“wait, you’ve never had a rolex? Why not?”
Because this is who DOES:

It’s not even the normie aspect, it’s the fact that I hate the british, I didn’t like the stuff Hans Wildorf did in WWII, I hate how Rolex today continues to be supremely condescending to would-be clientele while hocking their wares to freakish-looking foreigners and rappers like that doesn’t affect their brand.
I guess above all there’s just nothing that grabs me in their portfolio, either. The only rolex I can think of salivating over would be their old cushion-case work from the 30’s, in which case I’d rather have one of their anon ones given to the Marina Militare during the war. The submariner has been done in so many minute variations it just looks bland, like an $80,000 mustang.
@honky Just because the watch costs $18,000 doesn’t mean its owner is quality
@kuon The submariner wrote the book on dive watch designs. It’s literally THE dive watch, nearly every brand under the sun makes their own version of it with minor variations. By now it looks boring and played out because you’ve been drowning in imitations since you were born.
It’s not a bad design by any means, it’s just…..if you like the style you can find stuff that’s more exciting and personal. By now, the only ones buying rolexes are boomers chasing the highs of their youth (“someday I’m gonna be rich and buy that!!!”) or shitskins peacocking for their imaginary whores impressed by wealth.
In reality, most anyone expects it’s a fake anyways, particularly now that the chinks have gotten so good at replicating them you have to be savant-level autistic to pick them out at a glance. You have to know the type faces and spacing between letters to really pick out the $500 chink imitations by now.
So it’s just boring now. Sure, they’re a blue chip, but in order to even be ALLOWED to buy one at a rolex dealership, you’re required to buy a handful of less popular watches from them in order to get their blessing to get a real Submariner from their limited allocations like it’s a freakin’ 911 GT3.
