So now I’m thinking about maybe the Hulk. But I’m just not sure, Is it a good investment? Will it be worth more than the PepsiC in 7.4 years? Speaking of the PepsiC what’s with that color? I thought Rolex was going to make the exact same watch as the 16710 just with a ceramic bezel?? And a jubilee? That’s for old geezers. My AD said I could be 15th on the list for the Pepsi if I want though. How long will that take for me to get it? Will there be a price increase between now and then? What if I pre-pay? Speaking of paying, how much of a discount should I expect? Man, all the flippers have really made it hard to buy anything. And don’t even get me started on gray dealers! How dare they sell something for more than they bought it for! Maybe I’ll just stick with the Rolex I found in my grandfathers sock drawer. Is it real?

Clearly this forum is no longer a place for the serious watch connoisseur whom is deeply passionate about the Rolex brand and incredible history. Instead it’s been relegated to Trolls and Snowflakes whom want to call them by super hero names and double there investments over night!

Consider yourself lucky lol. No one has ever pulled out a genuine Rolex out of a sock drawer in the history of the world

Sad but true. And these attitudes are only increasing.

Will legalizing marijuana increase or decrease the cost? Should I buy now, or wait?

Depends, do you want Afghani or Pakistani product? If so ceramic is the way to go.

If I have 3 pencils and you have 5 apples, how many pancakes will fit on the roof? Purple because aliens don't wear hats.
