Looks like you can rent tudor for $150 a month and rolex for $300 (steel). If its legit, and you get to pick exactly what watch you want each month, its not a bad idea for people who would like to try a watch for an extended period before committing to a purchase. It could potentially reduce buyers remorse and people flipping their watches after a few weeks. All this being said, its not really something I would ever do.

You definitely wouldn't get the same buzz as when you buy a watch but may work for some people

Apologies if OP is sincere, but does anyone think these repeated threads about eleven james are a bit suspicious ? It seems to have come up many times on TRF

Indeed. Always people who "just joined" as well.

I checked out the website and the prices are ridiculous. It's an annual membership, and from what I read on the FAQs, you don't pick the watch you want. You select a "level" of membership which grants you access to a certain level of watch. You do give them a list of your preferred choices. Quite honestly, you would come out better buying a watch and then selling if you didn't like it rather than joining this club.

If anyone has an opposing argument, I would love to hear it. I just don't see the value in this service at the prices they have listed.

Kind of agree. They're not new yet people seem to "just discover" it all the time.

Yea they certainly look expensive and if you can't pick what you like that's pointless
