I have a few very cheap watches but never wear any of them because I now find out what time it is by looking at my cell phone.

But I'll betcha that Stallone paid nada for that expensive watch  and .... just because he has one and wears one, that watch company will sell hundred's more.

Numerous companies 'donate' expensive gift packages to Acadamy Award presenters/contenders each year which add up to several thousand dollars worth of trips, watches, jewelry, etc. and thereby reap the benefits that result simply because that "star" has one, wears one, or is going there.

I received a box of popcorn once but I was miles away from the Dolby Theater where a family member lost  an  Oscar ... but the film in which he had participated  had earlier won the Palm d' Or.

But he didn't get shit, cept for a standing ovation.

That's the equivalent of  receiving the Acadamy's best picture award, but it occurs someplace in France if I recall correctly.

Some good GetBiggers think I speak dishonestly when I write his shit,  but I ain't!

Yeah, I am not watching that shit lol

Either way, there is no way the machinery of a watch is more complex than this piece of machinery:

This is about 315K. Are you telling me a watch cost about 700K more? People who buy these watches are getting ripped off. Plain and simple. Granted, if they can afford it, good for them, but they have to know they are being had.



Just like jewelry and sports cars.  Two best days in a Porsche's owners life; the day he buys it and the day he sells it.

If it was $40 at Walmart it would be a rather bulky, ugly watch. Put a big price tag on it, it becomes awesome.

I buy and sell Rolex weekly,it’s part of my income and if you knew Rolex like I do you would know you don’t know what you are talking about.

Try finding a Rolex 116500 at an authorized dealer and you will pay around 13.2-13.5 with tax the watch came out in 2016 and is still selling grey market for 20k everyday and will be selling for close to that for years.Or but a Rolex 116610lv for around 9500 and you can resell allday for 12k,or 116710blnr for around 9500 and you can get 11500 allday,or 116710pepsi for 10k and you can resell for 16-18k.Or 116610ln for 9k and you can resell for 10k.this is a passion of mine and i know Rolex and prices like the back of my hand.Rolex is a very stable in price you don’t lose unless buying undesirable models brand new such as Rolex 116400 milgauss,Rolex 126300 djii.

You are correct!

I have never heard of Mille watches before reading this post and I find it interesting that anyone would pay this much for someting just to tell you the time of day.

Here are some Mille watches in which I forsee some difficulty when you want to know what time it is ....  if you owned one!

You would need a degree in mechanical engineering to understand the damn thing.  Why does anyone need a compass on a watch?  I've only used a compass twice in life in the Boy Scouts and USMC.  If I need to know which direction to go I look at the sun.

I've just never been able to understand the allure that some individuals have towards expensive watches. People tend to evaluate watches as if they're jewelry. Get a fucking bracelet; why even bother with a bulky watch if you're only concerned with bling factor? A watch is for keeping time, a bracelet is for show.

A Bentley won't get you to work any faster than a Toyota, in traffic.

A hundred bucks is generous, IMO.

What would you wear that would make that watch look good anyway?  Can you imagine showing up to a formal dinner wearing a suit and a camouflage watch? ::)

I’m a watch person
Only them watches are horrible- far to much going on with face to be able to tell the time.
Just because they are expensive- doesn’t automatically mean there nice.

Yes true enough.
Only we all like & spend our $ on different things
It don’t make one right & one wrong.

I don’t understand why pot holeing or jumping out of perfectly good aeroplanes & many other things.

As I said earlier to each is own or live and let live.

I don't understand collecting Jordan sneakers but could care less if someone else does.

If you read the article on the watch, it is supposedly for the fictional John Rambo character. And that is where the compass comes into play. As well as other design aspects. Now why would Rambo wear a million dollar watch in the woods is question all in itself.

This watch is not a formal watch, so wearing it with a suit shows that that wearer wants the attention on the watch. Because, if you look at people who wrap their exotic cars in camo, it’s to gain more attention, not to hide from it. In today’s world, camo is often used to stand out, not to blend in.

Sly's watch looks more like something Geoffrey the Giraffe would wear more than a watch connoisseur.

Just like the majority of the public won’t understand putting on oil, wearing a thong and prance on stage shaking your booty while having striated glutes, all while pumping your fists to get the crowd to cheer you on

PsssT.... Or this one for $500?

Choose your color ... White, red, or green!

And maybe even purple!

It’s funny that there are 1:1 reps out there and pretty much no one would know the difference but as a watch lover fakes just don’t cut it as the watch is for me not for someone else so knowing it’s fake just wouldn’t work.

You've picked the right site bro.

A $500 watch is either cheap or expensive depending on who you are. $500 in the hands of even the most inexperienced schmoe, pre/post contest, will yield incredible results.

A friend sent me a fake ROLEX once that he  found in some little kiosk in New York (Canal St???) and it looked pretty damn authentic to me ....

So I asked a real ROLEX owner to tell me if he could ID its authenticity without touching it.

And he immediate said. "It's fake .... beause the minute hand goes around in little jumps, but my real one rotates smoothly."

"Otherwise , from a distance it liiks pretty good."

PS   .... At the real ROLEX store near Rodeo Drive in LA, it would cost you something like $300 just to have it cleaned.

You enter a huge room with your dirty ROLEX and walk to the far end (it's a big room)  where one secretary type lady sits at a fancy desk awaiting your inquirey.

"Mt Rolex is dirty!"

Then you place it on a silver tray while she does some typing on her Apple computer and a very well-dressed gentleman suddenly appears and carries that silver tray on which rests your dirty ROLEX and disappears just as suddenly into some well concealed cleaning room.

In this case visiting hours wee not available so we had to return 2 days later and pick it up. It looked brand new and even had a new glass 'cover' because the dirty one hs a scratch on it which was unseeable  and which I thought was impossible.

And a bill for $300.

Can you ROLEX owners confirm that $300 cleaning price or was he taken to the 'cleaners"?  Or do I not remember correctly as this occured about 15 years ago.

And has anyone else ever  been in that Rodeo Drive Rolex store?

And what's the price to clean a MILLIE?

I think you're referring to this boutique.
https://www.rolex.com/rolex-dealers/dealer-locator/rolex-care-and-maintenance/rolexboutiquegearysrodeo.rswi_2838.beverlyhills.unitedstates.rolexdealers.com

A "cleaning" is a full service which includes the movement. Your friend may have just had a crystal replacement, pressure test and polish (based on the price).  Depending on what needs tone done a service which includes regulation can be $800 and up.

WALT, Thanks!  Now that you mentioned "CRYSTAL", I think that is exactly what was replaced ...... with no cleaning necesessary.

But prior to that visit ..  I hd always thought ROLEX "crystals" were scratch-proof.

 Your friend may have had an older Rolex with an acrylic crystal which scratches far more easily than the presently used sapphire.

The acrylic crystals can be polished; however, in some cases the scratches can be too deep or the crystal is cracked.
