Selling the ex love of your life!

All we do is talk about Rolex, show pictures of our Rolex, constantly say we love our Rolex and baby our Rolex.....

So.......Why do we seem to flip/sell them all the time.?
Are we like addicts that must have a bigger and better hit to satisfy the lust?



Is that it?
Of course there is the " need a new roof" which is good and fine.

But.................. is there more

I guess there first is like a gate way watch then we get new grails and sometimes need to flip


Is that your pic? I’ve seen it, or one like it. If yours, dis you have to remove and replace a screw on every bracelet...?

Quite the picture... gotta say it puts the dial of the sky dweller in perspective. It’s much larger than I imagined.

This picture is a perfect example about how money can’t buy good taste. I bet this is some Dubai “gentleman”. Also, if he either wasted hours of its life by popping up bracelets and locking them back or paid someone to do it for him so that he can let the world know how small his penis is well that suggest most of his brain neurons need some tune ups.

i don't like any of them or the car,

simple tastes for me, a basic gmt or sub, or a president.

people flip them because they are restless types who think that a constantly new watch or other possession will make them happy, it cant and it doesn't.

Don't worry, at some point the oil will run out. With the way India and China are gobbling it up, it will be sooner than later!!!
