Chances are I won't be wearing it often

I'm planning to buy it in hopes it'll appreciate / pass down to the next gen

I might post on my insta once though cause well I'm human

I was interested in Seikos like really really into it , 5s , Samurais , Divers , Tuna etc etc

but I lost interest since they lack the heritage / poor resale.

I don't really care about how it looks tbh

Was it ever worth the price?

Any luxury watches in fact , Maurice , Jaegar , IWC etc

I'm from a somewhat modest , middle income family hence I was never really exposed to luxury goods, and I'm never to keen on them.

When it comes to personal spending I've always been frugal. Buying 2nd hand stuff , eating food on a budget ( though I eat a lot since I do train upwards of 5x/week).
I don't drink nor have a nightlife... Since I never see them as a good investment of time and money
Lately my business is doing somewhat decent. And I'm able to save a decent amount of money a month. Last year I was able to get myself a 2nd hand car. Which I'm really proud of.
And lately I've been looking into luxury watches , partly cause I was exposed to my client's collection of watches which well ... isn't good

I'm thinking of getting a Rolex for my 25th Bday , which is next year.
I don't wear watches so my main idea of getting a Rolex is

1. Hopefully it appreciates or at least retains 80% of it's value over the course of 10+ years

2. Pass down to my children

3. Add a little swag ... I guess?

I'm thinking of a moderately priced 2nd hand Rolex say a Datejust from WingWah , apparently I can't get a brand new Rolex as the waiting list is 3 freaking years.

So what do you guys think.

Would a Rolex be a good ( or at least decent ) use of money?

Submariner....not only holds value, appreciated 10k in past 5 years

I think Grand Seiko is severely underrated. Most models are cheaper than a Sub yet very high quality. Downside is they don't retain value as well as a Rolex.

buy first, think later
after bought u will know how you want to manage it

Ya TS should just buy Baby G watches!

Paid your income tax? Coz the moment you buy it, inland revenue is going to be all over your ass, you know that right?

People don't understand he wants to reward himself and that's perfectly fine with a luxury novelty.
My 2 cents datejust is kinda uncle but is probably more flexible for dressing up and down
Maybe explorer 1 also can which should be in price range
On the other hand can also look beyond Rolex, as ppl always say when deciding watches , buy the watch that you want not what reviews say or if it holds value.
