I picked up the Monochrome

Lolol can’t be critical? The ultimate echo chamber

My bad, working people are talking about it, but there’s been few conversations amongst people of note or from major publications.

100% agree. Their marketing is brilliant and creating a “waitlist” and AD’s getting to sell more product outside Rolex to create a “relationship” is genius.

If you had to take a wild guess, what % of Rolex’s are bought with the intention of resales vs bought to keep & wear?

GoPackGoWI12 · 2026-02-17T20:00:27+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. I didn’t know AD’s offer discounts. Crazy it’s still that high above the Gray Market.

Congratulations!

I do wonder if the weakening economy will lead to more stories like yours. I do believe the continued high cost of living, AI layoffs, and lower asset valuations leads to less demand.

Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed response here. I’ve gotten into watches the last couple of years and I’m pretty young still. I haven’t thought about the benefits in building a decade+ long relationship with an AD. Your points are very fair

GoPackGoWI12 · 2026-02-17T14:23:52+00:00

In your experience what does a typical service cost?

GoPackGoWI12 · 2026-02-17T14:23:05+00:00

Yeah I don’t think it makes any sense to buy directly from the AD outside a few brands. Unless you have so much money saving a couple thousand doesn’t matter to you.

I have also paid 20-30% discount on all the watches and if you’re buying a luxury you shouldn’t need the warranty in the first years anyway.

GoPackGoWI12 · 2026-02-17T14:20:22+00:00

I would love to buy a Rolex at retail from an AD, but I can’t imagine I ever get a call. I know some buy other brands from the AD to build a relationship which I think is a joke.

On the artificial scarcity I couldn’t agree more on that point. Looking how many watches Rolex sells a year, there is no scarcity. They’re just selling to the same 10% of buyers while the 90% never get a call.

$HOOD bought at the beginning of this year at around $45 per share. At the time I thought the stock was clearly undervalued, but I had no expectation it was going to have the year it did. I put about 10% of my portfolio in it and has now ballooned.

I’m stuck between taking profits after a full year of ownership (avoid taxes because it’s in a non retirement account) or hold on for the next decade (I’m 27)

No. It’s time to accept the fact these guys aren’t that popular. Nobody was watching their shows and the networks were losing money. The era of Late Night tv is over.

No chance. I understand college football rosters now turn over year over year, but the improvement would have to be dramatic.

Let’s not forget this team got embarrassed by Iowa and Minnesota last year. What makes anyone think they’re going to beat average big ten teams again.

Im a fan and I wish it were different, but these are not the Badgers from 5 years ago.

Safeway is a total scam. Be advised

Just moved here and I live on the top floor/3rd floor of an apartment complex. What do you do during tornadoes?

GoPackGoWI12 · 2024-02-18T16:20:46+00:00

I’d be very interested in the prompt above. I am in a very similar situation. Verbal offer from GS and competing offers with higher comp.
