For some it may be a watch it’s not always about making cash. Again classic cars for me a car is a car to me its something that has four wheels and a steering wheel. If it’s classic its probably going to break more and require more money for me to fix but some people have a joy in cars and it’s their goal to have a certain car.

A guy in France I worked with once asked me why do you British look at houses as an investment and making money it’s a home as long you have a garden and enough rooms that’s it.

How often do you drink piss

December 2020 Milgauss Zblue

Wow now I see the time frame ... was very fast the building of my collection

Wait, so you were able to get a 126710BLNR in 2019 as your first purchase, and then in less than 6 months you get a 116500LN, and then the same year a 126610LV (1 month after release)... without ANY prior spending history or any sort of relationship with the AD? If so, you sir, are The One, you broke the Matrix (for me at least).

Ha ha. Probably should have said the taste makes me cringe.

On another point If the Daytona’s were in the cases in 2008 then we just have to wait for everyone to get bored of watches and then we won’t have to do worry about avg spend it happened with panerai so why won’t it happen with Rolex

I am in contact since 6 years with the biggest AD in my country. Bought 116613LB, BLNR & Cellini Date for my father in 2015-2016. When the DaytonaC published i asked and they put me into the list. 2017-2018 no calls and no possibility. Stopped asking and went grey dealer. Paid 21k usd for the white in 2019. My last conversation with their store manager is being in the waiting list is BS and he advised me to go “grey” since all the supply is controlled by the boss.
During that time i developed good relationship with my grey dealer. Everyweek or so he gets a DaytonaC & BLRO and think from where ??? And even with stickers if its requested so possible.

Panerai increased production during their 'Hype' period and completely devalued the brand , Rolex don't seem to be making the same mistake

As an easily recognisable status symbol, Panerai has nothing on Rolex.

Nobody has anything on Rolex. People who don’t love watches love Rolex anyway and couldn’t care less if Panerai was some sort of bread.

Apart from the genuine niche brands, everybody else is riding on Rolex’s coattails and feeding off its scraps.

So when the great correction that is so widely predicted comes, everyone’s going to flee anything that’s not Rolex first.

Rolex is first in, last out. The rest are the opposite.

Buy stuff that you actually want. If you get the Daytona, great. If not, you still have things that you want.

Don’t buy to build your account.

Hahaha here is the kicker the AD owner is a good friend of my wife’s family... so my wife has some good friends

Never bought anything from an AD except watches I could not live without!

That's right. I found out they have a sister store that carries other brands and built my account buying things I actually wanted like omega and a Lange to get the BLRO.

116520 just as good

Sometimes they like you and they will sell it to you with no history or little history with them. Sometimes no matter who you are or what you spend you won't be getting one from that AD. Here in Los Angeles, there are enough VIPs, celebrities and super-spender whales, you can't buy your way into a Daytona if you tried. Demand is so high right now across the whole line of Rolex models, AD's here sell Daytonas to whom they want, they don't need to reward big customers with a Daytona.

Yes, absolutely correct
