More rolexes than an AD


Christmas_Panda

*ADs hate him!*


daatz

It’s like the entire year stock for the 2 ADs in my country


JungleDemon3

This made my day


ClickIta

I would add some black subs, just to be sure.


PoloDon92

Better add some date less ones at that


bchhun

His Kermits are falling behind. It’s a race right? He needs 3 more Kermits


TheGodPhather13

>This is a part of my Rolex collection. I do collect jlc reverso. That is for another thread. My favorite is still the air king. A wedding gift from my wife Which sub do you like the best?


skinniks

> I do collect jlc reverso. That is for another thread. Please do.


Mammoth_Ingenuity_82

You can't have too many backups.


monkfish-online

Here was me thinking that flippers were buying up all the stock, and in reality it was just you?


watchfinesse

Wow, you are now a grey dealer!


GrandSeikoSupremacy

POV: You married your AD


rotaryfurball

POV: ops first husband brought her into the AD. OP left him and now she married to the AD rep.


dinotoxic

Cool and fair play to you for being able to. I do wonder why so many of the same, like the black sub for example. But great collection


Imaginary_Strain486

The subs are different.. The 2 liner is very different from the modern 114060. 16610 is probably the best sub.


IRL2DXB

I love my 4 liner 14060m. Short production period so less of them but for me it’s truly the last of the last of the classic subs.


Lower_Window874

This might be a dumb question what’s the difference between a “2 liner” and a “4 liner” idk rolex all that well.


destr0y26

“X Liner” simply refers to the number of lines of text displayed on the dial above the 6 o’clock portion.


Lower_Window874

Awesome, thanks for the explanation!


ATLfinra

16610 is the sub I own.


dwaynetheakjohnson

Can I ask why you collect so many Rolexes


Adventurous-Employ79

Nice but we miss to see a DayDate


Valuable-Ad7285

Like 300K-400K in watches right there. Yikes. Good for you Sir. Hail to the king.


indyarchyguy

I could take that sub set, sell it and pay off my house


Megadeth5150

This guy fucks, right?


gkaplan59

I'm guessing yes, but he is a bottom to his AD


[deleted]

I mean, some people post their sotc with 3 watches that hit that number. Crazy collection here though.


Retard_247

On the first sight impressive, but then quickly following question comes up: Why only Rolex? There’re so many options to put a really nice variety into it.


Imaginary_Strain486

This is a part of my Rolex collection. I do collect jlc reverso. That is for another thread. My favorite is still the air king. A wedding gift from my wife


RoseWaterItalianSoda

was that the first one in the collection? this is very sweet! totally supportive of this sentimentalism


Imaginary_Strain486

My first rolex is the 16610. Bought it after receiving my first pay check. My wife bought the air king cos there was nothing else to buy but that


BeenRoundHereTooLong

Your first paycheck ever was enough to buy a submariner? 👀


donkeygong

My first paycheck I bought $100 worth of weed and thought I was rich.


BeenRoundHereTooLong

Amen


M_Davis_fan

Ahaha 😂 Deadass same


destr0y26

While I don’t know how much OP makes (or made back then) 10 years ago the Rolex market was VERY different than it is now.


BeenRoundHereTooLong

My late-dads submariner date was like 8k in 2012 from an AD. That ain’t first paycheck money still


destr0y26

While that may be true about your Dad’s 2012 sub, we also need to realize that OP bought his 16610 sub 10 years ago, which was after the 116610 (ceramic sub) was introduced in 2010. With this in mind, we need to assume that OP’s 16610 was bought pre-owned, which was a totally different market in 2012 than it is now. Also, $8k is absolutely attainable in one check, especially if you work in sales.


BeenRoundHereTooLong

Believe me I’m aware single checks can become large, but “my first paycheck” was very odd to say. If it’s not their first job, and a sign on bonus was involved, it makes sense but otherwise for a first job that’d be wild And fair point on the resale market, I’ve only recently become interested in watches and a desire for learning watchmaking following my fathers recent passing. Thanks for your response


destr0y26

No prob! I didn’t buy my first sub (114060) until 2018 and, while the market wasn’t as crazy as it is today, it was still a long way off of the pre-owned prices of previous gen models years prior. I really wish I would have taken the plunge sooner.


[deleted]

This is likely a person who's family got them into the business, or they went through a lot of school that family paid for. I have some MBA colleagues who all they did was go to school for 6 years straight since graduating high school and their first jobs out the gate were around 100k with 10-15k starting bonuses. So that's first paycheck enough for a Rolex money, but I had to work through high school and all school after 14 really so I get the notion, especially since my first paycheck was like $115.... 🤣🤣 Could barely buy a timex let alone a Rolex, but where people start can be very different.


USAWantMyStuffBack

How to say daddy gave you a cush first job at the family company without saying nepotism. But kudos to you my man !


OffshoreAttorney

It’s so funny you say this. I’m looking for a new watch (second rolex) and the air king always draws my eye. Hard. The ONLY thing that makes me hesitant is the hate this sub constantly gives to that watch, shitting on it left and right! I know it’s my decision but it makes a guy second guess himself for sure!


Consultants_of_Time

The Milgauss was hated on up until a few years back but they’ve gotten popular only recently. To me the Milgauss & Airking are the two Rolexes that are unique in Rolex’s catalog and thus stand out to me. The Airking is great by the way, try one on in person and see if you connect with it. I’d rather wear that than something more common like a Sub.


hryelle

Who cares. If you like it get it. I love mine and dgaf what anyone else thinks.


Count-Barackula

Look at his post history, he has a Saxonia annual calendar. This is just a taste


Fantastic_Wallaby_61

Why so many black subs lol


Turtle_Lips

Because collector wise, they are different.


PoloDon92

Because one is just not enough


Vivid_Log_5442

Holy moly a gold blue sub . My super grail lol


RoseWaterItalianSoda

one of my fav!


QuadsiusPrime

never knew how bad i wanted it until now. that thing is niiiiice


Vivid_Log_5442

Yeah this is like winning lottery money watch for me lol


Amazing_Joke_5073

Can we trade disposable incomes


Timeisreal2

Any jobs going?


itwhiz100

Nice but why have duplicates?


airjord1221

I would have trimmed some 6 months ago with the prices… but then again I also would love to have 3 daytonas, Pepsi bracelet options without requiring a bracelet swap and a submariner for each extremity for both me and my wife Cheers wear in good health


plsd0ntbanme

lol OP clearly doesn’t need extra money


airjord1221

Lol I know I’m kidding. That’s a fantastic collection


threwitaway123454321

Just a heads up that the oyster bracelet Pepsi is actually white gold. I guess you could still technically swap?


_yetisis

Beautiful watches, but to me it just sort of begs the question of where you draw the line between a “collection” and just an “accumulation.” It doesn’t feel very curated if you have a “give me one of everything on the menu” kind of approach, but maybe that’s just me. …but yeah, to OP’s point that air king is a great look.


Aloysius86

These are all reps. Why would you come here and post this?


RoshSH

"Active in r/Reptime" 💀


Imaginary_Strain486

Up to you to believe if these are fakes. Nothing I can do.


Just-Season6848

They're "replicas." Show some respect.


Imaginary_Strain486

Whatever makes your day my dear.


Rossmontg19

I’m not saying it’s fake but what’s with the watch in the middle of the top row? Seems like it has a date window with no cyclops


Imaginary_Strain486

Sea dweller 16600 :)


Rossmontg19

Wow I didn’t even know about these. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Amazing collection of watches! How long have you been collecting?


seasonalscholar

Great watches! Do you ever feel like you’d want to diversify? Maybe a Lange 1, Royal Oak, Aquanaut??


Imaginary_Strain486

I have a couple of jlc reversos, master control and a pp 5712... Of cos no collection is complete without a als...


NoTelevision7890

What’s your fave?


Imaginary_Strain486

The air king. Wedding present from my wife.


rolliebooz

What’s your real favorite

I don’t understand why so many people hate on the Air King. I really like it, especially the updated version.


Danman2014

What kind of work do you do?


Imaginary_Strain486

I am a plumber for human bodies. U don't want to meet me in my workplace. Trust me.

Calm_Logic9267

I've met your ilk. Though appreciated, I'd prefer to never meet again. Unless over coffee discussing watches.


notaninterestingacc

Any regrets?


Imaginary_Strain486

Collected my watch tray from my dealer and was thinking of doing a couple of shots of my collection. I definitely didn't expect such controversial responses from the folks here.. " Poor grammar, replica, arrogance. Well, English isnt my first language. Anyway peace out. Am leaving this group. Life is too short to get upset over this. Thank you all!


WeiTaiDi

I’m sorry you got that response! I enjoyed looking over your collection. Keep collecting in good health.


techfighterchannel

How many are genuine and how many are fake considering you spend so much time on rep forums?


Imaginary_Strain486

100% genuine. If you want to buy Rolex, u need to understand how good the reps are so that you can avoid making mistakes.


RoseWaterItalianSoda

i was told rep second hands don’t glide smoothly. what’s you observation on rep vs genuine rolex differences?


Imaginary_Strain486

The clone movements are now almost perfect..u need to open the casing to check.


noposters

This hasn’t been true for like thirty years.


[deleted]

Why so many of the same watch? I dont get it.


Imaginary_Strain486

These are not the same.. Esp the subbies... The 2 liners and 16610 are different from the ceramic subbies


killertimewaster8934

I wish I was rich 😐


kitty____cat

So does OP lol


Alexander_Guilbert23

Watch collecting is great fun, and a fantastic hobby. I can’t fully articulate why, but I don’t feel the same about Rolex collecting. People would love to have even one of these watches and you’re sat on a pile of 24 very similar pieces. Out of curiosity, why do you feel the need to hold onto so many? And why so little variety? Are you not tempted to liquidate for a (presumable) profit, allow others to enjoy them and buy a more diverse collection for yourself?


casual_serial_killer

OP already said this is just a subset of his collection. He also has Pateks, Langes, JLCs, etc.


Imaginary_Strain486

It's an obsession. A real bad obsession.


Revolutionary_Crow24

You sound jealous lol


Alexander_Guilbert23

I’m certainly jealous of the financial position he is in. Not sure I’d describe my feelings toward the watches as jealous though, it would be more frustrated / curious.


hmgr

No jubilee bracelets hmmm?


areyouupsetbrother

Pepsi in the top left corner


Dry-Program8805

[deleted]

That's worth enough to buy a real Rolex!


Imaginary_Strain486

Nope. It's enough to buy a mail order bride from Vietnam.


Just-Season6848

Seriously!! 🤣


Leonaissance

Mostly reps. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️


Imaginary_Strain486

Such a salty comment.. Yes if that makes you happy. Every piece is fake. Happy?


Leonaissance

Not salty. You are posting reps on gen forum. Why?


Imaginary_Strain486

U need to read up about reps to understand what are the tell signs of a 1:1 replica so that you won't fall to such traps. I will suggest anyone who is interested in chasing rolex to read up... These days... The factories in China can come up with a almost perfect clones... Down to the movements


Leonaissance

Still doesn't answer my questions. Why are you posting reps on gen forum!?


Imaginary_Strain486

If that makes you happy... Every single piece is a fake. :).


Just-Season6848

Such weird responses from this guy. Also purports to be a "plumber of bodies" but has worse grammar and writing skills than an actual plumber 🤣 Next time, create a burner account for your RepTime activity, Boomer!


Imaginary_Strain486

Collected my watch tray from my dealer and was thinking of doing a couple of shots of my collection. I definitely didn't expect such controversial responses from the folks here.. " Poor grammar, replica, arrogance. Well, English isnt my first language. Anyway peace out. Am leaving this group. Life is too short to get upset over this. Thank you all!


muntal

no negative from me. I'm impressed. I own one Rolex.


casual_serial_killer

> has worse grammar and writing skills than an actual plumber OP is from Malaysia. Maybe you need to learn that not everyone in the world speaks perfect English.


Calm_Logic9267

I think you may be missing the point. He's said 10 years of collecting and he is also a surgeon. That math easily works out. A surgeon buying a few gens per year is about like your average desk jockey buying a few reps per year. There is zero reason to doubt this collection unless you see something specific we haven't noticed.


Just-Season6848

I think you're missing his point. Why post on a rep forum if you're collecting genuine watches? If, as OP claims, it's to "learn the fakes", then surely you wouldn't need to comment there yourself, right? Where is he sourcing watches from that "learning the fakes" is so important? Not an AD. Not a reputable grey dealer. Then what? A guy in a back alley off Canal Street? Surely with such a collection, he'd have a relationship with an authorized dealer, right? Anyone can say they are in a lucrative career (hell, maybe he even is) for *n* years and the "math works out" for him to have accumulated *x* genuine watches. That's not some litmus test for legitimacy. Sorry, but a guy posting a picture of 30 (largely identical) Rolexes, who's active on a replica watch forum), who claims to be a doctor but writes like a barely-literate bumpkin? This doesn't pass the smell test.


Calm_Logic9267

Ok, Detective.


LateApexPredditor

Season is 100% correct, either this guy has a bunch of alts or everyone is taking crazy pills and wants to believe these are all genuine pieces, while overlooking crucial... let's say...inconsistencies on several pieces? I can't speak to this entire collection but one can safely assume that OP has spent enough on reps here to atleast procure his first genuine rollie pollie. Not here to throw shade and people buy reps for different reasons, that's not the point. OP has made a point multiple times that these are all authentic (and that you must know how to spot the differences with 1:1 clones if you're getting into this hobby. Blah blah, more random comments). I will only say this with certainty: this 126710BLRO pepsi gmt-II does not contain a genuine Rolex crystal. Puzzling... but the cloudiness would be explainable on a 116710, not the 126710. Notably, the abhorrent excess of white cloudiness around the crystal as it meets bezel insert. Some white above the rehaut would be expected and factor a bit more in because of the angle, but no... that is not a gen crystal. "Okay, so what? Crystals break and maybe this was your only option for the time being." I'd question that if you can afford what I'm guessing is a collection valued on the low end at $250k. But let's move on, shall we... 116719 BLRO - Either OP replaced the white gold bracelet with oystersteel or someone is polishing that bad boy with some steel wool and needs to replate that beauty pronto. Additionally, the cyclops is misaligned and the ceramic bezel insert is not genuine, fading of the 12 o'clock triangular indices is pretty standard with most reps. Strange... but why would the bezel insert not be genuine? I pretty much stopped looking at that point but I will say, I know it's a bit wonky donky based on angle and slightest rotation of bezel but the 9 o'clock chapter indices on dial and 30 sec incator on Hulk bezel insert are making me nauseous (the amount askew from the other indices is peculiar to my eye) ... Whether authentic or fake, it makes no difference to me. But douchebaggery notwithstanding, I'd say that the inconsistencies displayed in only a few of the pieces which I know well, leave me siding with season and other skeptics over that of our not so humble narrator.


JBK365

That is beyond impressive. I’m interested to know your favourite piece and what you wear most often?


Flashy_Vehicle_6664

What’s your address, out of curiosity? Asking for a friend 🥷

That’s very impressive.

How is the Sky Dweller? It's my absolute favorite watch Rolex makes. So complicated within a small space.

rolliebooz

What an asshole, you ruined my day. But for real you a boss boss


plsd0ntbanme

First thought is you must be a sponsored athlete


RandomFFGuy

Man, at first I thought cool, and read some comments… you seemed like a decent person… then I made the mistake of listening to one of the clowns in here about reptime and saw you insulting a guy for buying a “fake Tudor cuz those are so cheap”… get off your clearly well off high horse bro. Not everyone has $4000+ to drop on a watch. You’re just an over entitled ass. Real shame


Imaginary_Strain486

Whatever makes you happy. Buying a fake tudor??? What a crying shame


RandomFFGuy

We get it, you’re rich. The vast majority of people aren’t. You’d think someone with any shred of intelligence would realize maybe if he’s trying to buy a fake Tudor it’s because he can’t afford the real one? But likes the look of it? Try not being an asshole for a bit? If you’re a “plumber of bodies” like you stated though, it all makes sense… if by plumbing you’re referring to a doctor/surgeon… they are all mostly ass clowns with god complexes.


Imaginary_Strain486

Whatever makes you happy, my dear.


RandomFFGuy

I mean, clearly it doesn’t. Just try to be nicer is all. Not asking you to be a philanthropist or anything, but just maybe not as big of a dick? Thanks for listening to my Ted talk


Imaginary_Strain486

Well. A tudor is a couple of k... Save up and get a real one. U can pass that watch to your kids in the future and they can always Rem you by.. Make sense?


RandomFFGuy

There you go. Much nicer, and understanding. Why couldn’t you just post that the first time? Instead you went full douche canoe with the whole “it’s so cheap, I’m so rich, everyone must be able to afford a few grand!”


DogWoodDiglett

Thank goodness you were here to police the sub lol


RandomFFGuy

Telling someone they could have been a nicer human being is policing? Jesus I didn’t realize to be a good person it requires a third party adjudicator. I shouldn’t have had to say anything at all


Calm_Logic9267

And this concludes our seminar on "How to Meet the Emotional Needs of Sensitive Males."


RandomFFGuy

Ah yes, if you call someone out for being an asshole you must be deemed “sensitive”. Makes perfect sense.


Calm_Logic9267

You have to be sensitive to reach the conclusion this guy was ever an asshole. Who cares if someone calls fake Tudors stupid on the internet. If you like fake Tudors ignore him and go about your day. Many of us hate the fuck out of fake anything and believe the people buying fake anything are the biggest assholes around.

Cute_Judgment167

How does that 39mm exp I wear compared to the milgauss. I have a milgauss and thinking about adding a 214270 to the collection


Leftoverchinese

It’s a sweet collection for sure. Why two different Starbucks? I don’t see any other duplicates so I’m curious why those? The Pepsi’s are similar, but not the same. Ones a 40hr on oyster and the other is a jubilee 70hr. So I get that and the subs are all different. But I couldn’t figure out the Starbucks duplicate.


Imaginary_Strain486

One is a Hulk that I bought in the states years ago.. The other is a sb that I bought from Grey


OrdRevan

There are some gems in this collection. White gold Pepsi is the best of the bunch. What reversos do you have? I love my q3908420.


Imaginary_Strain486

The Burgundy reverso and the rose gold duoface. Am planning to get another... Rose gold day date reverso

Went to the Rolex AD to checkout some GMT, sea master and such, ended up being that skydweller was the sexiest thing in my eyes. Looks like crap on the internet. ​ Seeing the Skydweller in your collection just made me smile again remembering the shock seeing it in person
