·I can't ask this question on the Rolex forum because I'll get flamed and booed and probably banned.
OK, j/k but they do get sensitive over there.
So, I got this here Submariner, picked it up last week new from the AD because he owed me a favor. When I got it, he asked if I was going to flip it or keep it. I said keep it. I had every intention of keeping it. Really. At least until something new and shiny comes along (I'm on the list for a BLRO but not holding my breath). He knows that I'm fickle and like to mix it up.
I've worn it for 5 days now. It's not doing anything for me. This is my ninth Rolex, the last one I sold (BLNR) at a huge profit because I tired of it and hey, it was thousands of dollars.
Now I have three Omegas, a 300M in blue, Speedy sandwich and DSTOM Apollo 8. The Rolex actually feels small compared to all of those 42 & 44 models, which is actually a good thing, although the Apollo 8 is much lighter.
It appears the prices on the sub are still quite high, and I could sell it as nearly NIB and make somewhere between $1500-1800 depending on how lucky I am finding a buyer.
I can continue to wear it and see if we bond, after all I've had 3 subs previous, and I did actually once regret selling one of them. But if I do keep on wearing it, it's no longer nearly NIB and will pick up some scratches and be worth quite less.
I'm interested to hear what others think.View attachment 921624
