Watch > chain and bracelet. IMO.

Indeed

I prefer the chains and bracelet over the watch. I don't really like the markup on watches. How much gold is in a $10,000 two tone rolex? Maybe $1k worth?

used gold breitlings are closer to material costs.

Are any pieces of jewelry really worth what we pay for it? Lol...they are luxury items...not necessities.

 

[frank mucus]

And people are paying 10k+ for a civil war era day date with a hollow bracelet smh

When I get a cuban from Daniel's I feel like it is worth what I paid for it. The weight, the quality, etc.

if ur a gold bug u want that material cost baked in.

and luxury items being investments aren't mutually exclusive.

You're paying for the name, the reputation of the company and movement inside the watch. Rolex has said it takes them 1 year to make a watch.

You gotta look for deals, and 10k for a two tone sub is pricy unless its brand new from Rolex, but even then who cops at retail anyway?

Deals on old new stock/ near new can be found, patience is key but I do agree too many people are paying too much for washed day dates with the lean back bracelet.

Idk about that, I know some of those solid 18k joints hit like 300 grams but thats with the movement included if I'm not mistaken. And they're ugly AF!

far from ugly.

Can't wear one of those if you're not pushing a Bentley

far from ugly.
