**..:The Official Jewelry Thread Vol. 11: You get a Jesus piece! You get a Jesus piece! Everybody gets a Jesus piece:..**

$8000, 14k white gold approx 63 grams.  27inch franco.  Looks mad clean, waiting on diamond info/appraisal (claims $12,000).  Anyone know if it's worth it?  Gold price it's only a couple g's, diamonds are pretty subjective... can anyone offer some help as to whether 8 racks is realistic price they're asking?  Local sale
 
I got a 170 gram 24 inch Miami Cuban today . I was going to buy a Rolex for my birthday , but I went with the chain since I got a deal .

you buggin they got that at the flea here in miami and i believe they have it on www.soicyjewelry.com
 
it doesn't matter with jewelry..at da end of da day, gold is fungible...so there's always value in it, and since its jewelry, you

can take it to a shop, and getting it freshened up to make it look 100% brand new.

Even then, to make it look like new you're polishing a lot of gold off of it. Essentially the case doesn't look right anymore and you'd be left off with a Rolex worth even less.

I'm not saying he bought that particular watch for $8k, but if you search around you can find 'em and $8k is still a lot of money. Not Porsche money though.

I would not drop that kind of money for that garbage piece. I only buy pieces that means something to me, like the Jesus pieces, being an Atheist and all.
 
Yeah I agree it's not my only piece though.  The diamonds are color enhanced, only fair quality... 7cts of diamonds.  Appreciating the input, trying to decide... Keep in mind I'm in Canada, feel like prices are a bit higher on this kinda ish here.  Maybe not.  Definitely second guessing this now lol.  I just know if you went somewhere and got something like that Mario made, it'd end up costing that or more.  I've got a couple micro Jesus pieces.  Mario means about as much to me so the subject matter for the piece is fine.

Agreed... the ones you posted though are white gold, CZs or swarovskis, no chain, and costing $5000 plus tax and duties.  So I got my answer in a way.  Some people might not be feeling the Mario but it's a nicer mold than the ones on the site you linked too.  And again, this would be my only "hip hop" or wannabe rapper chain... I usually keep it simple couple small 18k yellow chains and a Rolly President.  This would be for smoking and dancing around the house lmao
 
Honestly if you like it, like you say you do, then go for it. Prices are obviously higher since you're in Canada like you said so it does play a factor, but I just can't see myself dropping that kind of money for such a piece given those specs.

Here's something I found real quick on eBay:
1000


Similar to WhatCanISay and it's only at $6,300 currently.

I was at one point looking for a Day Date as well, but finding out how they had hollow links steered me away from them, plus the 36mm bezel just seems so small. I also avoid any Day Dates with the Tritium since you know it's old with the "T" markings next to the "Swiss Made" on the bottom of the dial.

I don't think I would eem buy a new Day Date cause I'm not a fan of the size.

Since I'm too poor for a Day Date II I'll probably buy a gold Nixon and call it a day.

Quite frankly, these older model rolex's are nicer to me IMO. First reason, is the size. I like the classic sized rolex's (all of them from the subs to the dd, dj, etc) second of all, look at the off white yellowish tone on the date and the day, that small detail for me speaks volumes. Also, the older rolex's had small differences that i prefer over the newer ones. 

I'm sure you can afford a dd2....

Dude, are there no jewelers in Canada? seems to be the problem I hear pop up on this thread. Seems to me like it's too expensive to be bringing in jewels to the country? Why not drive down to the states if you're that close, or find a ticket on spirit airlines and come to miami if you wanna spend 8 k on a chain and wear it when you get back to the country as if you already had it? If that makes sense.... 

Don't buy this chain for 8k.... Not b/c it's ugly, you buy what you like. but b/c it's not worth 8k.....

The only "older" Rolex model I like and would still actually consider purchasing would be one of the M-Serial Subs which has the new "ROLEX ROLEX" engraved rehaut but has the older blue dial which looks much better than the newer blue dials. I'm not a fan of that yellowed tone date wheel but it's all a matter of preference.

This. I didn't think about it like that, but for $8k you can get a 200+gram cuban from Daniels.

Yeah, totally, all preference. I've gone into debates here with dudes who love the new big face rollies. IMO i hate them. Only big face I would rock is the sea dweller b/c that is heavy duty dive watch and dive watches are meant to be big. Keep the rollies nice and simple and tight. 

Yes, a 200+ gram cuban from daniels would be the move. 
 
I know jewel's get thrown here a lot, but I'm a huge watch fanatic... (i wish I could afford em all) here are some that I love, ranging from epensive to cheap. I love multi function wathces and watches with a purpose, like these. 

any jewelers out there can get me a good deal on a tag? looking to spend 1k or less????

Re-cap on what I've posted. And this is just the recent stuff that I've bought and keep around. I'm barely in my 20s, fellas. This is the ish I play around with. Heck, I'm going to college just to tell people I'm a Civil Engineer and be able to hang that degree on my wall, not really for the income I'll be getting through that as well.





No offense to "FLYKNITLVR". But, you can't speak directly at me unless you plan on posting something. Maybe one of your flyknits.

How many mm is the bracelet? It's like the perfect size. :smokin
 
 
[quote I know you didnt ask for financial advice but I'd suggest saving that money unless you are like a college kid with rich parents that doesnt worry about money.

I'm not gonna put my business out there but I definitely wouldn't consider a piece of jewelery if it would put me in a bad financial spot, but thanks for the feedback, repped
Message me. I'll take care of you. I have a lot n stock right now.
