I have a milestone birthday coming up and have just begun the recon mission on finding a piece that will complement, but not directly compete with anything I currently have. Not into overly dressy or rectangular watches. 39-43mm range under $10k. No Rolex, I've had a few and I didn't like the attention they got. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Would you mind expounding on that? I'm currently in the market for a sub but have been contemplating when/where I'd wear it based on me preferring people not notice it/call it out and get some weird image/perception so I'm interested in hearing your experience with it.
I don't own one but I've heard your friends with less wealth will give you shit for it and your friends with more wealth will say oh you got that reference? Why didn't you get _____, it's way more classy.
Kind of a lose lose. Whether that's true or not I don't know. Personally I want an old vintage oyster as they are only around $2k but it's what's held me back....
Sounds like a lot of insecurity to me. Loads of friends in my circle wear watches from Rolex to Orient or Moonswatch. People may comment or casually ask questions/ask to try on but there’s no real judgement.
Work is a different story though, mostly it’s fine but when meeting clients probably a good idea to keep the Rolex at home
