A poll regarding honesty and integrity...

[Bryant Park]

The scenario is as follows:

You already own a SS white face ceramic Rolex Daytona. A long forgotten dealer call yields a call saying " your name came up the watch is yours at list". Please answer honestly and whichever most describes the driving factor behind your action.

This was driven by a discussion on PP and no character attacks should result please.

I'd tell them I already own one and thank him for the courtesy. I don't really need 2 Daytonas, for profit or otherwise.







Unless it's a different color dial than the one I already have. j/k

They are rare enough that others should have the chance to enjoy one without paying through the nose.

[Laszlo]

I would tell the AD that I would have to pass because I already own one and appreciate the outreach.

If someone I was friends with wanted it, I'd probably buy it and sell it to them at no profit. Otherwise, I'd pass.

What he said

[Bryant Park]

What will be interesting is that I anticipate no one will be a flipper. So who are they and why are there so many Daytonas offered in the grey. Of course I realize that TRF is an exceptional group but pretty remarkable if it comes to pass.

I would buy it and sell it to a friend at cost.

I would buy it and sell it to a stranger at cost, and make a new friend ... :-)

I hadn't thought of that but like it. You may as well ensure it finds a good home.

[Bigblu10]

I would flip it and use the 5K profit to take my family on a bucket list vacation.
May not be a popular answer, but hey I'm being honest.

[Etschell]

you can buy whatever you want and do whatever you want with it. if people frown upon you for flipping for a profit it is laughable. whoever buys it even at the increased price will enjoy it.

that said if you want to be a mench tell them you already have one or offer it up to a member here.

[swils8610]

I’d take it and let other Rolex fans aware I have it and sell it to an enthusiast at what I paid for it.

I don’t see the word Ceramic or 904l bezel.

[ckaynyc]

Buy it for the wife.

[denmanproject]

Buy it and sell to a TRF member for cost, could do some sort of trivia competition

[locutus49]

Not worth the hassle to me, but I would post the opportunity on TRF and help someone buy it.

The last time that happened Tom got pawned.

I would just move on.

Allow me to rephrase the poll...

You are walking and $4000 falls out of the sky and hits you square on the head.

A) keep it

B) walk away

C) give it to a friend

I'm not wealthy enough to pretend I would pass on 4K in my pocket. I'm 29 and have plenty of uses for that free money. Buy for a dollar sell for two doesn't make you the devil. It makes you a capitalist.

Regardless of age.

Don't get me wrong the watches always come first but I'm not naive. These are just luxury goods. What we do with them doesn't determine our character.

There's a weird proclivity on here to judging the occasional flipper yet praising those who do it for a living. I find that odd but I digress...

This

I buy and flip watches when the opportunity comes available. If there's a potential for profit why not? Its not like you are hurting the seller.... You are paying full retail for their product - what happens next is irrelevant.

I would buy and flip. There are countless watch dealers within a 10 minute walk from my apartment, and there's even a gray dealer on the ground floor of the building. It would be a very quick way to put a few thousand dollars in my pocket

[rebel_1]

Other. Without reading any other response. Not a very sensical question imho.
