I would sell it for 300k, or even for 280k, then buy a 180k car (that's already impressive enough at 180k!), a 50k watch, and keep 60k in the bank, perhaps invest them in a REIT so I am earning 500$ per month FOR FREE after 10 years I'd take the watch too and also sell it for a less expensive GS, and get a car ($35K) and pocket/invest the rest. --- Putin delenda est <cite>brestugo posted [p:972523862] in Does Rolex...

The_shibe 03/30/23 11:37:58 PM #46:	on rolex vs GS. I don't think people understand how much goes into a Rolex, or even an Omega. Think about one of those old school, not-too-flashy datejust stainless steel watches: https://www.rolex.com/en-us/watches/datejust/m126234-0051 The fluted bezel is always finished in gold. Even the stainless steel models have white gold fluted bezels, always. Rolex doesn't even make a big deal out of it and bring attention to it, and they call these watches "datejust stainless steel" The "sunburst" finish, that seems so normal now, even cliche? It's the result of micro-brushing, the light pattern is actually caused by micro-grooves reflecting the light. Other stuff not seen in this page, and which apply to ALL datejusts: the lume? It's actually "super luminova", highly superior to any other lume in the industry. their steel? The industry standard stainless steel is 316L.You may see some watch brands refer to 316L as surgical grade steel or marine grade steel. But rolex uses 904L, it's leaps and bounds above the rest of the industry.it takes a higher polish than other grades of steel and provides greater corrosion resistance. Rolex has its own gold foundry (!!!) and used gold of a higher grade than the rest of the industry. The also have a type of gold called everose that doesn't loose luster. This goes way beyond your usual "stainless steel watch with a cool dial and a good movement" (e.g. Grand Seiko) --- So post. Much gamefaqs. Wow. <cite>The_shibe posted [p:972531222] in Does Rolex...
