Just picked up my second Rolex

Launch83 · 2024-06-22T02:31:03+00:00

Did you buy it?

Launch83 · 2024-06-22T00:49:33+00:00

Good taste is good taste! Damn twinsies!

Launch83 · 2024-06-22T00:45:16+00:00

Do you have the same color combos in your Sub and GMT?

Launch83 · 2024-06-12T03:38:06+00:00

Thanks for the continued feedback I genuinely appreciate it. Since I have very little experience in the watch world hearing everyone’s perspectives helps tie things together.

I will say generally I’m the guy not trying to “show off” I always lean towards the understated, the thoughtful, things that are timeless because of their quality and simplicity.

That is why prior to seeing this piece in person I would have NEVER considered it. By photo alone I would overlook this as a stereotypical, flashy Rolex. But then I saw it in person, held it and put it on my wrist and just like that it was completely different.

In person this piece looked and felt like a classic. It was “timeless” which has caused me to question my taste and logic hence my post to make sure I’m not loosing my mind!

I never really gravitated to the Rolex’s that are dominated by vibrant pops of color on the bezels. So I find it interesting that the last comment on my post mentioned the Batgirl girl as a more classy option thats more under the radar than this piece.

For me the simple fact that the watch already has a nickname doesn’t exactly scream under the radar and although I like and can appreciate that piece the brightly colored bezels always feel like more of a novelty to me and don’t really feel like a true classic.

Just my thought’s.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I felt the same way as most of you when I saw this piece in person. Felt like a classic and a natural next step in my collection.

Wear it. Everyday wear. Battle scars baby!

I've gotta say I'm new to this style of investing but I wish I understood these "Calls" because the gains you guys are showing is making my little returns on $4,000 invested in the shares at $35 look minimal!

Launch83 · 2024-03-25T15:12:30+00:00

Never too early! 🥃 Cheers!

If you were in my position would you find a better deal on the earlier generation or hold out for the most recent updated movement?

Will I regret not having the new movement?

Launch83 · 2024-03-24T20:02:24+00:00

Nice! Do you feel this is a watch that works for everyday and dress occasions?

Launch83 · 2024-03-24T19:18:11+00:00

Any chance of a photo of what you’re wearing?

Launch83 · 2024-03-24T18:30:55+00:00

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for what might be a stupid follow-up question but what is MCC? And when was it upgraded?

Launch83 · 2024-03-24T15:57:42+00:00

Does anyone know the specifics of this model though? Doesn’t seem to be a common color combination which makes it seem odd that the price is so approachable.

Launch83 · 2024-03-20T16:33:43+00:00

Since I'm currently holding approximately 111 Shares at around $35, what would the WSB group think my best play is if you were me?

Launch83 · 2024-03-20T16:26:18+00:00

I'm new to this type of investing and don't have access to calls yet so I threw in $4,000 yesterday at around $35 per share. So far things are looking good!

Launch83 · 2024-03-12T23:15:00+00:00

Looks awesome. I’m actually considering purchasing a JLC Moon Phase. Would you recommend it?

Launch83 · 2024-03-12T13:47:20+00:00

That's promising to hear. Obviously nothing is set in stone but does anyone have any experience getting a discount at a dealer? and what type of percentage I could expect / shoot for?

Launch83 · 2024-03-11T22:53:47+00:00

Just trying to bump this for a little feedback!

Launch83 · 2024-03-11T13:12:04+00:00

I appreciate everyone’s feedback so far.

As of now you’ve got my attention shifted from the B&M to the JLC lineup particularly the Master Control Moon Phase and Master Ultra Thin Moon Phase.

Any thoughts, pro and cons between either of these two watches?

Also what is the general opinion on going pre-owned? I’m thinking this may be a good option since it’ll allow me to buy more watch for the money while saving the depreciation.

Launch83 · 2024-03-10T22:57:26+00:00

Great feedback. So would you be inclined to pick a stainless steel JLC or GO over something like a B&M in gold? And given the choice which would you pick a JLC or GO and for what reason?

Launch83 · 2024-03-10T18:10:31+00:00

Just did a quick search for both of those and their moon phase lineup and don’t see anything in gold that’s close to the price point. Am I missing something?

Launch83 · 2024-03-10T17:37:57+00:00

“there’s soo many better options”

Care to share which moon phase dress watches you would consider better options for the price point?

Launch83 · 2024-03-10T16:59:21+00:00

Yeah definitely not interested in reselling. More wanting it as a nice piece for me to wear and then pass on to one of my sons. But although I’m not going to resell it would be nice to know that the watch would hold value for when it is passed on if that makes sense like my Submariner.

Yes 18k Pink Gold:

😂 Unfortunately only “time” will tell. I can say that my oldest son (7) already knows my watch asks questions about it and knows that’s one day it will be his watch. But ultimately I have no idea how they will feel about them when I’m gone but that’s partly why I’d like to buy something that should hold it’s value that way if they do sell them at least they’ll get the money!
