OT Ballers -- Expensive Watches

Rolex is for the poors

You can add it to your homeowner's policy, I believe.

About to buy my first rolex. Already have an omega. Do you have to buy separate insurance policies for watches? Or are they covered under your homeowner's/renter's policy?

Nope, call your agent and take out additional coverage for jewelry, list the each individual piece and I'd take a pic for record keeping.

to each his own.... I would never dump that much money into a fricking watch.

Although you think it will, wearing expensive things still doesn't make up for that deep seated feeling of inadequacy, and worthlessness.

Those feelings of inferiority are made more visible by your attempts to cover up.

If you are going to waste money on a watch, get a Breitling.

Jewelers Mutual is the way to go for any decent-sized collection if you only have one or two mid-range watches then also get a quote from you homeowners carrier.

Never understood the watch thing

Think of it as nice clothing now. It used to have a function, but unless your phone dies the function is just redundant.

Used submariner. Nothing baller

I prefer the Rolex Bao Dai.

Mechanical watches are a blend of engineering, craftsmanship, design, and art.

They are a personal item that you can use every single day. If you buy right (used or new depending on brand) and the right brand (Rolex steel, AP Royal Oak, Panerai, Patek, some Omegas, etc.), you get your $ back out of it and sometimes a little appreciation if it is years down the line.

You can also use them every single day and, if taken care of, hand them down to your children.

There aren't many other things that fit that bill.

I'm a big fan.
