·I think I have said it before, but at market prices, Rolex stainless steel sports models are a big pass for me. I've moved on to more interest in Omega, etc. I never paid over MSRP for any watch, and doubt I ever will!
Here is the window of a Rolex boutique this afternoon
But if you are prepared to pay reseller prices then there are plenty of options, apologies for the poor quality photos, just rough pics through shop windows
I can't believe that this goofy thread based on a completely fictitious premise is on page 5. Apparently this is the topic that just keeps on giving. 🙄
Jesus, Are these real?? That is just crazy
rolex does play a part in hk culture. Thats why as an expat and a younger collector I had sworn id not buy rolex.
Wow... majority seems to be sport style .... i'm just gonna save up for a cheap ass Air King and dress it with a croc strap... they can still be found for under $5k
Ye, I just think the way to go with Rolex is understatement... I want to wear a Rolex but I don’t want to WEAR A ROLEX if that makes any sense ( no disrespect to sports watch owners)
That grey ghost you have glides beautifully under the radar... awesome to dress up but will also go incredibly well with a Sunspel polo
Edit. It’s the engine turned bezel for me
And that is the first not insane thing you have said. Although at 5k would a nice birth year perfect DJ not be a good choice also? I've look at that option and at least for me the answer was a nice crenelated grey dial from my birth year.
1603 at 36mm, crenelated bezel, and grey sigma dial.... pretty close to perfection to me. I'll admit a grey linen dial sigma dial is pretty darn sexy also. Too bad I am not sure they where made in my BY. Otherwise I will stick to my no rehuat Kermit, without the flat 4. I mean is the flat 4 bump really worth it if you get the no rehaut?
And i will stick to my definition of a flipper ... a store that employes staff, pays taxes and offers a fair price is still a good guy ...
they go by both names 😉 I agree about understated 😀 On the other hand I personally think if you get a sub you should have the cyclops. Its part of the DNA, if your going to wear a Rolex with a date you might has well have that part of the industrial design noticeable from 20 feet on your watch lol.
Rolex "Cyclops??" you had me there. ... was this a model like the "Holiday"??😉 , i googled it ... all good now!!

As with many having troll tendencies, they tend to be the first to shout “troll.” Kind of a “he who smelled it dealt it” scenario.
@Porker i read your first post for what it was: a guy new to the scene daring to casually put forward a view (good, bad, or otherwise), not realizing the shark tank into which he was casually throwing such views.
you should stick around, and in a few short years you, too, can decide how to treat new people in such scenarios.
Not an expert at all, just a guy with an opinion on what’s been in the news and still is... I started my thread with “ this is my take...”
appreciated... in all fairness, that wasn’t the best idea for a first post... I’m sure a long standing member posting same would have been let down easy-ier
I could have done a lot worse by posting this on the Rolex forum
