Rolex Watches

[Djgb13 2,338]

Anyone think they are worth it? Or just a waste of money?

[patweisers44 697]

I have a low-end one. I have a friend that owns a pawn shop and got a really good deal on it. I only wear a watch on rare occasions...weddings, funerals, etc. Basically any time I am wearing a suit. No chance I would ever pay full price for one, though.

My watchmaker says they suck.

Best I own is a Movado. I ain't that fancy

I got a $25 watch as a gift about 25 years ago. It finally broke about 3 years ago and I found the same model for $20. It does everything a Rolex does and more.

 

A Rolex is not a watch. It is jewelry and jewelry is for ladies.

I've always wanted a TAGHeuer. I'd never drop the money on one but they have some nice styles.

[Djgb13 2,338]

I've got one but it's one of the less expensive ones. Saw my sister and BIL yesterday and commented how I like his wife. My sister is like "oh you like that huh? It was a 15 year wedding anniversary gift. It's a $25,000 Rolex". I'm sitting there sh1t I don't think I could drop that much on a dam watch. Most I could do would maybe be a couple thousand but not no dam car loan amount on a watch

Pervert.

Yea it was my bday yesterday so I went to see my nephews last basketball game at his school before he starts junior high and then we went to eat. Apparently my BIL had a couple more of those $20,0000+ watches

Isn't a Rolex just like a Harley Davidson? Basically, your just paying for the name? A look at me status symbol.

When I had the opportunity to visit NYC several years ago, one of my "things to do" was find an imitation Rolex for my wife from one of the street sellers. They were everywhere (not in Manhattan). Found a nice silver one. Probably overpaid for it, but gave him $40 for it. She gets compliments on it all the time.

[penultimatestraw 473]

Like just about every "luxury" item, they ain't worth it.

My ex wife bought me one. Piece of junk.

I think this would be the way to go. People wouldn't know it's fake and you still have a decent watch

[Cruzer 1,992]

I would never spend that kind of money for a watch, even if I were filthy rich.

[ROCKFORD 134]

most places have clocks on the wall. but that trend has diminished.

This. I wear a $40 Timex.

Like Newbie's womans asswhole, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

[Cruzer 1,992]

I'm just too flat out clumsy. I am constantly banging my wrist against shiit.. I buy a $100 Fossil every couple of years - they look pretty sharp and are a fair price for what they are.

I don't like the way most luxury watches look am wouldn't want to wear one anyway, but I'd be embarrassed to wear a pricey status symbol lik a Rolex.

 

I have my Timex and a G Shock. I've never wanted a fancier watch. Then again I drive a 12 y/o Volvo and don't want a new car either.

[fandandy 3,311]

I got a Citizen. It's casual with a canvas strap and it charges by sunlight. It seems to be good quality but I rarely wear a watch.

My wife's dad passed away and the MIL gave me his. I'm like the poster above who breaks it out when my wife wants me to look fancy. Other than that, it sits in my junk drawer.

I've been buying fossil watches cause they seem to have a decent amount of styles that i like. I can't find watches I like in bulova, movado, citizen, etc that I actually like

My phone has a clock.

Same, just wear it with suits

[Mungwater 588]

I have a tag, it's a nice watch..

[giraldi02 470]

People wear watches still? I bet those are the same people with joint checking accounts and two separate beds in the bedroom

[BufordT 371]

About 15 years ago, I bought a high quality fake one online for about $100 out of some European country. I wear it about twice a year mostly to weddings or some other high end function. Its actually a very nice looking watch. A friend of mine had a jeweler friend of his look at it. The only way he was able to tell it was fake was by the weight of it and when he opened it up to look at the inner workings. Jeweler said that the fake will probably tell better time than a real one. When people make comment about it I always come clean....eventually. If nothing else its a great conversation piece.

[Meglamaniac 380]

My dad brought me a fake one back from China about 10 years ago, I think I may have worn it 5 times.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Seriously - why even get a fake?

 

My circle of people, whom I spend 90% of my time with - will know damn good and well I didn't go out and drop $10k for a Rolex... And the other 10% of the people, who I don't 'know, I don't give a shiit if they're impressed or not by a watch.

[WhiteWonder 2,171]

I had a fossil watch (big time baby ) in high school when they were trendy. You had to have a fossil and oakley sunglasses. I probably still have that watch somewhere it was a xmas gift from grandma wonder.

 

I dn't wear watches even with suits. Hate them

And it would keep getting knocked on your leafblower

They're great for when you need to dress up and go places.

Check out Swiss Army watches. They have a lot of styles to choose from and good prices. I have one like this.

Oh I agree with most of that. It's still a good, quality, nice looking watch for $100. I've had it 15+ years with no issues. You're right, most people don't notice or don't care. Once in a while, though, it is a great conversation piece.

Ha, I actually love my leaf blower - it's a life saver!

[tanatastic 2,061]

Pretty sure in the years since they were "rapper cool" other watchmakers have established themselves as higher class for much cheaper.

[jerryskids 5,169]

I have a Tissot which I got for around $200 in Grand Cayman in 2009. I've heard them called poor man rolexes. I like wearing watches but couldn't see dropping 5 figures on one.
