So what are we arguing about?
What is the biggest "argument" regarding Rolex watches?
1. Date vs No Date Sub 2. Jubilee vs Oyster bracelet in a DateJust 3. Whether the Daytona is too small on the wrist 4. If we should buy from the grey marker dealers 5. Other |

Not so much arguments... more opinions or worse... endless threads and polls with the same questions....

Simply differences of opinion. That’s not a big deal if you’re a thinking person. But, unfortunately, sometimes there tends to be inflammatory comments and folks personalize their disagreements when it’s really not necessary.

1) Date preferably but wearing an Explorer & not bothered at all. 2) Oyster 3) No it's fine. 4) Yes we should. Supply & demand and why wait?

1. Are there two versions of the BLRO or is it a "trick of the light"?
2. Why do people insist in giving the new BLNR a girly superhero name? 3. Whether to buy any SS watch you stumble across and flip for a quick profit or leave for someone who might actually want it. 4. How come Grey stock levels are rising every day when Rolex is "deliberately reducing supply"? 5. Other |

You also have the meta argument of 2-Liner v 4-Liner (COSC) on the Submariner, as well as arguments over whether it’s ok to call it a “No Date” rather than just a Submariner.

Seems to me this one is:
AD vs. grey dealer Folks seems to argue either side, and sometimes both... this hobby used to be about enjoining watches. Now it's about who got what at what price..... :-( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whether or not the shortage is real
Is the Daytona’s dial legible enough? |

Apparently whether or not certain professional models are really professional models and whether there are non-sports professional models (not naming names).

Which Rolex is the best investment? The one I can’t get or the other one I can’t get?

Is there a such thing as a waitlist?
Which model is the best investment? Is there a bubble? If so, is it like tulips or baseball cards? Is this too big for my wrist? |
