The Timepiece Thread vol: READ THE 1st POST!!!

Honestly, I think I'll just wait. It's not something I need, just something I want. The Wimbledon looks classy and timeless, no doubt. I've never really tried flipping a Rolex, my wife's the one who's been into it. She has Chanel pieces that have doubled in value, and she's been telling me for years to keep buying Rolex. But I kept saying nah, especially since I don't even wear them that much.

However, if I find it for around 11k-12k mint, I'll buy it a heartbeat.

The highest ROI in Rolexes is in SS sports models and limited pieces, neither of which you are likely to get without a purchase history.

My wife said the same thing about chanel its because they keep in raising their retail prices.


Their stuff isnt hermes or rolex limited

I was thinking matching Wimbledons or yacht masters

But was holding out hope for matching royal oaks

Is the Wimbledon the most popular? Two tone looks so damn good. I also like a clean steel with mint face.

Of the Wimbledon vs the rhodium yacht master.. Wimbledon probably the most popular of the 2

But I’m probably only really thinking about either just to get a matching watches.. also helps that my relationship with my AD is great

But I’d easily go the royal oak route.. but getting a 41 is hard enough and then trying get a 41 and 37 in the same color could only imagine what hoops I’d have to go through for that

If they offer you a 41 like the one I’m looking for, how much is retail? Would you buy it?

Right now, no

I think only rolex I’d jump at right now is the titanium rlx.. or if the blueberry gmt comes back

But probably next year I’m going look into a connect I got that knows someone at AP to see if matching royal oaks is doable.. and if it doesn’t seem realistic, I’ll revisit the Wimbledon vs rhodium debate

I think I’d lean rhodium right now.. but I already have 2 jubilee bracelet gmts and I think I’m going get the Tudor white face black bay chrono on jubilee eventually.. so the rhodium yacht master adds something different to my collection

Actually I lie, I want a rootbeer too

Depending how some things played out personally and with AP, then I’d configure my lists of wants at rolex.. and what gets released by then

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

why tf would rolex release a desk clock lol

why tf would rolex release a desk clock lol

More than likely my next watch:

But depending on rolex releases.. if the blueberry ever comes back this moves to top spot (this is the old blueberry):

If they don’t release the blueberry, rootbeer is high on my wishlist since it’s different from what I have:

Still not sure how I feel about the rlx

Ideally I’d get the simple blue face matching 41 royal oak with the 37.. but the fallback would most likely be the rhodium (40 and 37):

Tudor chrono is beautiful, just wish they were thinner.

The titanium YM is quite difficult to get. AD's don't seem to get very many in. I think root beer and the rhodium dial YM would be more attainable.

Finally ready to make my move on the Rolex. Torn between Date or no date.

Something to consider: if you won't be wearing it every day, unless you put it on a winder you will need to reset the time and date every time you wear the watch because the perpetual movement stops after a while. I often reach for my submariner without date for this reason because I only need to set the time and go.

Excellent point. My only automatic watch that I own (PRX) winding that date is slightly annoying when I toss it on. HAHA.
