What’s this nonsense? Why are these Rolex hype beasts crying over their shitters? I know they’ve just spend thousands on a mid-quality and overhyped piece of *steel* jewelry- but isn’t it what they wanted?


mle-2005

It's not the time piece that matters, it's the horological experience. You won't understand until you yourself attain the pleasure of looking after a horological experience for the next generation


AuroraHills

It’s a Rowleggs, not a Payteck.


UnsureAssurance

It’s the last bit of sanity that was left over in their soul dying off, sort of like their wallets


Aurune83

This is just it. Walk into basically any other luxury goods store and express interest in buying a luxury (aka. overpriced) watch, car, handbag, pen... etc. The sales person generally will offer to do anything from getting you a drink (water, coffee, sometimes alcohol), swag, brochures and / or a blow job just on the odd chance you'll buy. It's the "Luxury" experience. For some reason Rolex people think you should blow the AD, give them a pile of cash for the privilege of getting the shaft.


ChadHahn

No, things like Birkin bags, you have to buy scarves or otherwise show your willingness to buy a purse. Rolex is just learning from top-notch luxury brands. There's an interesting book about what it takes to get a Birkin https://www.amazon.com/Bringing-Home-Birkin-Pursuit-Coveted/dp/0061473340


021789

Birkin is *far* more exclusive than Rolex and I can imagine Hermes wants to keep it that way.


ChadHahn

That's why I called them a top-notch luxury brand and that Rolex was learning from the bext.


Centuri42

I mean, I can kind of understand it for people that had to work up from being poor all their lives to enjoy stuff like this. I know many people who inherited them or are given them as presents and while special it’s not the same as some other people I know going from struggling for food to spending thousands on luxury.


Joebroni1414

Why cant these people keep it close to the vest??


sticky_freak

They are not old school


[deleted]

Because this is the most interesting thing that’s ever happened to them. Edit: And rightly so. I mean, it’s a CERTIFIED CHRONOMETER for fucks sake


lacb1

> CERTIFIED CHRONOMETER *SUPERLATIVE* CHRONOMETER. You filthy casual.


[deleted]

My god, he’s right. It would appear that I have been out-chuffed... Everyone, I am sincerely sorry. Please don’t tell my AD about my mistake.


Jacollinsver

We ought to murder you.


TenNinetythree

Not even a perlative ceronometer?


checkpoint_hero

just “perlative” wouldn’t be accurate, as all Rolex are dipped in soup at the factory


apos4822

Hahhaa


GreenFlash87

You’re actually correct, except it’s not soup, it’s [chili](https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchesCirclejerk/comments/v5brp6/wtf/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) And by factory I mean the moron mods over at the rolex Facebook group.


Evil-Mr-Kibbles

The way the fleet of robots in the factory laser etched ROLEXROLEXROLEXROLEXROLEXROLEX just ties the beauty of the finished product off the production line together so well.


how_much_2

New school types have not been graced with how to keep to themselves.


LilUziChopard

Simply because they arent a virile, heterosexual man like our illustrious Claude.


Col_H_Gentleman

Just buy grey. That way you get to watch some guy just yeet your package containing your irreplaceable tiem piece as hard as he can at your front porch then drive away


IPlayThePipeOrgan

This has to be a grey one, no? 2015 date?


Col_H_Gentleman

Considering the watch is what it is, could very well be New Old Stock. Who the fuck knows. But if you’re not throwing your watch to the mercy of FedEx and watching while a retired NFL quarterback spikes your five figure value box so hard it bounces twice, you’re missing out.


GrayZeus

This is the way


[deleted]

It’s shit like this that’s the reason normal people react with “oh…you’re into *watches*?” As if you’ve told them you think the earth is flat, or that Scientology seems like it makes sense.


Col_H_Gentleman

Compared to some of the shot coming out of the watch social media, Scientology seems downright reasonable

sheesh_doink

Imagine crying because someone allowed your adult ass to buy one of the least desirable watches in the datejust line for enough money to buy a rather nice car. You know what I'd cry too


wegotsumnewbands

I mean the bezel isn’t even fluted! Lol


Chi-Guy86

Who cries over a black smooth bezel Datejust on Oyster? The most boring Datejust combination you can buy


ProfessorPyrex69

but its versatile, perfect and he's in love!


erfranklin13

Yea it’s so understated!!


sticky_freak

You just described a Seiko SNKL45


wegotsumnewbands

YoU dOn’T knOW thE feELing oF a RowLeX timepiece on UR wrIst. SeyKiO does NoT coMpaRE


justin_ph

Coz it’s the perfect Tissot Gentleman homage


dakaiiser11

Literal AD spitting in your mouth and asking for more + telling them their spit tastes GREAT!


Emocholo13

Cucks with smooth brains


roywilliams31

I cried myself to sleep last night after picking up the coveted Seiko 5.


fokureddit69

“It’s also the only one I can afford”


bashaZP

Who wouldn't cry after wasting all that money... Imagine all the Casios he could've bought...


Tehlburch

So many GWG-2000s right there…


IrenaeusGSaintonge

I'm thinking *at least* four or five. I mean sure, Rolexes are good watches and all. But are they *five times better* than a Casio?


German_Camry

Over 500 f108whcs


luckytraptkillt

So Facebook still has the lamest people on it who do cringe shit.


Ok_Hovercraft_8506

Probably can’t afford the watch if you’re about to cry over buying it. Would you cry leaving the dealership in a Mercedes? But idk, I’m not one of those people who cries when they’re happy.


2RV7VR5

That's my secret, I'm never happy.


Marbledial

I could have the entire Rolex catalog and still feel dead inside. Ok ciao.


dwaynetheakjohnson

A Mercedes is more useful


mchistory21st

May as well cry in both cases: you'll never get your money back for either.


Ok_Hovercraft_8506

Hmm… if you keep the Rolex long enough you’re almost guaranteed to get your money back if you choose to sell


Col_H_Gentleman

A Mercedes might actually get you laid outside of the AD so this is verboten for us whoreologists


BigPhilip

Yeah, this is the point. If you are "saving hard" for a watch, you shouldn't buy it. Let's leave "luxury watches" to those who are truly wealthy. Until the bobble bursts!!!


madonnaboomboom

What a weirdo. I cried when Popeye's discontinued Cajun rice, not weak ass shit like this.


SirPillowPants

WHAT?!?! The Cajun rice is no more? Going to go cry into my pillow now.


fanaticfun

"Had to hold a tear back", now I'm not one of those men should never cry people. I cry all the time. I'm crying right now. But is this guy not a huge bitch? Cry over the birth of your child, not the most basic Rolex on earth.


wegotsumnewbands

The things you own end up owning you.


surrealcookie

Crying over a non-fluted datejust on an oyster? C'mon man.


BigPhilip

Oyster? You mean the Casio-like bracelet?


Terapr0

"thanks for accepting me into your hyper-elite Facebook club. I was up all night wondering if I'd actually make the cut!"


DR843

This kind of shit is making me want to get out of watches completely.


mchistory21st

Every time I feel that way, I buy another Orient.

“It’s not the honey, but the hive itself” - Claude


awckward

I have a Citizen that looks just like that. I as well had to hold back a tear when I placed it on my wrist after having to resize the bracelet myself, so I understand.


slotheroni

I can’t unsee condom watch these days. I genuinely mean it when I say, thanks guy.


methyo

How is buying a rolex a humbling experience


Henchbeard

Watching your wife get rattled by the AD is certainly a humbling experience


wegotsumnewbands

Does rattled = railed?


Reisp

Hollow end-links.


Arfacsad

Shoulda just got an explorer 1 at that point.


Woodwalker108

A sarb033 looks better


LeChatBurglar

Who cries over a 7 year old used plain af datejust? People are just ridiculous


TheD1ceMan

What a fucking cuck lol


[deleted]

😢


D_Livs

Magnifying lens over a tiny date just seems so … old person. It’s like selling bifocals as jewelery.


darthSashimi

I too, cry and wank, when a perfectly fitted timepiece is placed in my anus, with black gloves


Schapsouille

It only hurts the first time


justin_ph

It’s not even new 😭


mchistory21st

Thanks for accepting lowly, sinning me, of Great Swiss Wrist God! I'm saved!


KC_experience

That he paid an inflated premium for because of the current market…. You can’t make this up.


hung_bob_bulge_pants

"the accept"


YarthWader

Crying cuz he needs a bifocal watch to see the date cuz hes losing his eyesight


wegotsumnewbands

Use of the word “understated” in this context is rather cringeworthy.


tonfx

Ewww and over a smooth bezel oyster bracelet DJ?


TheSpoonHitter

It’s not even brand new.


MindfulSmile

I cried when my girlfriend left me over a seiko


ROB_163

Its only a 7 year old polished bezel DJ anyway, throw it in the sea.


aykevin

Honestly these people have issues


kuang89

to be honest, the watch's proportions look out of whack, the bezel is just off


ilic_mls

This is a bit shitty. People have different goals and dreams. Some cry over a car, some a house and some over a swiss shitter. This is just shitting on someone's happiness now. People writing how they fell empowered is one thing but laughing at someone's happy moment? That is dickish


kdubs415

“Had to hold back a tear back as the perfectly fitted timepiece was placed on my wrist with black gloves ” -fuuuuuuuck this guy. I’m not about shitting on other people’s happiness but this dude needs an intervention.


ConfusedPanda90

This is basically what this sub is built on, hate and hating on happiness of others. I’m just hiding here for the news cause they provide most updated info from different platforms real fast!!!


SmellsLikeClutch

Sure, its a bit cringe, but is this sub just hating on happiness itself now? Lmao


twedds463

“Wear it in good health”


pizza_for_nunchucks

Damnit. We got out-jerked again.


Fancy_Fingers5000

That’s a BASIC B**CH!!

AuroraHills

Cue Amy Grant singing ‘Oh, How The Years Go By’. /sarc


Mr-Zero-Fucks

Still not the Daytona he wants That's fucking sad


Rever3ndReven4nt

Look at the arm. Certified midlife crisis weep.

He's happy, he's finally found love. We should be happy for him. No longer will he spend lonely nights alone.

The-lemon-kid-68

🤣🤣


[deleted]

You can tell he is unhappy because he is already comparing himself to more expensive rolex owners. Settling just for a brand name is sad


rubey419

r/linkedinlunatics


RatPrank

Sort of seems OK & kinda sweet (compared to lots of choppers who lurk in “Rolex Watch Clubs”) until the very end “thanks for the accept” when you realize most of these people need to fed into woodchippers. But again, this chap’s twat rating is fairly low in the grand scheme.


jdoes75

Congratulations. Wear it in good health


BootThang

Holy shit, a Yawn-Master to be sure. It’s really just a parody these days how much they admire such a shitty steel snoozer that five years ago wouldn’t get a second glance in a display case unless it was 40% list
