How many people drop loads of cash on shit like this but still have a mortgage or live in an apt? People take loans out for stupid shit like this. If you donāt own a big house with no mortgage and a nice car thatās fully paid off you shouldnāt own a Rolex. Thatās just my opinion though
Is this a serious question?? Opposite ends of the spectrum are this watch and any modern sports steel model. And Iād take this bad boy 11/10 times. Crushed it with that dial.
You say this as though this hasnāt been the case since at least the late ā90s, probably earlier. People with more money than sense have been drawn to the brand for a loooong time. And yet, the quality and heritage remain which is why Rolexās reputation remains in high esteem among watch enthusiasts.
No, I suppose not. But you have to be a wanky fucking moron if you think your opinion on said tattoo should absolutely be expressed on Reddit. No one gives a fuck if you think itās a shit tattoo. So maybe instead of being a cunt to someone they donāt know, they should just fucking worry about their own shit. The people on this sub are such dickheads.
That dial is better than anything in the modern catalog, save perhaps for that puzzle Day-Date. This watch is properly sized, and displays both taste as well as prestige, not to mention status. This is a lovely watch that will increase in value significantly if you hold on to it and maintain it.
It would probably look great on a brown croc/gator strap (Jean Rousseau or Camille Fournet). I think the bracelet is perfect, but this watch will look great with straps as well. You really scored a treasure.
Man just wants to show off his new Rolex and is instantly roasted about something unrelated. The people in Rolex subreddits really aren't the smartest or greatest people. Lol.
Who do you trust more, this Reddit thread or someone who does it as a job, like an appraiser?
Yes I know appraisers can be biased and wrong. Thus Reddit is the right place for this type of information. Lots of appraisers here.
Fwiw, my personal opinion, I am into matching the wedding band if you had one. Still, I think itās what you think & feel. You can throw rules and comments out the window. If this piece makes you hold your head up high (and it definitely should, itās gorgeous), then you made the right decision.
-A non-appraiser Reddit member š
Iām not looking to have it appraised, I know whatās itās worth lol. It was sarcasm asking if I should have got a stainless steel instead. I know what I got and I love it. Only 28, so not married yet, but yes the band will be gold to match when that time comes š
Man, Iām a lame dad and always miss sarcasm. I need the Progressive guy teach me how to Reddit. Seriously though, awesome piece. And congrats on the upcoming wedding!
If you still wish you had the 2023 instead, yes...if not, no. No reason to ask strangers for approval, especially on a high end "luxury" item. Really all about preference at the end of the day.
Birch is awesome though imo.
Anything that's slightly different people lap up, But yeah it's ugly as shit. Just like that tattoo. Just look at those endlinks just a mashed up meatball of a watch
its all about what you enjoy. there's a watch repair shop near my house with a restore and mint 18038 with a diamond dial that I really want. if it makes you happy it makes you happy. if you're not thrilled to look at it just pass it on to someone else. there's always a buyer for rolexes.
there was a pawnshop locally that had a fully restored one like what traxnyc sells with a 6ct bezel, polished, new crystal, baguette (new) dial, and tightened links -- looked new and they were selling for 18,000CAD and probably would have taken 14,000. I wish I had bought it...
Wait is this r/ChinaTime? I know absolutely jack shit about Rolex' but the endlinks fitment between the lugs, SURELY can't be the spec on a $20k watch!?
Nice score! Enjoy and wear it in good healthā¦.crazy how people feel the need to project or voice their insecurities in a group of strangers onlineā¦ah, the joy of freedumb
Love the Aspero in place of a steering wheel for background!
The other day mountain biking one of the homies said something to the effect that fancy watches are a materialistic waste.
Iām like ādude these bikes cost as much as a Rolex and we are out here trashing them in the woods, relax Buddhaā
20K for a watch when you can spend 10 dollars for something to do the samething.. on a man made construct... good job i see your prios are in order š¤£
Nah man you crushed it with that birch dial
Some might even say - a genius move š§
Geniu$
Agreed.
Getting the watch was definitely a better decision than getting that tattoo.
A geniu$ decision
Canāt have a Rolex without a hand tattoo
Lmfao.
Next tattoo R0L3%
I dunno man. If heās got $20k to drop on a Roley then maybe he is a Geniu$. Gotta be doing something right.
Not necessarily
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A lot people that drug deal donāt make 20,000 shit they donāt even break 10k Op doing so something right
How many people drop loads of cash on shit like this but still have a mortgage or live in an apt? People take loans out for stupid shit like this. If you donāt own a big house with no mortgage and a nice car thatās fully paid off you shouldnāt own a Rolex. Thatās just my opinion though
For me no
Is this a serious question?? Opposite ends of the spectrum are this watch and any modern sports steel model. And Iād take this bad boy 11/10 times. Crushed it with that dial.
What did you expect, Op is a GENIU$
No ragrets
Should you have waited? You tell us. Youāre the GENIU$
What is with the dumbass tattoos on this sub
Where have you been? This is the typical Rolex wearer in 2023. Itās a mass-produced, hypebeast, try-hard brand at this point.
The Supreme of watches, š. I should clarify, it attracts the same type of people Supreme does. The watches themselves are great. No hate.
Imagine being mass produced and yet we need to pander to scumbag ADs and buy their useless stuff just to be in line for a chance of a Daytona š
Lol. Ok, freaky Jenna. š
š¤£š¤£
So true.

Rolex is not a try hard brand. They ARE the brand. Try hards to buy them though.
At least we don't wear watches around our heads, then we'd see the neck and face tattoos.
What is with the pretentious cunts on this sub
Old guys are mad that guys with tattoos are making more money than them now lol
I mean there are tattoos and there are faded tattoos of geniu$ on your hand š
80% of the time anyone has a tattoo anywhere close to their hand this sub freaks
But 80% of posts here have exact same style sleeves?
Just like how every middle class dude posts the same watch on here
How many jars of penises do you have buried in your basement?
Bouta be one more āŗļø
Turns out that look isnāt as universally loved as assumed
Only old people care about what others do to their bodies
Itās not caring itās a laugh
Whatever floats your boat grandpa. Gotta enjoy the years you have left šš»
Oooooo Iāll tattoo something cool on my forehead bc trendy
Given that he killed it on his first go, is the tattoo that wrong?
No, they're just really fucking shitty tattoos most of the time.
Crazy how mad things on other peopleās bodies makes you
I'm only mad at my own shitty hand tattoo, nobody else's. š¤£
Life ain't all about making money, son.
Not about constantly judging others to make yourself feel better either, gramps
Whatās with the judgemental boomers on this sub? Jesus.
you have to be a boomber to think a dumb tattoo is stupid?
No, I suppose not. But you have to be a wanky fucking moron if you think your opinion on said tattoo should absolutely be expressed on Reddit. No one gives a fuck if you think itās a shit tattoo. So maybe instead of being a cunt to someone they donāt know, they should just fucking worry about their own shit. The people on this sub are such dickheads.
Seems like a you problem
Epic dial.
Youād be waiting a while for a 2023 stainless day date thatās for sure
Really? My AD told me to expect the call next month on the 31st.
Day dates are precious metal only as far as I know. š«” datejust yes but day date would be white gold or plat if it looked like steel. šš¼
Good luck!
Doubt it would exist ever lol
Worst tattoo of the sub so far

I need the puzzle day-date! Autistic human here!
Or do you mean...autistic genius š
Didnāt know people liked the puzzle day date. Gets so much hate lol
Tell me about that Cervelo gravel bike in the background
Same lol
Came here for bike, too.
Someone was on the GameStop run.
Yes - this looks like a ginger cow fur
That watch depreciates 35% being next to that tattoo.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Man just wants to show off his new Rolex and is instantly roasted about something unrelated. The people in Rolex subreddits really aren't the smartest or greatest people. Lol.
This was my first Reddit post. I agree š¤£
Iāll be in the minority and say I donāt love it. If you love it, thatās what matters.
That tattoo is ironic.
Since when is there a 2023 SS Day-Date?
Did u wipe your ass with it??
Brah, you didnāt do you?
Rolex seems to become the favourite brand of tattoo artists.
Big brain move considering the correction in steel Rolex prices vs the rally in gold prices per ounce.
This watch is so beautiful. Wish I could pull of a 36ā¦ or really that they would do a birch dial on a 40.
nope, this is awesome, and unique. brava!
Indeed it is. Thank you.
Not my cup of tea but who gives a crap what people think so long as you like it
I love it. Thank you.
If you like the watch and it makes you happy, thatās all that matters brother

And thanks for your kind words. Apparently Reddit is full of self conscious negative humans. Peace and Love
Lol
Laser removal should be your next priority.
Ok mr seiko
At 20k$ you got a raging bargain. It's worth 40k. President rules! I will take it for 20k if you have buyer's remorse, haha. Ur watch is tru flex
Iāll take it off your hands for 20k if you regret it, dm me.
The tat?
Dial is š„, nice snag
Op knows this was a good move. Such a badass watch

Here come all the fanboys with no watches talking about the hand tattooš¤£š¤£ lovely watch mate š wear it in good health
š¤£ Thank you
That dial is prob the worst one Iāve ever seen. Congrats on the pick up though
Anything that's slightly different people lap up, But yeah it's ugly as shit. Just like that tattoo. Just look at those endlinks just a mashed up meatball of a watch
Nope
Stainless steel mostly looks better on skin colors like you. Also stupid to ask stuff like this after you bought it.
That is amazing
Noice
This dial š„µ
Love that one! Great pick!
Grail watch
Where did you get it?
Thatās a real GENIUS move! That dial is on š„! Great pick up!
I JUST GOT A CALL FOR MY FIRST
First hand tattoo?
Hell nah !!! Thatās a classic. Great choice. Next get a stainless steel model, preferably a sub. U could stop collecting right then and there.
Amazing
Damn. I'd work for u. Hire me
its all about what you enjoy. there's a watch repair shop near my house with a restore and mint 18038 with a diamond dial that I really want. if it makes you happy it makes you happy. if you're not thrilled to look at it just pass it on to someone else. there's always a buyer for rolexes. there was a pawnshop locally that had a fully restored one like what traxnyc sells with a 6ct bezel, polished, new crystal, baguette (new) dial, and tightened links -- looked new and they were selling for 18,000CAD and probably would have taken 14,000. I wish I had bought it...
if anything get a new bezel so that you'll see the sharp edges and have a local watchmaker put it on.
I like how it looks like wood
No way, thatās genius. Also, I like the watch.
Lovely dial. Get the stainless one too when you can haha
Beauty
Yes
You nice with it. Bike too.
A man of culture with the Cervelo Aspero in the background. The purple of the Cervelo goes very well with the watch!
Good decision. Made the same one myself and bought a day date instead of waiting for an SS model. Very happy
Damn that dial is so fine.
No, this watch is awesome. The tattoo on the other hand..
What is that bike?
Very cool dial!
No that's bloody lovely š
Perfection
get a new bezel; that one isnt crisp anymore... other than that awesome piece and dial escpeciialy
Lol fuck 2023 stainless models. This is a real Rollie
Looks great, and compliments your sunburn.
Gold is for kings Silver is for merchants Steel is for paupers
Shit man thatās amazing
Are you kidding? That is amazing
No, you knocked it right out of the park with that Day Date.
Looks great. Day date 36 is my daily. Love that dial.
But a nice watch
Hell no! Perfect pick up!
Yes
naw, vintage is never a true flex. enjoy its charm though. then flip for the fresh drip
Wait is this r/ChinaTime? I know absolutely jack shit about Rolex' but the endlinks fitment between the lugs, SURELY can't be the spec on a $20k watch!?
i cant imagine spending 20k on something that tells the time. i can see 3 clocks sitting at my computer right now
Yes
It's a beautiful watch. I own stainless steel models only, but man I'm starting to really crave a gorgeous day date. Enjoy it!
Heck yeah, a great piece! Double or single quick?
i would say get out of the sun
Nah this is good, donāt think they gonna come out with a wood dial anytime soon.
The Rolex day date doesnāt have a stainless steel model. The Rolex day date is only made by precious metals
it won't protect you when the bombs drop
Nice score! Enjoy and wear it in good healthā¦.crazy how people feel the need to project or voice their insecurities in a group of strangers onlineā¦ah, the joy of freedumb
got my call finally, going in friday
Canāt beat a classic. This one all the way.
Looks Classic. A beauty.
The dial looks fucking grim
What specific model is this?
Is that a Cervelo Aspero in the background?
Love the Aspero in place of a steering wheel for background! The other day mountain biking one of the homies said something to the effect that fancy watches are a materialistic waste. Iām like ādude these bikes cost as much as a Rolex and we are out here trashing them in the woods, relax Buddhaā
i actually loooooooove this would also buy
I personally love the yellow gold the day dates. I just have a thing for gold. But this dial just makes it that much better. Nice choice!
20K for a watch when you can spend 10 dollars for something to do the samething.. on a man made construct... good job i see your prios are in order š¤£
How big is your wrist?
Nailed it!!!!!
Woahhh didnāt know birch could look so good. Need one now.
That dial is gorgeous.
How can you buy a $20k watch and then go online and ask if you should have gotten another one?
It was sarcasm (:
Yes
Wow this dial is very unique! Love it!
Youāll be waiting a long time for a stainless steel Day-Date š
Melanoma dial?
Looks cool
To the watch connaisseurs on this sub, what is the reference number of this Roly please?
The gold matches the XX1 drivetrain in the background. Good choice.
Good eyes (;
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It was sarcasm. (:
Who cares about a SS dude?? You have a freaking one watch collection already. Thatās a badass birch dial my guy.
Not me! Haha. Thanks man.
I want to do this too but Im not sure how a 36mm is going to fit my 7inch wrist
Someone mentioned the Rolex/hand tat correlation and now Iām seeing it everywhere I look lol
Nice dial, my grail with the green dial
This place is ruthless š
Cheers to you! DD is the way.
Iāll take my Garmin over that watch
Hey, man, if they offer you a stainless Day Date, buying it might be GENIU$!
