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

Wahhh nak Jual Tak

I want to buy Rolex brother Tudor 58. But sadly too huge for my tiny wrists.

Date just no need queue one ts

And the discount in ad for datejust is high enough, to not make a person buy a used one

SA contact still got ah?
41 mostly available in half gold or half rose gold.. can find though but not those enter one outlet terus have that type.. need to a few

A snowflake is RM15k? You must have found a pretty good deal. I think it retails close to 6k USD.

Yups, very limited quantities. After discounts can get closer to 19-20k.

I do think the mini snowflake is a great deal too. A little disappointing on the movement front but eh, hard to complain tbh. The new gen are the slim ones right?

At the 5k area, I think another sweet spot are the enamel ones. I keep hesitating on pulling the trigger on those, no idea why.

sales advisor/assistant or something I guess?

i remember my friend bought batman around 30-40k few years ago, and now he said it is worth about 60k now

Got a "priceless" black/gold 16613 Submariner as my wedding gift from my mom. It was my late dad's. He bought it for RM14k back in 1998. Will never sell it and will pass it on to my kids in the future as well. Wonder how much is it worth now?

Book a flight to switzerland or japan and you should be able to get some off at retail but choices will definitely be quite limited . Rolex will appreciate in value over time, provided if you wear it once a year better yet never, and keep everything that comes with the box   (that's what most luxury watch collectors do)

saw a few black GMT master at about RM35K~ , submariner date at about RM46K~ and a deep sea dweller at RM48K~ at a departmental shop in shinjuku. Ready stocks

Mind to elaborate the level of rolex watch?
Why sold it?

cuz it's not the normal 116610, it's the 116613LN

For peasant like me i don't know how to judge on watch, for my friend who has collection, they able to differentiate the value of watch.

For banker they judge people not by car, normally by watch, if u person wearing richard mille and they immediately know it is potential customer.

Define worth?

If you like it, get it. DJ's are dime a dozen, I like their classiness but ain't a fan of a 41mm for a dressy piece. The 38mm seems a better fit.

Movement wise, you get a rolex movement.

Value wise, most people will knw u wear lolex.

I'd rather spend it on a Exp1 tho.

mcb, 27k ... its retailing 24 bro 

You let me test first.. It's either Exp1 or the polar exp2.

Exp1 is around 24k now.

Airking I cannot stomach.

Thats why ask u let me test 

If I find a 36mm exp1, I'd probably cop.
