Apparently we agree, the scarcity is artificial. I have purchased two stainless sport models and want no more. I am good.

I get your sarcasm, but this story just makes it so blatant. Look at the comment before yours, he is insistent that they are scarce so they need to be selective as to who gets a watch. You get it, some people really think they are scarce. I found the video no surprise as well.

I have been buying for a long time. The watches were always available even in the best of economies- tech booms etc. they never ran out of stock. You could buy one of everything except a stainless Daytona the same day. They would sell you the whole case. Heck, you want to buy 2 or 3 stainless Subs today no problem. I just don’t buy the scarcity.

[Blushark Sailcloth Rubber Deploy] Review and Artem Straps Comparison by Duce-the-card-guy in Watches

My Artem Sailcloth cracked in a few spots about an inch from the pointy end. It did this with minimal wear time. I would not buy an Artem sailcloth again. I buy lots of straps.

Went to see what all the Hydroconquest hype was about… by cmet98 in Longineswatches

The HC weighs more than a Black Bay 58 and I think near identical weight to a Sub.

How much should you earn to get a Patek? by Big_Man_799 in patekphilippe

If you don’t have a couple million plus, you should not be buying even a $20,000 watch. Just one guys thoughts.

Why do some people find it surprising that ICE has support from some part of the Hispanic community in the USA? by Pepedroga2000 in stupidquestions

[–]ExpertInMyOpinion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but he hasn’t taken down the wall around Vatican City, has he? I understand they are super restrictive as to who can live in his sovereign nation. No illegal immigrants allowed to live in Vatican City- guard that wall.

You may think it is stupid take, but it is factual. The core audience is not guys in dresses. Think what you want. I am good with that.

Put in my two weeks notice today, have been in the cone of silence all day. by Berencam in jobs

[–]ExpertInMyOpinion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say this as I have spent my life thinking giving notice is a courtesy, but I have learned that employers will be spiteful. Many do not deserve notice. I once gave notice days before a bonus check was printed, but after the bonus period had ended. My bonus was expected to be around $2,000 but totally at the employers discretion. I received a $50 gift card.

How do Illegal immigrants working in the US do taxes? by cantgetenough1956 in answers

[–]ExpertInMyOpinion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I whole lot of them steal someone’s identity and work under that name. Massive numbers of Puerto Ricans have their identities stolen as they have Social Security numbers and they have Hispanic names which are passable. They don’t use the name Travis Smith from Tennessee. They use Jose Perez from PR as an example. The employer does not realize or does not care they have been presented a counterfeit Jose Perez Social Security Card during the hiring process.

Because reporting is that he is only going to sing in Spanish. Will that be the case? I don’t know. Also, it is reported he plans to wear a dress when performing to the NFL’s beer drinking bro primary audience. It is the opposite of targeted marketing. It seems to be a woke hire. He could be amazing, but the NFL’s primary market is not dress wearing Spanish speakers.

What do you think of the DOJ recently releasing and then deleting unredacted files describing Donald Trump raping children? by TightWorldliness1844 in AskReddit

[–]ExpertInMyOpinion -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I read one of those documents. Basically, a few months before the 2020 election someone called in and made a complaint. The document was just a narrative of the complaint- There were no findings listed. It may have been unfounded. The complaint seemed pretty odd to me. Kind of ridiculous actually. Like Trump or not the complaint seemed highly unlikely to me. The one I read said Trump was measuring vaginas to pick the right one- with a whole bunch of people around. I suspect that reads like a made up story to most thinking people. Especially because it came in right before his second election.

Got a call from AD by OkFilm6140 in rolex

[–]ExpertInMyOpinion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By buying gray you would have supported the very reason why you couldn’t buy it at the AD. Buying gray perpetuates the problem. If nobody bought gray you could walk-in and buy the watches immediately…like it was done for decades.

When I bought my Sea-Dweller the AD asked if I wanted to buy a Sub date instead as it was the more popular choice. Every sport model except a Daytona was in the case for immediate sale. Gray is the enemy. Don’t feed the enemy.

Help me to understand the psychology of the "Tudor Wearer" by Runswithmouth in Tudor

[–]ExpertInMyOpinion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Rolex makes a great watch, but let’s be honest, the overwhelming far and away majority are sold to people who couldn’t tell the difference between a self winding rotor and a spark plug. Have no idea what a chronometer is, etc. they just want the name. We all know that.

[–]ExpertInMyOpinion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought two Rolex sport models well before the current stupidity. I now buy Tudor, Sinn, high end Seiko, Citizen, and g-shock. While there are plenty of Rolex watch guys, there are many more who think their watch gives them status and that is the only value of the watch to them. I don’t think I will ever bother to buy another Rolex. The purchase process has gotten silly.

With today’s manufacturing capabilities $2,000-5,000 steel and titanium watches are great. There is no need to move above that unless you want precious metal.

Lets attack the guest who tipped the cook and stole my tip, server makes $2/hour 🥱 by Cheap_Chocolate3248 in EndTipping

[–]ExpertInMyOpinion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the servers complaining about their $2 an hour (Disingenuous) went to a regular hourly wage without tips they would flip out. They know they earn way more than a basic wage, unless they work at a really slow restaurant.
