Advice on First Rolex

[Godfather111]

Those who want respect, give respect.

I think someday when/if you become a father yourself, you will understand why so many guys here take offense with your plan.

Since most of the responses here already reflect how I feel about your question, I will not pile on but instead give you an answer to your original question. Sigh.

1. Buy a pre-owned 16610 LV, that's a Kermit if you can find one.
2. KEEP IT IN THE BOX FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS.
3. Sell it for a profit in the year 2022 or thereafter.

This will at the very least, teach you patience. And that's going to be more valuable than any profit you make.

This thread smells of troll. Nobody could be that stupid. If there is any truth in it if I don’t know how he could ask the members on here for advice, when they have all worked hard to get their watches and treasure them. Even more so if they had been fortunate enough to have been given one.

I mean, what do you WANT if not an Explorer II, which is an awesome watch and something most people on this forum would have been over the moon to receive as a graduation gift? If it isn’t a Rolex, why don’t you just ask for it? If you just want to flip, you don’t need a Rolex. You can do that right now with “your” own money with Seiko divers and other quality watches that don’t cost a ton to get into.

If you’re real, then you should probably skip the gift and just have an honest conversation with your dad. Most people in his situation aren’t away from their homes and family half the year due to preference. They’re trying to provide for their family the best way they can. I just can’t imagine his disappointment if he spent all this time away just to find out his spoiled son uses his hard earned gift to sell the week after he receives it.

Please help, I want to start getting the ball rolling ASAP. My goal is to start flipping.

You're a little POS troll, and a bad one at that.

@kearez I'm not tricking my father and that example that you gave is completely different. The plan is to have something better to show off next time I see him. Theres a big difference

Enlighten me on the difference as I dont see it.

your starting out in the wrong business, I don't think the TRF flippers here are really doing it to make a profit and/or a living.

As a father, the only things I ask of my children are honesty and integrity, neither of which is displayed by your actions on this forum. I would be HIGHLY disappointed if my kids acted the way you have laid out your intentions and even more disappointed if they carried out your dastardly plan.

I know you don't care what I think, so best of luck.

If one of my kids did this I would feel manipulated and cheated. If that's what you're aiming for, you're right on target.

The help you need isn't available here.

If he buys that watch and you try to flip you will get less than he paid for it. With this plan you'll flip your way into a Timex in no time.

I know you’ve been told this by now, but that is a really $hitty thing to do. If you want cash, ask for cash.

I wish someone on here knew your dad, so they could inform him.

You should consider the fact that this gesture could mean a lot to him, and he could possibly be devastated by your actions.

My advice is grow up and get a life. You’re an ungreatful selfish jerk. Treat your father with some respect.

I'm not going to lie, I plan on selling/flipping the watch as soon as I get it. I'm a complete newbie but fascinated at the possibilities and opportunities that this presents.

I have been primarily searching on Amazon and Jomashop. Is this a good deal and how much would I be able to sell it for?

Any specific suggestions or advice appreciated.

Thanks. I look forward to becoming a contributing member of this community.

I feel for your father , talking as a father myself . All the best either way

Your goal in life is to look after your ageing parents, taking care of their needs for the rest of their lives .Your Rolex flipping garbage does not impress me one bit ! I suggest that you find yourself an honest hard-working humble job instead of being lazy. Sure, flipping watches could be a part time passionate hobby BUT your judgement is clouded by all those punks who sell and trade watches on eBay !Didn't you just say you were binge drinking all night and drunk when you created this thread?So now you're assuming drinking 'straight up' and asking for a Rolex is a better idea?

This.
