Anyone bought a Rolex in the past year or so and willing to share some insight into the process? Seems like a joke to get one at retail

Rolex is overrated, IMO. (Sorry, I realize this is of no help, but just a reminder to consider the other viable options on the market as well.)

Personally not my scene so can't say. There's a lot of cool indie brands that I like instead since they look a bit more modern than Rolex. Maybe someone else can offer some insight

Really? This is what we want to talk about? lol

You either have to get lucky (meaning they have one and for some reason like you enough to sell it to you) or you have to buy from a grey dealer.

I started a side watch business when I was an analyst. Very familiar with the process here. Long story short,
Rolex authorized dealer wait times are anywhere between 2-10 years depending on the model. Yes, people get lucky now and then and get them sooner, but I’d say on average 2-5 years is probably what you’re looking at to get a Rolex at retail.

Prices on secondary market are going up every day, but at least you can skip the wait. Feel free to PM for more questions.

They’re great investments that you can wear on your wrist.

Very helpful context and will shoot you a pm - thanks!

Got my first Rolex from TheRealReal! They have some great ones. Paid 5k so reasonable. It depends what your style is but in general the jubilee bracelet and the dual tone is more valuable

Yeah I just got it at a local jewelry store that I had a good relationship with. I’m a woman though so it’s probably easier since there is less demand

London, UK. Currently work in real estate finance for a retail/commercial bank. 2+ years exp in debt (mezz and senior). Graduated 2018 from UK target in Real Estate (around 1/5 modules were finance). Looking to get out of retail and move to corporate. Think IB might be a push but MBD at GS sort of think more likely. I’m doing CFI modelling course to get my skills up to scratch. Any other suggestions? I think CFA has slim to no value in my situation but open to hear otherwise. Cheers
