Stocks are for investing, mass produced modern Rolex are for wearing

Speedbird-1 · 21 January 2021, 05:27 AM

You've not been here long Fin, so you may get a pass.

But, investment is a very dirty word in some quarters here.

Ok not so much an investment piece. Because I dont plan on selling it. That was worded wrongly haha. I guess I like to buy things I know will hold value as I deem it as more worth it. Just a personal thing I guess.

Got a hot tip that ladies DJs are going to be the next big thing. Buy as many as you can!

A lot of the people around here do not care for the Rolex nicknames. They prefer everyone use the model number.

To help you out, I will answer your question in a way that better suits the purist around here - I prefer the 126710 over the 116710, but just slightly. I would be happy with either. That being said, I think every collection should have a Submariner. If given the choice, I would start with a 124060. By the way, I would not pay over retail.

emersm · 21 January 2021, 07:03 AM

Whichever color combination and bracelet style you like, that is the watch you should get.

Ferdelious · 21 January 2021, 07:09 AM

I get that nicknames are easier to remember than reference numbers but this has to stop. And I'm not just calling out the OP.

Travelair007 · 21 January 2021, 07:11 AM

I don’t know what the beef is with Rolex as an “Investment”... I lose money on my investments too so..............

Lord I hate these nicknames

Token74 · 21 January 2021, 07:37 AM

There is nothing wrong with considering future resale value, most of us on here have probably sold a few watches along the way whilst building our collections. I agree the investment threads are a bit tedious, but considering future value is different from buying as an investment.

As for nicknames, i don’t tend to use them (although i occasionally am guilty of using ‘Pepsi’), but then i have become a watch nerd and therefore am very familiar with the reference numbers. For ‘normal’ folk and newbies, i suspect nicknames make life a lot easier, and not everyone should be expected to become a watch enthusiast/expert/nerd to contribute to this forum.

Not suggesting i like the nicknames, but don’t really get the beef with them either.

OP - but the watch you prefer. If you ever end up having to sell, the Sub and the BLNR’s will all be easy to move on. I’m not a fan of the Sub, but i do like the GMT and thing the extra complication makes it more interesting. My preference would be the Jubilee bracelet BLNR (batgirl!) rather than the oyster. But this is all personal preference.

Buy the watch you like and will wear.

Harry-57 · 21 January 2021, 08:17 AM

Buy the one you like the most or the one which has the most useful functions.

I work across multiple time zones. I find a reference time function very useful. So if I couldn't have both, I would go for a GMT over a diver. But not the BLNR.

afmars · 21 January 2021, 09:06 AM

Get the one that you like the most. Nobody here can tell you which is better because neither one is better. Personally I would prefer the LV over the BLNR because I don't care much for the bright blue on the BLNR.

Alexmj · 21 January 2021, 09:07 AM

I love "starbucks coffee"

darthgman · 21 January 2021, 09:14 AM

You really can't go wrong with Subs or GMT's. As others have said buy what you think looks better / functions are more useful for you. If we're going with nicknames here, Batmans are no longer in production, Batgirls are a couple of years in and Starbucks just came out. All three are hard to obtain right now if you go the AD route.

bejzv · 21 January 2021, 09:21 AM

The nicknames though... it gets on my nerves sometimes.
Well, I say go for the Batman. But your choice and what suits you matters most.

vh2k · 21 January 2021, 09:30 AM

Wait a minute. OP is the one who recently got scammed out of £11,000.

And now he’s back and wants to plunk down £12-15,000 on another watch?

rmlovett1 · 21 January 2021, 09:33 AM

The ones you’re looking at, all hold their value well. If you like the sub better than the gmt....then yes, it’s worth the price. Get the one you’ll love on your wrist the most.

You are right.

OP, did you get your watch or money back from that transaction?

For new watch, just get the watch that sing to you louder, both of them are good.

VacherObsessive · 21 January 2021, 09:55 AM

Why were you selling your 116610LN in the first place? It’s was an amazing piece and a great achievement for your age

Rollieboo23 · 21 January 2021, 10:34 AM

Don’t listen to these snobs on this forum. Call the watch what you want.

Seddyspaghetti · 21 January 2021, 10:40 AM

No, imo starbucks is not worth the extra money right now as it will probably drop a bit once more hit the market. But never below the batman.

Get what you like. Can’t go wrong with either of these. I’d go starbucks bc i prefer the non pcl look of the sub.
