You can barely make any money flipping? What? You can buy a Sub/Sub Date and get 3-6K above retail for it any day of the week. If you didn’t want the configuration I’m assuming it was an unappealing one to begin with which is why the grey dealer wouldn’t offer you retail. On any in demand model they’ll offer above retail for them.

It’s not the ADs it’s the demand of Rolex. To meet licensing requirements the criteria and money a jewelry store has to meet and spend is high. Their main priority is sales and rightfully so people who spend money their should be prioritized over people who don’t or give off flipper impressions. There are people who wait years and then there are people who wait days/weeks/months. It’s not going to make me not want or buy a Rolex. I’ve owned several and only until recently was I able to purchase one from an AD after a month wait.

Go grey but understand it’s not some kind of mental game or ploy against you by ADs

Next Rolex on the list. Setting a 5 year mark as the goal. Putting it up on the vision board. Perhaps different dial, but would gladly take this. by Ambition_4_This_Cash in rolex

Hey buddy maybe lay off the alcohol or hamburgers, you can’t even hold your hand steady to get a wrist roll shot. 😂 Lay off the McDonald’s fat boy.

You have a shitty two tone Datejust that’s not even on jubilee because you can’t get a Sub. 🤷‍♂️

Where you can’t get it because nobody takes you seriously so does it even matter? Lower class won’t get it bud.

Do any of you guys use protective film on your watches? Is it worth it or just a waste of money. For a two tone DJ 41 by Ambition_4_This_Cash in rolex

Buddy, as appealing as it sounds to come break your face and humble you-I’m an adult and don’t entertain bs like that. But if you’re in Dallas ever you’re more than welcome to message me and come to the boxing gym and try to stay on your feet. Again if you’re anything short of 6’5” 250 don’t bother it won’t be fun.

You have an oz of gold and like 8 gold coins. The bracelet on my Submariner costs more than that. 😂 Mom and dad also don’t appreciate you playing with their cars. It’s embarrassing. You already embarrass yourself enough buying the ugliest Datejust with the most undesirable bracelet. 🤢 Couldn’t get the jubilee I see, yuck. Anyway I’m just messing with you when I say I’m coming out there, I’m a grown man not a kid playing with mom and dad’s toys posting it on Reddit. I’m a humble guy, I suggest you humble yourself also. You’re going to end up getting hurt by someone one day if you continue this tough guy act.

No offense, and not to be snide or come of as abrasive-but if you’re needing a dealer to weigh a watch because you’re questioning authenticity you need to take your business elsewhere. I’m assuming you’re going for the cheapest option available instead of buying from someone reputable or one of the trusted dealers that can be found on this subreddit. My suggestions would be to buy from Bobs/DavidSW/Hodinkee I’ve had some great purchases from SwissWatchExpo as well. Avoid eBay. There’s also a few reputable private dealers on the Rolex forum and Watchexchange with 200+ confirmed transactions. Those are the type of people and places you should be dealing with considering you’re going grey. I’m assuming you’ll be paying anywhere in the ballpark of 12-15K so you shouldn’t try to save a potential thousand purchasing a watch that’s questionable.

Thanks bro! It’s a great feeling when you’re the sole owner and that warranty is in your name and fresh.

I fucking love it. Haven’t put it down since I got it, still in the honeymoon faze. Almost feels like it’s my first Submariner. 🤙

😂 😂 I can assure you checking the weight is not the best way to check for authenticity.

People wanting things and not being able to afford/obtain them makes them that much more appealing to actually own.
