Re: Rolexes, a couple
Out of all the Rolex watches, yeah, the Sub is probably the most popular. A two tone gold/blue was my first one, but quickly realized you just cant wear that one daily...or at least I couldnt. So I got a stainless/black next. Its on the wrist as I type and resides there pretty much every day for the last 10 yrs or so. Still could almost pass for new (some small scuffs on the band would give it away). I finally got the GMT for my 3rd one, black/gold.
IF you are going to get one, get it ASAP as they just dont get cheaper. Luckily I got all of mine years ago and got the two tones for less than a stainless goes for today. Really got a deal on my wife's 2 tone!! And yeah, if someone has a Rolex the odds are its a SS sub as its probably the most popular one and probably the least costly too. If you really like the GMT, get it, but I would suggest that its the one you REALLY want and not base it on what everyone and their brother might have (in reality, very few folks sport Rolexes...for good reason, the frickin cost!). Oh, and yeah, you are going to about be sick in your stomach when you drop the coin on it, but after a day or so, thats all gone. Been there, done that, 4 times. Besides, I drop more on guns and dont seem to even blink at that! Go figure.
If you want one, buy one, you can always sell it later for more than you paid for it....been that way as long as I have dealt with them.
