That big face Rolex is a travesty to the medium size one. Not to mention what's with all these rappers putting those extra huge diamond bezels on them? :smh: I swear I look at them and shake my head in disgust. The Presidential Rolex to me is about prestige, class, elegance and luxury not all that extra flashy non sense.

@ breitling making rolex step up their game. Who even rocks a breitling anymore? Everyone is on the rolex game which is a good and bad thing (ace hood's Rollie bezel)
rolex watches fell OFF by da 2000's....and bretling dominated for a decade plus, its just recently when rolex came back with

da big face variants that they came for a comeback, not to mention that yellow gold came back strong.

Exactly. Dude convinces himself that what he's interested in is the driving force behind everything. Either way, he proved he needs to stick to talking about diamonds moissanite & gold and not timepieces. Breitlings were hot for like 5 years, Rolexes have generally been the standard since before he was born. :smh:

To get more money. Maybe Rolex fell out of favor for rappers for a while but generally speaking not a single brand can touch it.

Well to be fair, you don't need to be "rich" to buy a Rolex.
dont need to be rich to buy a $1500 stainless steel. ninjas talking about the $30k big face in 18k though. Id call 30k for watch money rich. i might have low standards though

whats the market for solid gold rolexes look like? oil sheiks and chinese businessmen and organized crime and rappers and entertainers probably cop more than joe blow doctor or attorney or businessman. i have no clue i just think to be eligible to drop 30 youre eating in a major way beyond most wage workers

i to spend 30k+ on watches you have to make atleast 6 figures imo
my pops has a presidential day date
not that im saying 6 figures is rich though

Rolex made the bigger cases to appear to a younger demographic. They're just playing catch up since women moved onto the 36mm case Rolex.

I personally prefer the Day Date II. The face is the same size as the regular Day Date, it just has larger lugs and the bezel is wider.

Yep. Can't argue with Ninja on this at all. Breitlings definitely forced Rolex to step their game up. They were running the game and crushing Rolex on the design front.Unless you have owned both, or seen 'em both side by side (as I am sure Ninja has), you might not understand how much harder a Breit is than a Rollie. I wore stainless rollies for years and nobody noticed 'em except for watch nerds. Put on that Breitling and everyone tryin ta glimpse the wrist. A gold rolex is still respectable, but a gold Breitling crushes it any day. Go on Ebay, there are tons of gold rollies, but a gold Breitling Bent is a rare sight. Daniel just listed one at $22500 and it sold in less than 2 days.It demands respect. If you are wearing a stainless rollie, you have to accept the fact that 99% of the people who see it think that it is a Seiko or off brand watch. The design is played and weak. Let's not pretend that we don't buy these watches to stunt either, because you can go to Wal mart and get a Casio for $50 that keeps time better than the Rolex. My dude BigL won't even let a tiny face rolex touch his wrist, he says it is a waste. :lol: I like my 41mm, but it has the big channel set VS bezel. I wouldn't touch a 36mm anything and even the subs and other models are weak to me. I am actually considering selling my AP to cop a yellow gold Breitling Bent if I can find one for the right price.

But take into consideration that da hip hop chains and pendants slimmed down too, so we're passed that big boy Britling phase. Thus, da big faced Rollie's are da perfect size.

They are a rare find. We sold our Yellow Gold Breitling Bentley GT quite quickly and it was a bid war. I wouldn't say Breitling crushes Rolex or vice versa. The Submariner is one of the most iconic watches in history and has one of the better investment aspects for a watch. You also have to remember that everyone's wrist size is different. Yeah, a 48mm Super Avenger will be a big look and go well with a bigger guy. But for your average guy, a Super Avenger is borderline too big. 

If you're worried about what other people think of your watch, then you might be in it for the wrong reasons. Enjoy it in good health because its a luxury item that not everyone has.

I myself am a Rolex fan but have had a share of Breitlings. I'd take a Patek Philippe over either. In the end its all personal preference.
