Can’t have fatigue if I never liked em in the first place

It would be great if you all did.

Wouldn't help you anyway! I don't play the wait list/hype game 😁

Yep, got tired of wanting to get on waitlists and being laughed at, so I’m taking my money elsewhere to brands who will happily take it

Yep, the whole process of begging an AD to even be on a waitlist wore me out. I’ll just wait for the bubble to pop 🤷🏻‍♂️

I still like their watches but am using the Rolex hype/craze/fake shortages as inspiration to research/add other brands to my collection. JLC, PP and maybe even a vintage Cartier

That PP world time is giving me big Frederique Constant vibes for some reason

Not particularly, i have a couple and enjoy them a lot. I don’t focus on the hype/resale BS but wear them as they’re meant to be worn

Feel free to send your Rolex’s my way if you are getting a Rolex fatigue. Same goes for breitlings.

I’ll pass on the tags tho

I like TAG too. It’s my little secret

Some of them are actually starting to grow on me. There’s something about the purity of the core designs... A black/white Datejust or OP is like the Helvetica of watches. Nothing should be added, nothing could be removed.

(I’ve blocked the new palm dial from my memory.)

Objectively incorrect: the SBGH005 is the perfect black dial watch 😁

Nope! Love my DJ and no-date sub. Will def purchase a Pepsi gmt, gold day-date, and a panda Daytona if I ever get my hands on them.

Good to hear BCG1!, I have a Pepsi and a black Daytona and they’re great watches. Hope you can get them soon too

Never! Want a blue datejust and some kind of gmt eventually! Oh and one of my grails is a blue skydweller 😍😍😍

I love them, don’t get me wrong, but it’s ridiculous the kinds of premiums over MSRP that some of their watches carry

I have one and while I love it, I don’t want another. I’m just having a hard time picking something else.

Yea. I still would love a Date Sub and/or Pepsi on Osyter bracelet, but the rest of them aren’t anything special to me. I’m very happy with my Omegas and Zeniths tho

I’d get an OP if they were like 2k. For their actual price, there are other things I like more.

Yes I think after this years new releases it was very underwhelming and it’s pushing me to try something new and check out other brands. I honestly thought Tudor’s releases were more exciting and it seems like Rolex is complacent. One thing I wish they would do is have certain watches available online or a made to order program of classic models like the black sub or even oyster perpetuals or datejusts.

While I appreciate their honesty, I feel like they consider me severely indebted to them that they hired me mid pandemic and “allow” me to work from home.

Thought/question I have been wondering for a while below.

I am about to start looking for engagement rings…. Thoughts on finding a jeweler that also sells Rolex’s and possibly try to get a bundle deal (looking for spend around 20ish k on the ring and just a datejust for the watch)?

I am in NYC but open to surrounding areas if anyone has any jeweler suggestions.

No idea if this is a stupid thought but figured it would be worth seeing if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this. TIA.

Sometimes I feel like this watch is just too versatile - I’ve had it for four years and still want to grab it out of the box every day. When I wear other watches I find myself regretting not wearing the GMT. Anyone else have this experience with one watch in their collection?

Was just offered this by my AD. If I take it will my chances of getting a sub or GMT go up or down? EDIT adding context:
Originally mentioned I wanted a DJ (blue,black,green,wimby) but preferred Sub or GMT. Trying to understand if I buy this am I building social capital or spending it since it’s adding purchase but the watch is still in demand.
