Anyone else fell for the rolex jew and spend 40k$ on some rose gold sportswatch?
It felt nice literally only 2 days on my wrist before minor scratches started to appear and the whole euphoria faded literally on a reverse parabolia into depression. What the fuck am i doing in life? Who cares about what you wear on your wrist? There is literally 1:1 replicas out there for 400$ no roastie ever would tell the difference.
Should i sell it for an used 911? Will that bring more joy or should i kms?
I’m a car guy go get the 911. I have a Bmw and I love it.
So actually doing something aka driving the product is more fun than just wearing a product
Can somebody confirm
Yeah a friend of mine bought a fake Rolie for £200 from a gypsy. It looks legit as fuck. I'm sure if you knew about watches you could tell it was fake but goddamn does it still look good; enough to flex on normies for sure.
Sell it and get to know your local Romani community OP.
Neat.
I spent $40 for this replica in Thailand. Nobody except maybe a dealer can tell the difference.
kys
Rolex isnt to look good. Its a store of value.
Except that it ‘ticks’ and doesn’t have a sweeping second hand so everyone can actually tell immediately.
This. Think it as an investment, my BLNR has doubled in value the last few years.
The hand that counts the seconds in a legit Rollie shouldn't tick. Its a sweeping motion, very clean.
Everyone knows this.
idk i love my watch
youre just retarded and dont know what you really want and youre stupidly spending, hoping you find it
Former pawnbroker here. That isn't true. Those are urban legends. Rolex makes watches that tick and glide.
The easiest ways to tell are to call rolex and tell them the serials or to look at the cyclops(the magnifying bubble) or if you have the ability to test the steel. Rolex uses a special surgical steel.
Some fakes are so good you have to call rolex and otherwise wouldn't be able to tell.
I can tell the difference. The markers aren't aligned (visible on the one o'clock mainly), the bezel coloring is wrong, not to mention the gen has a working chronograph whereas your rep doesn't.
I can tell the difference just by the pic. You’re a fucking clown.
The $400-500 fakes are nearly indistinguishable on appearance from gens until you check the movement. Once you open the back, it's clearly a fake.
i can easily tell the difference
Ok show me a Rolex with Quartz movement?
watches appreciate and cars don't pleb
I know the Date-Just used quartz movement on one model.
Very good fakes exist but not for 40
dateJUST
Why open the rolex when you can just call the company and ask?
Yup even in the ‘better’ fakes with automatic movement (you won’t be getting those for under $100 as it’s the movement that costs the money) the chronographs are still just for show and don’t work unless it’s a AAA copy. But these go for a much higher price.
The easiest way to tell is the serial number under the 6 marker should match the registration card in the box. The steel has a more sharper finish on fakes and of less quality, the ‘E’ in Rolex may extend out too much, and the Rolex symbol should be engraved not laser etched to the underside of the bracelet.
first mistake was not buying a certified rolex off of ebay. NEVER BUY NEW, whether it's cars, jewelry.
Yes the Oysterquartz from 1970. But I repeat show me one current model that uses a quartz movement?
Joke's on you faggots. I stole the image of a real Rolex from reddit. Fucking pretentious morons can't tell shit haha
You asked for a model. Pawn shops get 1970s models all the time. If your argument is about current models sure they all glide but so do many of the fakes so it isn't the best way to judge authenticity.
Yeah scratches are simply unavoidable on watches, which makes the whole enterprise kinda gay and dumb
Lmaoo BTFO'd
Also gj owning those fags kek
What some owners do is buy a replica along with the legit watch. You store the watch and wear the replica. Rolex do appreciate in value overtime, but you probably fucked that up by scratching it.
Based
Fuck watches. Your cell phone shows the time, nobody needs fucking watches in 2019. Just wear pure gold if you wanna ball
NOBODY gives a fuck about your watch besides fellow MALE watch enthusiasts
Top kek, this is peasant talk. It is apparent that you have the same mindset as the ghetto dwellers.
You said ‘Rolex makes watches that tick and glide.‘
So my answer was no they don’t. As they don’t make quartz watches, and only made one model historically.
I never said that was the best way to tell a fake, I said on $40 copy that it would be an immediate tell as you wouldn’t get an automatic movement on that price of watch.
Absolutely based. Like the time I filled a 1950 bottle of wine with some $6 stuff I found at the local liquor store and brought it to a tasting. Everyone commented on how "exquisite" it was. I love fucking with pretentious keks.
This sounds legit retarded.
Own a real Rolex but wear the fake one.
How can you watch fools not realize how manipulated you are?
What? Fucking incel
Of course you wouldnt walk around with some heavy gold chain/bracelet because your "street cred" and cool factor is like 1/10
Again, NOBODY gives a shit about watches besides fellow male watch enthusiasts. You're the kind of dumbass bitch that would spit on $200 picrelated yet if it was made by Rolex and cost 20K, you'd gladly buy one
Bitchass soiboi
I don't see how selling a watch for more than you paid for is being manipulated. Why does Jow Forums hate making money?
LMAO
Pls user sit down. Clearly you have no taste in watches. There are quite a few watches under $500 that are respected by watch enthusiasts.
Spent 1500 dollars on this bad boy
How hard would it be to make a living selling fake watches?
Can pawnbrokers easily spot fakes these days?
looks hideous with those huge numbers on the outer rim
>There are quite a few watches under $500 that are respected by watch enthusiasts
I wouldnt know because I'm not a faggot
Hey does Rolex sell make-up btw? Lmao
This is rarely the case. 99% of people buying luxury watches are doing it to stroke their ego and vanity. Even if they claim it’s a hedge against inflation, it’s still for their ego.
What does an average Rolex return per year?
You're a fucking tool. Pawn-broker user added something to the thread - stop being a pedantic dickhead. Or KYS
going to take my CHR profits to buy me one of those
can't wait
I agree
Might as well say CASIO on it
Fucking ugly-ass watch
Do you people not have phones to check the time with?
Can you not afford one because you spent all your money on watches?
It's interesting how quartz watches were considered fancy in the 70s.
You can't find the Batman anywhere nowadays without a premium
This. I also have pic related, which is a Seiko 5 Japanese made automatic movement military watch with see through rear glass, that I wear just as much as my more expensive watches.
A digital pocketwatch is still a pocketwatch.
>Can pawnbrokers easily spot fakes these days?
Not if they're really well made and paid attention to detail when making the fake
Unironically looks like it sells for $50 brand new
Jesus Christ, can't you watchfaggots go to /fa/ or something?
Because again, NOBODY gives a fuck about your expensive watches besides fellow MALE watch enthusiasts
Then get a used Apple Watch off Ebay for $150.
>Come into a watch thread
>Complains about people talking about watches
SHIIITEERRRRRSSSS
SHHHHHEEEIIIIITTTEEERRRSS
LOOK AT ALL THESE PHUCKING LEWZAHZ WITH THEIHR PHUCKING SHITTAHS
>fashion thread on Jow Forums
Wrong board. Go to /fa/ggot
I don't care how often we have those threads, they belong on /fa/, not on Jow Forums
Jesus, what is wrong with your wrist user?
b8
What about my watch?
I bought this for 380
please no bully
itt: people who dont know their phone is better at telling accurate time
Yeap a special kind of stupid. Almost as dumb as driving a lambo when you can get from one place to the next with a cheap $500 car
>Blowing 40k$ on a watch
How much fucking money do you have? How can you afford to buy things like this on the whim, what the fuck?
Just get a used Omega Speedmaster for $1500 and call it a day. You can always sell it back and break even if you get bored of it.
HOYL SHIT WTF DUDE YOUR SO FAT!
Fake story, but it would probably work.
i know this isn't your wrist cause ive seen this posted a million times but lmao look at the knuckles on this guy. you cant see them hahahah
these threads are like fucking gold/silver thread. First you ignore then suddenly you dicided to read them now you want one.
Some things are expensive, some things are simply overpriced.
Daily reminder: Wear whatever makes you happy. Trying to impress normies/roasties that at best will say "nice watch" (but will probably not even notice) is laughably pathetic.
You wouldn't be having that reverse parabola into depression if your watch kept its value.
Considering you bought the wrong Rolex (sky dweller, in precious metal no less) that's not going to happen for you.
For that money you should've bought a vintage Newman, or a steel Patek.
>Rolex is a store of value
Only certain model Rolexes though.
And Rolexes in precious metal hold their value terribly regardless of model.
dead sexy user. restrained, tasteful and debonair
Rolexes tick at 28,800 beats per hour, which is a very standard beat rate.
You fell for the marketing bs.
