Why don't you own a Rolex /b/? What's your excuse?

just bought a truck which seems more practical than a wrist watch this is my excuse
though I would like to own a nice watch at some point

Its a waste of money
Its heavy and large
Its really for people who are rich and bored and need to show off to plebs and rich but less rich than them people

Not really. Rolex are on the low-end scale of luxury watches, and a lot of people get them because they love watches and want something nice, and like the history and pedigree of them.

The gold is tacky as fuck, and a really nice Timex costs 1/25th the price and does the same fucking thing. But has backlighting and alarm functions as well as dive timing. Oh and calendar... and some other shit that's useful.

You buy a Rolex because you like making statements with your money, not because it's practical or more useful than a 100 dollar timex/casio/insert brand that does the same shit.

>>730169984
Well... You're almost correct. That Timex costs a hell of a lot less than 1/25 of the price. And it'll keep much better time.

People who buy fine timepieces have an appreciation of the art.

Sometimes.

I own a Rolex. Nice watch. I seldom wear it. Creepy people notice it. Makes me uncomfortable.

>>730167537
Because I don't want a noveau riche "I have no fucking class" upper class nigger tier watch.

A gentleman with class has at least a Breuget, Lange, Patek or Vacheron.

But since you are talking about Rolex..you obviously would need to google the above.

Personally as a starter sub 10k tier watch I'd recommend a pre-owned Lange 1815 or Saxonia, even though the Patek will hold its value better.

>>730170376
This. Once the rabbit is out of the hat, people notice shit like that and it's not for good reasons or admiration.

Go with something lesser known to the general public. It's fine and good to appreciate time pieces and such but again, a simple Timex will keep better time. Or thereabouts for whatever the hell the average person is doing.

Since many do not wear watches any longer, time keeping has largely fallen away due to technology. Cellphones and such have taken over. So the only real reason to wear a watch (I do) is for convenience and likely because you're used to it.

Otherwise it's a nice fashion accessory and/or again trying to make a statement. Ie. Look at me and my breitling/omega/rolex fancy timepiece that I could have purchased a car and a timex instead and been farther ahead of the game.

>can't afford one
The truly honest answer is that I'll never be able to afford such an expensive watch on a teacher's salary.

>don't want one
Sounds like bitter grapes, but I wouldn't buy one anyway. Not because I don't like them. They're really, really nice watches. A friend of mine owns one (yes, a real one) and it's gorgeous. I love it. But I'd be scared to death wearing it. Nick it, scratch it, chip it... a watch worth several thousand dollars? Yeah, no...

You could rationalize it anyway you want:

For money you came out retarded in spending that much when you can spend less and get a used [insert finer brand] that's much more interesting.

As a statement I don't want to look like a rich idiot that doesn't know anything about watches. If you think Rolex owners buy them because they have great horological knowledge, you're retarded.

As a useful device, it's almost useless: at best tells dual time, has a 60m timer, and tells you the date.

I'm a bit of an horological fan myself, but also a poorfag, so I only have a TAG (I know, very entry level), and a Oris (tool watch) (among others not worth mentioning) and I find myself using them less and lees every time, in favor of my G-Shocks that actually do quite a lot more.

That's why I don't own, and never will, a Rolex or similar brand.

ROLEXROELXROLEX is called rehaut. it was started around 2006 and they kept using it thereafter.

there are many models, and rolex isnt even the king of watches in ANY way, they just have a lot of social stigma, and people keep buying them so theyrre popular.

if you dont like their looks there are MANY models to look through to find what you want, and you are always allowed to pick a better brand. maybe you like patek philiipEES

or whatevver m8.

A dive watch, a mechanical dive watch (as we're most likely talking here) would never survive a regular MTB crash. Pick any Rolex model you want. They're simply not up to that kind of abuse.

I never say it wasn't obvious, the intended uses of each, I was answering OP's question: why don't you use a Rolex? Because I use G-Shocks and find them superior and more suited to my lifestyle than any mech.

Why? WHY is the movement a redeeming factor? A piece of centuries old tech that does very little and can break with a big hit and that you have to pay every few years to maintain?

Yes, yes I have, I'm an horological fan myself. Have you any idea into all the ridiculous level of tech that had to exist for G-Shocks to:
Charge with the sun.
Resist 10m+ drops.
Sync time anywhere in the world via RF and now GPS?
-Any other G-Shock regular function?

A mech is a mech is a mech, it only "needs" 17 jewels, it hasn't significantly evolved in centuries, anything above is for misinformed people that buy to impress. Actually, the only thing I've seen that is a mech with the wow factor you unjustly give to Rolex, are Ressence watches. Look them up!

On second thought, that's probably the beauty in it, ya know? Seiko, like Ford, makes something for everyone.

Poorfag can buy into a 4 banger or V6 stang. GT for the middle class man. GT500, GT350, GT 40, etc for upper middle class to rich.

Seiko is the same way. Grand Seikos are nice watches, but I'd rather buy a Rolex, Omega, or Tudor.

He's kinda wrong. In the scheme of things, MOST Rolex watches isn't as expensive as, say, Patek. Rolex, however, offers entry level steel sports watches, to platinum watches with diamonds costing well over $100K.

You're somewhat right. If you can afford a used car, you can save and afford an entry level Rolex.

But you provided a link to an old Rolex on eBay. A few problems with that model.

First off, the center links and end links are hollow. Expect stretch.

Secondly, because you're buying on the gray market, you don't know of all parts are genuine, if it has been properly polished and serviced in the past, etc. And you can lose money buying watches like this.

If you're going to buy a pre-ceramic Sub, such as a 16610, get one with SEL. A D serial, for example.

You're wrong. I know that model inside and out. While some 16610s have SELs, they ALL have hollow center links. And if yours does not, it's either a complete fake watch, or the bracelet is fake.

Prove me wrong, wise guy.

Pro tip: you can't. You won't.

If you want to understand the true value of your watch, educate yourself about watchmaking. Educate yourself about vintage Rolex watches. The history, why they're special, etc.

>It's a Pepsi style from the 70s. It's in a box in storage. Prob needs to be serviced. It'll stay in storage.

If all that's true, you have a great watch. If you do service it, do NOT send it to Rolex. Rolex will fuck your vintage piece up, lowering the value.

Do research and send it to a highly respected and reviewed vintage watch restorer. Do NOT change the bezel insert, dial, or any of the parts. Do NOT have it polished.

Only have the movement serviced.

By your logic everyone should be wearing calculator watches or those ones from the 90s that could record sound. Just because it has features, it's doesn't mean it's good.

I definitely know some finance bros who wear a rolex. they'd never wear it in front of their boss though.

I don't really dig the looks but the art behind it's making is what is beautiful.

expensive watches tell time, and they also tell the world you're a shallow asshole.

they serve no purpose other than trying to boost your self-worth through material things.

If it brings you joy then good for you :)
