Better off keeping the money. Joking

JimmyD · 17 December 2013, 11:34 AM

You cant spend it when you're gone, so treat yourself now...I said to myself if a woman expects 2-3 months of a man's salary on her finger for an engagement ring, I should at least love myself enough to put 8 grand on my wrist first....I bought the Sub C w/date, and haven't yet regretted it...

htc8p · 17 December 2013, 06:23 PM

you have the money.

but are you ready to spend all your money and be a slave to buying rolex your entire life?

dont take my word for it. try it for yourself.

VICI · 17 December 2013, 11:58 PM

Still need convincing??

subtona · 18 December 2013, 12:01 AM

I bought my sub in 1991 and like yourself questioned if it was the right thing, never ever regretted it...once i got the amex bill paid

JCZ5 · 18 December 2013, 09:36 AM

Submariner is a timeless piece that will stay in style and remember prices are just going to increase as the years progress. Back in 2010 weren't subs $7100ish msrp (no date).

Madoldlad · 18 December 2013, 12:23 PM

Do I need anymore convincing? No I have bought a sub c n/d".............love it

JCZ5 · 18 December 2013, 02:14 PM

May I ask if you bough it at an AD or elsewhere? I am trying to decide for myself

bde · 19 December 2013, 01:17 PM

Ah, just do it! :thumbs:

david91686 · 19 December 2013, 01:53 PM

Its been said already but the great thing is if you decide a few days in that you have made a bad decision , they are so easy to flip at little or no loss at all!!! I certainly dont buy my watches as an investment , but with rolex it is nice to know that they really do retain value , especially if you buy at a good price from one of the great sellers on the forum!!!!

david91686 · 19 December 2013, 01:53 PM

Sorry for the CAPS!!!

mruhland31 · 13 January 2014, 08:20 AM

I won't get into quality, finish, features,etc. what I will say is this. I bought my Sub C a year ago and there has not been one day that I didn't get excited to wear this watch. Every day is like the first day for me. I'm totally in love

Spartacus · 15 January 2014, 02:35 AM

The Submariner is just so clean, crisp and has the perfect clasp...nobody does comfort and clean lines like Rolex.

TypeR · 1 March 2014, 10:14 AM

The 114060 sub is my favourite nowaday.....

MetalNuts · 1 March 2014, 11:38 AM

Are you going to blame us to get u join us as Rolex owners?

sbp9092 · 22 May 2014, 01:41 AM

I was on the fence just like you...got my new sub this week and it feels like it was made for me...if you're debating the question then you will certainly enjoy the watch because it is that great.

BlackBay · 28 May 2014, 05:06 AM

Classic 16610 still the best. Period.

Great watch. Come back when you need convincing on your next one.

Actually I would wait. There should be a price reduction coming soon.

Chaps

I bought a 39mm Explorer back in January which was intended to be my one and only Rolex. I like the quiet nature of the beast, it does not scream Rolex, it can be worn with anything on any occasion with any form of attire. I

t is the perfect gentlemens watch.

However in a moment of untypical and uncontrolled passion, I recently bought a mint 2003 sub with a date.

I now wish to God I had bought the non date variety because it simply looks miles better than the dated version.

The Cyclops is a sensible feature but it clogs up the visuals of the watch whereas the undated versions just looks like what a watch should look like.

Therefore I would just go for it, I cannot see you ever regretting it.

Regards

Mick

Dave in Wales · 11 July 2014, 03:08 PM

I ordered a 'vanilla' Datejust 116200, due for delivery tomorrow.

Last evening I cancelled it and ordered a 116600 instead.

WHY....
I'm 71, the DJ is the watch I should have, NOT the watch that I WANT.

I have skinny wrists, 6.75'ish but I'm going for it...and I CAN'T WAIT, it looks a beauty.

Mu2008 · 11 July 2014, 09:26 PM

I bought my Sub no date last week. I am so happy about this watch. I'm sure anyone else that buys one feels the same way.

Good on you Dave - looking forward to seeing some pics!

rolepam312 · 24 July 2014, 11:29 PM

If you need convincing, it's not for you....do you need convincing in other decisions in life?? Be a man, do it or don't ...what does it matter what some strangers on this forum think??

I bought the non date and went back a week later and exchanged it for date. non date is cleaner look but if you wear it daily, the date can be very helpful I find.

Rogdogg · 9 September 2014, 05:03 PM

Congratulations on the final decision to buy. You won't regret it and will grow to love it more and more. I must ask, have you decided yet what your second will be?
