There was a time when you pulled your sleeve to reveal Rolex was the final flexible. But these days, it seems expected.
I signed with his companion recently. He recorded the watch on my wrist, which is an independent thing, less famous, and torn his face. “Why do you wear it?” He asked, just as I committed only a horological crime. Frankly, he said more than an hour and made meditation on this topic.
This reaction made me realize what extent we moved away from individualism in the culture of monitoring. When is the luxury very uniform? Why do we all want the same submarine, Ditona, or Pepsi GMT watching this, to be honest, do you now see in every airport hall, management hall, and his brothers’ birthday dinner?
Green submarine effect
A local retail seller recently offered me a green submarine. Most men will lose their minds on this call. I? nothing. Not flashing in pants. It seems as if I had lost erection from Rolex. Decree though, but did it last?
It is not that the branch is not a good hour. that it. But I looked at her and thought, every man has one. And when the watch becomes a symbol of the case first and a personal choice secondly, it begins to feel the uniform.
Certainly, some Rolex models are still worth recycling. I will never say no Evoz Daunona. But I could have escaped from the green branch, and made a small profit … and I still do not want it. I am not a sole anyway. The watch is like a dog or a former wife. It’s life.
The hours are not investments. Not real, Imho.
Another thing that no one wants to say: selling watches is pain. Real pain in the rear. Worse than a car or anything else. People who buy a palace, and with a lot of falsehoods, it makes sense to be very careful.
Everyone talks about reselling it as if it was a sure thing. it’s not. Unless you bought Patek Nautilus before the noise became, or again in the Paul Neumannona when they were still five numbers, you are not investing. You speculate.
I have paid about ten Grand (USD) in my old Daytona, which may be equal to ten times now. But sell it? You are dealing with Rishi Tyre, shipping eagles, or gray market chaos. Good, pure, clean. You will not get what you want, and you will pay a 15 % commission.
So yes, good luck if you buy purely to earn money. For most people, this exit plan is more difficult than they believe.
Rolex culture problem… and snobbery
Rolex worship created this strange golden standard as anything else is seen as the second best. I wore the Shopard eagle of the Alps in the last week, and his companion looked at him as if I had slipped on crocodiles.
“Why don’t you wear your Rolex?” He asked. I wanted to say, “Why do you wear the same hour as all other financial brothers in this exaggerated restaurant?”
Like a Mercedes and pulling a face to someone with a Porsche. A different badge. The same league. Expand your taste, oh heimis.
What do you see instead?
If you are very brave to get rid of the Rolex walking device, there is a whole world there. Start with independent brands – emerging players. They still make hours for people, not algorithms.
Cartier, to anyone, kill her now. Elegant, original, improvement with each version. Santos is a large Vibi as in the LC tank.
Do not exceed Breitling, especially Navitimer. It will always be classic in smaller sizes.
Jaeger-LeCoultre is also a brand that surpasses separation, however it is often the purchase of a second or third hour. Polarization highly reduces.
Grand Seko? Quietly made some of the best faces at work. Finishing is nuts. Not to mention the accuracy of the spring campaign. Imagine buying an hour based on its quality on the brand name? Madness.
A. Lang & Söhne may be a stretch price, but if you can swing, you will never look at Rolex in the same way again. Vacheron Constantin is another brand that does everything properly with any Tiktok noise.
Final thoughtS
So yes, I am just a male. But I no longer get the same suspense from Rolex anymore. I lost that spark.
These days, I feel more enthusiastic than something you don’t see every day. Something looks like me, not everyone. This type of piece only the watches will recognize.
So, if you are on the market to get a new watch while you are blindly picking yourself in the brand because this is what everyone wants, and may be risen to it. It may be the best hour that you will not buy.
