Apparently my friend likes to buy official designer stuff for less than designer prices and has a knack for finding legit items for inexpensive prices. Recently put me on to some nice looking Rollies that legitimately cost $~5,000 no special deal or whatever.
The only reason I would do it is because it's cheap for the brand and it's a semblance of status.
Would you guys do something like that if you could for your brand of preference

last commentMy prized piece of jewelry is my Oyster Rolex I bought in Bangkok for a few bhat. It even has Chinese writing on it! Must be a rare piece, made from the secret factory in Beijing. It's so secret in fact even Rolex never heard of it!
It's a brilliant copy though. Came with the box, wax tag etc. The second hand ticks 4 times a second even. It ran well over a year before it died. Probably not worth fixing but dancers were impressed!

I've always said that if I want to be ostentatious about my net worth, I'll staple $100 bills to my car dash.
I enjoy my $25 Timex with EZ read numerals and a button that lights the face. Priceless !

Think of who you want to impress with that watch, and how that money could be better spent, to do the same job.

Plenty of high status watches out there for less than $5K I haven't worn a watch in years

Strippers should have a booth at the State Fair guessing men's net worth. They'd guess right every time.

No. If I'm going to spend a bunch of money, then I'd rather invest in an experience and not a thing.
Or, if it's going to be a thing, then something where the value is tied up in greater utility rather than status / trends.

@twentyfive if that is true of what you said, then you need to PM me the details

I'll send to you some name brands that you should have no trouble finding in NYC later after I get home from my office. Just walk around the midtown jewelry district many will negotiate and you can get some very nice watches just be careful because there are tons of counterfeits also.

Sounds like a great fashion accessory to wear for a few months before it's taken in a robbery. If you do particularly well, you might even survive and be able to walk afterwards! Now, a diamond-encrusted gilded cane and a grill sound like they would be nice follow-ons.

The only time I wear a watch is when I am going to a strip club and then I wear an inexpensive watch that my ATF gave me. A strip club is the last place you want to show off your money. It's also the last place you will find a clock.

I am still considering a rolex but just cant pull the trigger yet. But I actually do my best to keep expensive stuff out of strip clubs. I had a tiffany money clip lost in VIP probably worth a couple $ and a silver tie clip worth maybe $75. I am shocked they did not end up in the strip club lost and found. Lol...hmm thinking its time to post a new thread

I'm still bothered about my brand new belt I lost in a club; I think it was the second time I had worn it!
With a mind like that, I'd never risk wearing a watch in a club.

@shadowcat and casinos!
No. I'm not into flashy stuff. I once had a potential SB ask me what car I drive and when I told her, then asked me why I didn't drive a better car. I told her an extra $300 a month on a car payment isn't going to get me any where any faster, and I'd rather spend that $300 on women.

I have one of only 1,000 watches that are the same. Haven't got a a clue of it's worth.

These days unless you're a high roller when anyone sees a Rolex they assume it's fake. Same with LV bags and women. I just have to laugh when I see a woman hop out of a beat up old minivan carrying her LV bag likes it's a newborn. I'm like "okay lady if that bag was a real one it'd be worth more than the car."
BTW - you can get nice pre-owned Rolexes for under $5,000 on eBay and pawn shops.
If I'm actually wearing a watch it's a Fitbit or my Apple Watch. I do have a Breitling that has a nylon strap, much more low key than a Rolex that watch aficionados will still appreciate.

There is a website which IMHO has the best product out there. Almost any high end watch available grey market

Rolex, Breitling, Omega, and a few others are actually at the low end of the "luxury" watch market. A true high end watch, like a Patek Philippe, costs many tens or hundreds of thousands of $$, but most people wouldn't recognize one. I have one of the low end luxury watches, which I have worn continuously for many years. It's not really flashy, but it is recognizable. Several dancers over the years have commented on it. I always tell them it's a counterfeit, but they don't believe me. I had a dancer try to take it off my wrist one time during an OTC session when she thought I was asleep, but she couldn't figure out how to work the safety clasp. It was actually kind of amusing. But yeah, a "luxury" watch can draw attention, which can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the circumstances.

My favorite watch of all the watches I own is a Baum & Mercier with a leather strap and 14 complications I also own a Rolex and a few others, but as I said earlier I haven't worn a watch in years, at one point I wanted to buy a Patel Phillipe I doubt that any of the strippers that I see, would even recognize the name.

The last time I wore a watch was when I was 18 and went to visit some strip clubs in Mexico. It was a black Seiko with a leather strap that I was given for high school graduation.

A Rolex is for chumps. A RICH STUD wears a Patek Philippe:

Status symbols are only appropriate as an actual representation of your place. If you get overly showy, it's tacky and noveu rich like. If you have money and status, but go overly cheap, then it can look like you don't value yourself, save, or know how to prioritize. I think it's better to not wear abs watch and just say you hate them bc they get in the way of all of your rugged activities.

"I think it's better to not wear abs watch and just say you hate them bc they get in the way of all of your rugged activities."
--The single most recognized and copied watch in world is probably the Rolex Submariner dive watch. I would guess 99% of wearers have never gotten close to a scuba tank, but it's worn to project the image that the wearer is in to "rugged activities."
