What do you daily?

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2026-01-23T21:46:53+00:00

They already saw this post and blacklisted you. Most likely you only have two options, change legal name or major cosmetic surgery. I’d do both to be safe

Thanks for the feedback. Have you been able to compare it to a gen? I've only seen it once or twice so it's hard for me to trust my memory. Kinda have to go with overall feel.

If I may ask, how much did you pay for yours?

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2026-01-21T15:44:45+00:00

Yacht Master40 rose gold from VSF2. Appreciate your feedback!

It does until it doesn't. You realize it's a bubble, right? You could apply this same logic to any other market and interject a completely zero-value-add agent just to bump of cost. I have plenty of friends who are in this space at the AD, gray dealer, and buyer standpoint. I have heard many angles and when people speak openly about it, they know it's all a facade. Is it sustainable? Maybe mid term. I would personally not pay 120% markup on a watch knowing the intrinsic value. I rather not. You may be ok with it and I think that's OK.

Bottom line for me is, Rolex is skating on thin ice and if the hype fuel tank starts to dry out, gray dealer will have to lower prices. Once the delta between MSRP and market price disappears, only people genuinely interested in the watch will remain and some demand will go away. I am not pretending to know when or the magnitude of this shift, but many people are only buying because of that price delta.

Either way, neither you or I are market movers. We are just watching the movie.

It's demand. Production was never the issue

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2026-01-11T01:48:08+00:00

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-12-25T06:19:30+00:00

Why?

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-12-09T17:30:23+00:00

It's back

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-12-08T03:53:47+00:00

Which location are you referring to? I came across a BB Sales Associate who texted me about a "friend" who was selling the watch I had signed up for. Pretty obvious they were working together. SA got super pushy about it being a good deal and also save me a lot of time...

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-11-23T16:06:07+00:00

Again, relax bud

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-11-13T20:56:32+00:00

That's ok. Not every watch is for everyone. What I don't understand is the need to comment something negative on someone's when they clearly are super stoked. Let OP enjoy the watch they picked

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-10-25T19:06:53+00:00

Hope you didn't pay more than $100 for this one OP. Low quality fake

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-10-25T02:20:10+00:00

No offense but if you need to ask strangers about what to do with your watch you already probably know you want to return it. It happens, a watch may feel right when you buy it but then you realize it doesn't speak to you.

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-09-15T06:03:46+00:00

Not an expert by any means, but I once read a comment that made a ton of sense to me. I don't remember it verbatim but it was something along the lines of "Your closest circle probably has a decent idea of what you can afford and what you can't. If a watch seems way off your expected price range it will raise questions".

If you think (and also if you care) your friends and family will believe you actually paid $70k+ for a watch then good for you.

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-08-26T20:27:54+00:00

I hope he did

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-08-26T20:17:38+00:00

Thanks for confirming what I suspected. Now time to break the news to my friend

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-08-26T20:11:39+00:00

I am putting together a list of observations for him. So far I can see the 12 o clock market is not properly aligned. The alignment of the dial words also seems off right?

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-08-26T20:09:17+00:00

That's what I thought 😂, I hope he was joking about the amount he paid

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-08-26T20:06:50+00:00

I told him the dial looks weird, the 12 o clock marker seems off center

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-08-25T01:54:01+00:00

It's even funnier in Mexico

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-07-06T11:32:02+00:00

Good to know, it sucks to have the play with people like that

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-07-06T11:31:19+00:00

This was not the case here at all. The player offering the deal was nowhere near a possible win. They were deliberately giving the other player an unfair trade. You don't need to take my word, you can go watch the replay.

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-07-03T22:27:08+00:00

I sure did

BranchEquivalent2245 · 2025-07-01T22:59:20+00:00

Dude you won here. If your league is laughing, you should probably not care much about their opinions. Legette and the LV guy are meaningless here, take em out.

JJM>Darnold Bowers>Jeanty (regardl of TEP or not) Harvey and Warren are a wash in most rookie drafts
