What watches do you ballers currently own?

I own a five digit Rolex Explorer 2 black face with the orange hand box, manual, paper work and badges.

A Breitling Navitimer Chromates just acquired.

As for new watches the Rolex GMT-Master II Ref 126720VTNR "Sprite" is the next prize of the pack IMO.



I want this one over a Daytona or a Hulk!

This is the money board. You aren’t allowed to have anything nice just save money.

I am in line for the next Rolex Day-Date 40 watch: 18 kt Everose Gold to come in. It's a beauty.

I've got four rolexes, a patek, and an omega. Not sure if I'll buy another rolex since their ADs are mostly assholes

I told myself I will buy a Rolex once I have certain life goals accomplished. I am still probably 10 years or so out.

I decided I was going to get one when I could afford to outright buy it and not have to finance it. That was 6yrs ago and was a huge feeling of accomplishment for me.

I’m on the 7 year installment plan no money down for my Rolex. Got the warranty too just in case but no free oil changes.

I am assuming you are joking? They offer multi year plans on watches?

Rolex Explorer

Inherited a Rolex day-date Presidential from a grandparent. I was with him when he bought it in 1988. As a child that was my first time seeing a big accomplishment that had meaning to me.

Rolex Datejust with the new mint green motif dial.

Omega Aqua Terra with rubber strap. I really like this watch and goes with everything. What I like about Omegas is that they are nice watches but to me are low key compared to a Rolex. I will buy another in the future.

I’ve got an Aqua Terra. It’s the silver face with the orange second hand and bracelet. I’ve got a cloth band for it but never put it on.

You can get financing for anything these days. This is the one time I’d argue take the loan. If it’s interest free, unlike a car, appliances, flooring etc, you’re buying an asset that very likely isn’t going to lose value over the payment period. Free money is free money if you use it smartly.

Any major watch/jeweler offers financing. Usually zero percent, but in lieu of discounting the sale price.

Not sure if zero percent loans are available now though.

The sales price of a Rolex is set by Rolex.
