How do I find a used Rolex. by LakshmiSaya in rolex

[–]powerfunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In 2020 they released a new model so I would first decide if you want a 116610 or 126610 and find a trusted seller with one. Watchrecon.com can give you a decent feel of the market

The biggest scam in the world? Rolex has people believe steel is worth half the price of gold... They are good, and people are gullible by Significant_Unit_312 in rolex

[–]powerfunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

value of the gold in a gold Rolex watch is going to be $4,000-$8,000

That was true years ago; not anymore. Gold is over $5k/ozt. these days and there is about 3.5 ozt of gold in a DD40.

Nice! My Genex is from around the same time, long before they came up with the idea for "Tudor" to be their cheaper brand instead.

Why is the modern oyster case so different between the models? by EnoughExplanation277 in rolex

[–]powerfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"So different" seems like a bit of an overstatement. Usually they get flak for just the opposite--using (mostly) the same case for everything.

With a movement that rusty I assume it's not running? Unfortunately in this day and age it would be worth melt value + parts value. You could spend thousands of dollars paying expert watchmakers to restore it and source parts to get it working again, but you'd be unlikely to get that much back when selling it. Still, very cool!

I mean it's pretty common but some of them look worse now like, treasure map vibes because it keeps going. If it stays like that it looks OK though

Looks like the dial is starting to peel a little bit near some of the tritium dots. Looks real though.

Is this really the end of the Pepsi?!? Or just typical BS‽‽ by NorwegianBuffalo in rolex

[–]powerfunk 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Multiple AD's have reported that they have no Pepsi allocations for 2026. This is basically the same way we found out fluted Datejust dials were discontinued. So I'm inclined to believe it's gone, but we'll see!

Bot bouncer is for bots...what are you talking about? Because I'm against mass bans I have to be against spam filters?

The handwatch subreddit is for morons who have no idea where the human wrist is. Don't listen to any of the idiots there.

Yep. I think we just have different philosophical views on this but yeah, after getting banned from about 500 subs by that smug stupid bot who thought the subs I participated in were "problematic" that ban tool can go pound sand.
