, if you can afford them. I collect firearms and such. We all need hobbies. The Op is a broke dick weasel who was asking for cash donations here about six months ago. He’s a loser.

[ - ] DitchPig 0 points 6 monthsOct 13, 2024 11:19:36 ago (+0/-0)

Wearing a decent suit of clothes, and a nice watch is not "extravagant".

I also collect firearms, and there are plenty of affordable watches that are worth collecting.

Half of my twenty watch collection is G-Shock, many of which look great with a suit.

"equity" in your properties? So you have mortgages? Equity doesn't count, only outright ownership. Also insurance policies are not part of your net worth.

Artificially inflating your net worth is only lying to yourself, eh?

What's the point of having any money if you present yourself to the World by dressing like a broke nigger?

[ - ] GreatSatan 1 point 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:19:46 ago (+1/-0)

Broke bitch

[ - ] PostWallHelena 1 point 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:27:45 ago (+1/-0)

If you say so.

[ - ] s23erdctfvyg 1 point 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 19:28:04 ago (+1/-0)

Unless he's autistic, and the tism drives him to collect watches. Still cringe, but not nigger bauble loving cringe.

Ouch, take it easy there babe.
Why are you lashing out here?

[ - ] PostWallHelena 2 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:19:12 ago (+2/-0)

Because CONSOOOOOM is retardation.

And I think guys that wear more jewelry than me are gay.

[ - ] AugustineOfHippo2 1 point 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:51:17 ago (+1/-0)

He likes fancy watches, so what. I think you are over-reaching on this one a bit.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 5 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 19:17:33 ago (+5/-0)

Nah. He’s always posting about fancy watches and fancy shoes and men’s cologne. Its tacky.

[ - ] Sector2 2 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 19:36:35 ago (+2/-0)

You have to remember those are primary ways citydwellers communicate with each other. It might just look weird and homosexual to us, but it's pretty gay too.

[ - ] DitchPig 1 point 6 monthsOct 10, 2024 11:35:26 ago (+1/-0)

Wrist watches are the intersection of art, and precision machining.

I will grant you that if I were to spend near $20k on a watch, it would not be a fucking Rolex.

Shoes, and colognes are pretty fucking gay. I wear a pair of polished tac boots, and smell like German Shepherd.

[ - ] AugustineOfHippo2 4 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:19:02 ago (+4/-0)

All my money goes to financing my kids future. Otherwise I'd probably go for the classy cars (E550 is nice).

[ - ] Special_Prosecutor 3 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 20:12:09 ago (+3/-0)

You'd rather blow $9K an a Rolex and stay in NY instead of improving your situation by using that $9K to get out of NY? Stockholm syndrome?

A fucking overpriced watch on your wrist so you can show it off to the nignogs and kikes and muzzies will make you happier than moving to a 95% White city with lower cost of living and better scenery?

Aren't you the guy who was going on about how you lost your job and couldn't afford rent?

[ - ] TheBigGuyFromQueens [op] 0 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 19:01:50 ago (+0/-0)

I don’t rent. And my pending layoff is yet another reason I didn’t dip into my savings to buy the watch. I have money specially allocated towards watches that is separate from my actual savings.

[ - ] JosephGoebbeIs 0 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 20:25:02 ago (+0/-0)

In Philadelphia, it's worth... 50 bucks.

[ - ] FuckShitJesus 1 point 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 17:58:48 ago (+1/-0)*

My cheap daily drivers are in the $25-50k range. The top shelf stuff is $220-500k.

Rolexes are a general joke in the collector world, because they're what every retard real estate agent and/or aspiring stock broker buys to show everyone else they've made it. That $5k Rolex serves to both make you a target for niggers while also letting others laugh at you behind your back for wasting money on the trendy selection.

If it ain't Swiss, it ain't high horology.

[ - ] Sector2 2 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 22:38:40 ago (+2/-0)

I used to have a Casio data watch in the early 90s.

people would do a double take if you wore one of those out today.

Might still have one in a junk box somewhere, but that time has passed.

Yes, you're very envious, we know.

Im not trying to impress anyone with my shiney baubles because Im not deeply insecure.

Right, like I said, penis envy.

Projection.

Apparently very little projection.

I have other watches besides Rolexes. I love watches in general and get some enjoyment from inexpensive ones, as well. Rolexes are timeless and not trendy. They only release like 5 or 6 new models every year. While Rolex is not high horology, they’re extremely reliable and have heritage.

My next watch will likely be Glasshutte or an Omega.

What watches do you have? Why don’t you post some pics of them on the wrist? You sound like a Patek guy. Maybe a Breguet guy.

[ - ] PostWallHelena 1 point 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:14:19 ago (+1/-0)

You both sound like Fagguette guys.

[ - ] FuckShitJesus 1 point 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:15:37 ago (+1/-0)

You sound like a poor person.

Yep. Poor person.

I can hold my own in a fist fight, so I don't fit the Patek stereotype of faggot soyboy.

Affinity to high complex Swiss, tourbillons, skeletons, and innovative material science.

[ - ] TheBigGuyFromQueens [op] 0 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:24:38 ago (+0/-0)

I don’t like Tourbillons and Skeletons. I can have a partial skeleton, but it wouldn’t be my first choice. I like Annual Calendars, but they’re very expensive. My grail watch is a 40mm Platinum Rolex Day/Date with a fluted bezel and an ice blue dial. Ref#228206. Unfortunately, I’ll never have $100K for a wristwatch.

[ - ] FuckShitJesus 0 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:25:11 ago (+0/-0)

Perpetual calendars are sharp. Chronos?

[ - ] TheBigGuyFromQueens [op] 0 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:28:34 ago (+0/-0)

Not really a chronograph guy. I’m not timing anything. I have considered the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch and the Tag Heuer Monaco Gulf Edition, though. I don’t like the Rolex Daytona because I want a date function. I think the Speedy is better than the Daytona, anyway.

[ - ] DitchPig 0 points 6 monthsOct 13, 2024 11:44:20 ago (+0/-0)

Zenith

[ - ] DitchPig 0 points 6 monthsOct 13, 2024 11:42:55 ago (+0/-0)

Breguet, and Jaeger-LeCoultre are my wishlist watches.

I have a GMT Master II that I bought in 1999, and a couple vintage Oyster Perpetuals (34mm, 36mm), but I'd never buy anything Rolex at retail, or the crazy second-hand market.
I want a Milgauss, but I'm not buying one until I see at least a 20% discount, from the AD.

I’ve never owned a watch or a cell phone. But I always know what time it is. Brain powers! Watches, phones, jewelry, gold front teeth, 21 inch spinners, rare Nikes…. All nigger adornments.

[ - ] RMGoetbbels 0 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:54:07 ago (+0/-0)

My first thought was "oh no! say it isn't so.....?" and then I realized, it's a watch. Something that can't feed you, improve your safety or better you in any way.

Good, save that money in order to escape. Sell your other watches and create an escape fund. LEAVE THAT NIGGER HELLHOLE. Go to flohhreeda like all the other jews.

Look, if you like to squander your money on watches, whatever. 20K would look a lot better in a bottle of Leroy Domaine d'Auvenay Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru. Just sayin.

Perfect. You can hold onto it until it is aged to flawlessness. and then give it to me. This is awesome.

My old Authorized Dealer used to let me lay them away with 1/3 or 1/2 down and pay it off in like under 6 months and then pick it up

dying breed. When is the last time you were able to keep tab somewhere?

mine was somewhere around 2016-17

[ - ] TheBigGuyFromQueens [op] 0 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:17:57 ago (+0/-0)

It’s not really keeping a tab. He would hold the watch until it was fully paid off.

[ - ] TheOriginal1Icemonkey 2 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:20:20 ago (+2/-0)

If you can’t buy it outright, you can’t afford it.
You are a massive loser.

[ - ] Gowithit 2 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:25:54 ago (+2/-0)

cushions are nice.

[ - ] Sector2 0 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:49:29 ago (+0/-0)

We're calling them 'cushions' now?

[ - ] Gowithit 1 point 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 19:07:50 ago (+1/-0)

Where you can technically afford to pay for something outright but you give yourself a little leeway and dont pay for it all at once.

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 19:33:06 ago (+1/-0)

That cushion. Layaway was from a slower paced time. And a really bad plan with anything tech.

[ - ] Kozel 1 point 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 22:25:07 ago (+1/-0)

I thought a cushion is when you save money and then you quit your job or whatever and have something to live from.

[ - ] Gowithit 0 points 6 monthsOct 9, 2024 18:20:04 ago (+0/-0)

i know its not a tab its the idea that people like those are pretty much gone.

This post is really gay. Most likely due to OP being a faggot.
