Bravo for getting in before they ruined them with a bloody awful logo

And for genuinely limited pieces I can appreciate the practice protects the true collector, for someone like Rolex who apparently actually make millions of watches its creates a distaste. It’s something I am agiatated by but I appreciate for others it won’t be an issue.

But in the long run, I feel the majority of watch collectors pay over the top due to deliberate false marketing or spin or whatever you want to call it. Small manufacturers manufacturing small batches I will give a pass too, but the big boys who pretend to be small batch not so much.

P.s. it’s a beautiful watch, congratulations.

Sorry but still the only Rolex I want to buy.

Beautiful watch but the elitism of having to be a horological ninja with reference number memory and the secret handshake practiced so your doing it in your sleep, turns me off completely.

If your brand is so pretentious that it won’t sell to Joe Public, even if Joe can afford your product,then my money is going elsewhere.

It’s one element of watch collecting that is making me consider selling up, buying that one piece that covers most bases and calling it a day.

Multiple shades of Blue, with a bit of bronze thrown in for good measure

commented on What’s your best hot-take on watch collecting? ·

Rolex is hype and massively over rated, the build quality of numerous other brands is as good if not better and don’t get me started on the scarcity of Rolex, often reported that they make more watches than anyone else.

Woha I love the snow flake hand, I stare at my black bay heritage 41 just for the hands, cathedral hands are the same for me, but Mercedes hands…..pass me a bucket 🤮🤢
