[ONE-A-DAY]

We stopped into a watch store a few weeks back, been wanting a Breitling for some reason even though I never wear my Rolex. We started talking about my watch, a two tone submariner, I was floored buy how much they are worth these days, close to double what I paid for it 15 years or so ago. I guess it’s the same thing as boats and f150’s these days.

Want the blue faced Daytona so bad. Went to buy it when we sold our last house. I assumed it would be close to what other Daytona’s were selling for at that time…… I was wrong. Nice sales lady pulled it out of the case. Little tag said $75,000.00. Twice as much as I was thinking.
That was about 10 years ago. Looked again recently, now their going for 125-150k
Holly F balls!

Still sporting my same old Explorer II. Love the watch, and it’s doubled in value. Never have lost money with a Rolex [emoji106]

That’s badass. Blue face is white gold. That’s pricey. I bought my Daytona in 2010 for retail at Jared, 11,600 I think. It’s worth 25k now. I don’t ever wear it though. I wear my iwatch. I have two Breightlings I never wear either. I wanted a 46 Blue face Navitimer. It’s like wearing a brick on my arm. Way too big and heavy. Lol. I’m over watches at this point. Told my son he can have my Daytona so it’s put away for him when he won’t sell it.

I got this one last year at the Wynn. I really want a sky dweller but it’s impossible to find and this one was my second choice. Walked in the Rolex store and they just put it on display. Guy said the salesmen are calling their previous customers and it’ll be gone in the next hour. I didn’t let that happen lol.




Got this one couple weeks ago at the Hublot store in Caesar’s shops. This one is limited and I got the last one in all of North America. Just lucky timing as it’s a collectible. I’m in Maui right now and I walked into the Rolex store with it on and a guy wanted to buy it off me.

I know. Just just crazy. Used to think Rolex’s were the shit still I was educated on a few of the finer things. Such as Patek’s.

Rolex are the DCB’s of the Boating world.
A lot of bling, work really well, hold their value when times are good, total status symbols.

Patek’s are the MTI, and Skaters [emoji23][emoji23]
For the Gentlemen with Fuck You money, that want the Very Best……


LoL. Wait for it….. wait for it.

For sure.

At the end of the day, a Rolex is generally a tool watch. A very nice tool.

Brands like Patek, AP, A. Lange & Sohne…these are really more “luxury” watches than Rolex.

Then there’s brand recognition among the public…
At the end of the day, you could wear a Patek to a cocktail party but the guy wearing the Rolex will get all the attention LOL

I had a milestone birthday and a milestone wedding anniversary this year, and wanted to get myself a submariner to commemorate both. I was fortunate to have a local Rolex AD find a 41mm submariner for me which I was able to buy at MSRP. Market value for that watch now is almost 50% over MSRP which is crazy to me. The only jewelry I wear is my wedding ring and my watch, so I want to have something nice on my wrist. It's good to know that I should always be able to sell my watch for at least what I paid for it. I have a 20 year old datejust that is worth more now than what is cost 20 years ago.

Try therealreal.com, my wife buys and sells a lot of her authentic purses on there, when you send product in, they verify it’s authenticity before they list it on their site, and guarantee it.

Patek and AP have all the athletes and rappers all over them, driving their values up and up. For your "luxury" category, I formally petition that you add JLC and Vacheron Constantine. Its true though, you would walk in to a party with a real monster Perpetual calendar/moon phase/minute repeater/alarm JLC and no one would even care after you explain it, but a submariner would steal the show. Don't get me wrong, a panda daytona does something for me and I have always liked the sub, but like anything else, unless you are a true enthusiast, most can't tell the difference in things and only know a couple of brands. Most people would see an Apache and a Baja and think they are equivalent, hell, if I am honest, most could look at a twin turbo schiada and an old bayliner and not know much, besides the fact they have maybe heard the name bayliner.

That makes more sense. I think white gold blue face is 50/60k. The platinum is way above my pay grade. I’ve never even seen one in person at a store, and I always walk through any Rolex dealers store if I’m around one.

AP, PP, VC are known in the industry as the trinity, JLC makes it a quadrinity
JLC should displace VC.

Reversos steal the show when/If you get to show them...

Those unknowing believe Rolex at the top which you correctly state is not.

Rolex is a working mans watch. Except for a few rare pieces.

Tried one on in early 2014 I believe. Nice watch and heavy. Much heavier than my all gold sub. They were not selling well back then from what I remember as it was offered to me at just under 60K from what I remember.

Reverso Duoface of some sort will be my next purchase. I have slowed down on it though as I am not suited up and traveling as much as before, and this was perfect for a formal with a second time zone function and a unique piece ticking the enthusiast box.

Superb machines.

Have 2 and there is 1 more in the house.

I have the REVERSO GMT, and REVERSO Gran Sport Chrono
Mrs Uncle Dave has the ladies Reverso
Hers is not mine, so I say its "in the house".

Way less boring that dads Patek Calatrava.

Oh my that Gran Sport Chrono checks all the boxes, not as formal so can wear more often, but then isn't formal for what I already wanted it for. Damn, so I guess I need two reverso's in my life now

Actually you wouldn't (unless you set out to break it)
You'd put some wear on it, but it's machined and designed like a quality firearm. (think colt python)
You would play with it endlessly like we all do.
There are a series of satisfying clicks and detents in the movement that make it enormously gratifying to flip.


The original reverso had a metal back face and its reason for being was to take a hit from a polo ball or mallet. Glass or sapphire cyrystal watches will almost always crack.

When I was in grad school we went to China on a trip. We all bought fake watches, Breitling, Rolex, Omega, Tag Hauer, etc. A friend of mine had a real Omega and would wear that around and if he had to go to a work event he would wear the fake Sub Mariner he bought in China. He was on a business trip and had them both out on the bathroom counter and housekeeping stole the fake Rolex and left his real Omega. I think we paid around 20-30 bucks for them.

My brother bought a bunch of high quality fakes in Thailand 15 years ago. Various brand names. The Rolex's lasted about a year. His fake Breitling and Porsche Designs are still working. He wears the Porsche Design.

 

[Flippindough]

Thanks guys for all the insight. Went to another local dealer and they said most likely two years before I could get a watch. Insane!

Right now I am in search of a screaming deal on a Hamilton Pilot Day Date, I can get for like 30% off on Jomashop, but either want to pay that with a real warranty or less for a lightly used one with mfr warranty ticking. I missed a chance when Macy's had a sale it applied to them, so I am sure that is an option that would pop back up.

That's not a very expensive piece, but the next real item I am looking for is a reverso duoface, and finally narrowing down which Speedy moonwatch I want.

So who has the connection on the knock off's?

Used to have a great connection to a high end website (PerfectWatches) that used all SWISS movements. The replicas were 6-800 dollars. I still have a few and they are pretty must undesignable to the untrained persons including some of my watch friends. I enjoy wearing my replica Breitling or Submariner when boating or sports etc. to avoid losing my real ones. I would still be pissed to lose the replicas to be honest. They are amazing. I have never been able to find the same since.

Thanks man, yeah, I can buy new from AD for $700, but if something used at $500 pops up in good shape, I will snap it up. I should just buy new and be done with it, but its not important enough of a piece to me to need it now, we will see if something used at 500 pops up.

My head is still swimming over what speedy moonwatch I really want and what I will pay for it, that one I am taking much more seriously.
