background: rolex isn't like other watch brands. you don't just go into a store, tell them what you want and they sell it to you. you need to know the dealer, probably buy other expensive watches from them and if they like you they'll put you on a waitlist. then a few months to a year later, they'll give you a call and you can buy a watch from them. because of this exclusivity, rolex is actually worth more than the retail price on the second hand market
today: so i called up my local rolex dealer. i told them the model i wanted rolex: sorry, the waitlist for that particular model is extremely long me: how long would it take for me to get one? rolex: it would be a minimum of a year, maybe up to 2 (so they're saying they have to put me on a waitlist and in 2 years i'll have the pleasure of paying them $6,000 for a watch) me: ok that's fine, can you put me on the waitlist? rolex: (sighs) im with a customer right now, why dont you give me a call back later and i'll get your info to add you to the list *immediately hangs up before i even respond* ._. --- ...

My old Rolex and watch dealer had a store with a security cage. It was a bit like the store in Uncut Gems, but with a steel cage instead of clear security screens.
You'd get buzzed in, the door locked behind, then buzzed through the next door. Then patted down by 2 massive guys with hands the size of dinner plates. Didn't stop him getting done over by 3 guys armed with shotguns. He stopped selling jewellery and stuff then, started selling up market cars. I think he owns a Porsche dealership near Hull now. --- Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah... Diddly do diddly do diddly do... ... Copied to Clipboard!

@littlebro07 actually looks like no omega in that price range. i'd go with tag, nomos, or longines (maybe hamilton)
anything you like around that price (that's automatic) should give you good value CanuckCowboy posted...
there's buying influence...and there's overpaying. paying an extra 50k for a 6k watch is never going to be considered a good investment, no matter how rich you are. let me put it this way, you can get this watch new on the gray market for 12k...
