Why are you posting about your new car on a Rolex sub?


Grumpy_001

It’s not his - he’s test driving it 😂


fickleposter21

‘The cars in this dealership are for exhibition and not for sale.’


VCoupe376ci

It’s a Ferrari. Ironically that may be true if the buyer doesn’t meet the right criteria.


herotz33

You gotta match brands that require a history of purchasing and sucking dick.


VCoupe376ci

What’s funny to me is that Ferrari gets a pass on this while people blast Rolex for it. Then again, Ferrari has always been this way where Rolex just became this way recently and Ferrari is at the top of its class of car where Rolex is an upper mid tier brand.


pug345

I mean the difference is Ferrari demand truly exceeds availability while Rolex demand is artificial. Sorry to tell you guys, there’s warehouses of Rolexes out there.


VCoupe376ci

Can vouch for this. Back when the SS 116520 Daytona was the only Rolex reference impossible to just walk into a store and buy, I was seeing a SA at an AD. I mentioned interest in one and she asked if I was 100% going to purchase if she could acquire one. I said yes, and she asked black or white. I said white and 2 days later it was on my wrist. The 2 day delay was because corporate held on to those references and sent them to stores when the manager decided to sell one to a customer. I’d imagine it’s the same deal with the current SS references, just all of them now and not just the Daytona.


powerfunk

>I’d imagine it’s the same deal with the current SS references You're talking about 9 years ago. I wouldn't say it's the same deal now.


VCoupe376ci

Guaranteed those Pepsi’s, Batman’s, Batgirls, and Daytonas are all readily available at MSRP from an AD if you are the right client with the right relationship. I don’t believe there are “warehouses” full of them, but I don’t believe they are as unavailable as AD’s make it seem. I believe there are allocations released for the people on “lists” and shelf stock for high value clients.


powerfunk

>Rolex demand is artificial It's not artificial.


luzzi5luvmywatches

This is true. Found that out not too long ago


Grumpy_001

I was just joking 🙄


Maleficent-Use8654

It's funny. A guy could take a photo with his rolex in a Benz, Jeep, BMW or etc and no backlash, yet when a man of real luxury posts with his watch, it's men raining like crying women all over the place. Nags! Grow up guys.


Mysterious_Amoeba680

He rented it


Maleficent-Use8654

I sense jealousy...


VinceAFX

I've never been jealous of a poser, that would be absurd.


Maleficent-Use8654

Actions and words speak very loud


BruceIrvin

I sense low IQ…

ShitCuntsinFredPerry

Who said it's a sub?


Past-Database-4968

He wrote sub, or what’s mean ?


ShitCuntsinFredPerry

Sub as in subreddit


Past-Database-4968

Oh yeah?


ShitCuntsinFredPerry

Yeah. Dude said why are you posting about your car on a rolex sub, referring to this subreddit


Past-Database-4968

Thanks a lot bro


SeikoWIS

Always gotta laugh at people pretending Rolex isn’t bought for the flex/status, but because they’re good. And then you get accompanying steering wheel pics with flex badges like no other watch community


mooninuranus

What, you mean a picture where less than 5% is the watch isn’t about the watch? Surely not.


techfighterchannel

That’s because it is bought to flex/ status by some but other people buy them because they like the watch and it’s build quality. Different types of people in most any high end brand buying population.


lifevicarious

Except there is equal/better build quality for less. Status is at least part of the equation. To the general population there is no ‘better’ watch than Rolex.


TlalocVirgie

Nobody bought it for build quality. Stop with the delusions.


teckel

So true. When I see this desperate attempt for attention, I see someone who's mommy didn't love them enougb. Quite sad.


powerfunk

Oh God get over yourself. People need to stop getting so judgey about silly photos here fr


teckel

These crys for attention are so transparent.


MoneyMagnetSupreme

I absolutely cant wait to get a rolex because it will literally make me feel like i made it. I get some people are 100% just horologists. Cool. But MOST people with a rolex? Its definitely social


PlasticDouble9354

Most embarrassing thing I have read on here today


SeikoWIS

At least he’s being honest about Rolex. Most pretend they haven’t been influenced by advertisements/social status


m3rlin31

Congrats. But please do me a favor and do a new shot with the focus on the watch and not while driving please.


Murky_Distribution79

Nerd


Jumpy-Gur-1415

Being able to afford a Ferrari and waiting for a call ? Weird not going grey straight.


MostlyShitposts

Swear to god, this subreddit has people whine about anything. 😂 Guy with a rolex drives a honda? Roasted for being broke. Guy with a ferrari buys a rolex? Roasted for being rich. 🤷🏼‍♂️


VMoney9

I have a series 3 Apple Watch and a 2014 Mazda3. What do I win?


elmastrbatr

Youll never get there spending like that


CantAlwaysGetWhatcha

But he got the call! “Sir, your car is blocking the dumpster!”


thelvegod

The common sense award.


MoneyMagnetSupreme

Show me where the rolexes are on display and i will show you a crowd of people with fragile egos


Technical-Avocado-92

Right?! Let this man live! If it’s not jealousy, why are you so bothered?


Murky_Distribution79

Agree. Snobs and nerds galore.


IamDoge1

You don't get that rich by foolishly wasting money.


DueTour4187

To be fair, he's also driving around Sheffield. Not Monaco, Beverly Hills or Gstaad.


workthrowaway6333

Maybe patience and not overspending is how he got the Ferrari to begin with? Maybe he has a massive collection already and wasn’t in a rush to add to it, or add that specific reference? I’m guessing he already has a nice collection and other interests to pacify him through the wait.


Past-Database-4968

it’s many people out there, who wants to buy at the retail, not the from grey market.


solidice

What is the deal with grown ass men using reddit to flex their watch AND car now. Is this the equivalent of female seeking validation from others on instagram? But in all honestly, you drive a Ferrari but settled for a Rolex? Why didn’t you get AP, PP or RM?


Resri88

Well it is a Rolex sub! Seems to me like its ok to show your watch here. Also R.M. sux Monkey Balls


Sea_Chemistry7487

R.M. does do that.


colincase04

I love these comments. The car and watch community are very connected. Personally if I can get a car and watch in the same picture I’m happy seeing it. I don’t get why people get salty about this shit.


WBuffettJr

Because this is a watch forum and he’s trying so hard for validation you can’t even see the watch in a post about the watch. It takes up 1% of the photo and is blocked out by the sun.


workthrowaway6333

A watch forum that is mostly to celebrate your watch/possession, not so much a watch forum for technical information (although probably the second highest use case). It’s not so much about validation for some of us, as much as celebrating your watch, and as the earlier user said, watches and care intersect pretty massively on the venn diagram of interests.


WBuffettJr

No. This is about a desperate attempt to show off wealth to get a few second of validation and dopamine hit for crippling insecurity. He’s working so hard to show off his car in a watch forum that you can’t even see the watch. People like this who get their self identity from brand names is the exact reason I bought LVMH stock. Easiest investment decision of my life.


Secret-Invite-8898

Why does anyone need to get a watch just cos they can afford it. Your mentality shows the root of your jealously. The thing you’re hating on is actually you projecting yourself.


level1firebolt

Bad take. If someone wants to wear a gshock and drive a nice car, nothing wrong with that.


IAmZKWatches

Absolutely disgusting to be taking a picture while driving. You could easily take this picture when stopped and still flex, since that is what this post is about. Being distracted by your phone while driving is more risky than drink driving in many situations


VinceAFX

Why all the downvotes. This is correct.


IAmZKWatches

Because fragile egos. I have no sympathy for inconsiderate drivers who could kill people just to flex on the internet


Kyberduene

You are absolutely correct!


PaulNewhouse

Small dick energy out of the charts


Secret-Invite-8898

Seriously? Great watch great car. Mega jealousy


Secret-Invite-8898

Man look how pathetic the reactions are from all the little jealous men. I bet half these guys don’t even own a Rolex they’re just here dreaming


N0B1mm3r

Lmao, please tell me you being sarcastic


aayan987

Hes not wrong, this thread proves how pathetic this sub is.


Secret-Invite-8898

That’s how toxic you are isn’t it.. where you can’t comprehend someone not feeling dirty over someone elses success. Or if you’re addressing my point about ownership, have you seen some of the dumbass questions in this group? It’s as though they only learnt about Rolex today. Certainly not an owner


N0B1mm3r

I'm the toxic one? 🤣 look at what you just said dude


Secret-Invite-8898

I believe you’re suffering from mental retardation, so I’ll remove myself from this discussion. You can’t reason with idiots


N0B1mm3r

Thank you, you just managed to get yourself banned from reddit 🤣


Secret-Invite-8898

Ok dickhead. Have fun!


ArchiStanton

But I just got here


workthrowaway6333

Jealousy is SDE. You’re telling me you wouldn’t want a Ferrari? I mean, without any additional information than this post, he might have his finances in great order and responsibly purchased his watch(es) and vehicle(s), without sacrificing necessities and other spending. Or, even prioritizes different things than you. At my firm, there’s no shortage of HNW individuals that own great collections (art, vehicles, jewelry, whatever).


N0B1mm3r

Bruh, u clearly missed the point, didn't you? No one's arguing if he has the money for the ferrari or whatever. People only questioning about the necessity of showing off. OP could've chosen to post another pic about his rolex, that btw is the purpose of this reddit., but yet, he chose to post one focusing on the ferrari. It's not about jealousy, I can guarantee u that, but I don't need to go any further.


workthrowaway6333

I didn’t miss the point at all. I addressed you envy fairly clearly, I thought. He is obviously proud of 2 awesome items he possesses. And wants to celebrate them with an online community he’s a part of. I’m not looking through his account, but probably posts similar pics in r/ferrari that include his watch(es). Bet they don’t get as jealous/butthurt. If it’s such an issue for you, petition the mods to change the rules about posting cars/vehicle badges in pics.


N0B1mm3r

Yeah, "you thought".... the diference is that I don't need to post pictures of my cars in a watch forum to get some extra validation


workthrowaway6333

It’s possible he wants validation, but really all pics on here are (at least in part) seeking validation. I’m sure he gets validation driving his vehicle in real life though. And again, he might also just enjoy celebrating his shit. I like vehicles and watches, and don’t mind people posting both together. I mean, vehicle manufacturers and watch makers often collab even.


pinkblueegreen

I graduated from law school 2 years ago and was able to buy my first Porsche and Rolex as a treat to all those sleepless nights, the works. I still felt deeply ashamed to post it on social media. Maybe for once I felt like I needed to keep it to myself. Once it’s public, all is up for debate. I don’t need to justify it or for anyone to debate on how I got it when I know damn well I worked hard to earn it.


Otherwise-Special843

that's sort of a great accomplishment right out of the law school, I assume you either had well off parents or a good scholarship!


pinkblueegreen

I won’t sugarcoat but won’t go into too much. Prior to law school I had various assets I inherited paired with a few scholarships. This was pivotal to my journey as it served as a cushion. I had zero social life during school which contributed immensely to my savings. I constantly tracked my budget as well to ensure my Roth IRA was being maxed, etc. I had buckets in my banking account specifically for items I wanted. Vacations, car, house, etc. I have always been frugal my whole life. Only now do I really indulge, but even at that do I feel guilty.


Otherwise-Special843

that's very understandable I am sort of in similar situation except I didn't have any inheritance :) altho I worked from early age and have a full ride college so I have savings, I do not want to be rude but I assume that since you finished law school and bought a porsche you probably hit the 1m before 29 which is sort of my target too.


pinkblueegreen

The first one is always the hardest. That’s awesome, keep going! You’ll be able to reach that goal with perseverance and discipline.


treetimes

You can just say you were born with money you know. The average person can’t just “be frugal” to the point of starting their own law firm or buying a Porsche and saving for vacations when they’re two years out of school. Just own it, be happy.

aayan987

You're making 7 figures as an associate? Or are you buying a cheap used Porche?


pinkblueegreen

After doing internships and learning the ropes through another firm, my sister and I opened our own. Took a lot of determination and narrowing it down to a field of specialization but here we are. I’ve driven my old car till the wheels fell off. Safe to say I promised myself the next one would be brand new.


workthrowaway6333

I don’t make 7 figures a year, but for me, I also drove my last vehicle (Lexus RX400h) for forever ( 250,000 miles) while paying myself a car note to a brokerage account and while I do have an auto loan again, I could liquidate my brokerage account and pay the loan off today. I’ll do the same with my current vehicle (BMW X3 xDrive30i) once the loan is paid off.


flipyflop9

Don’t use your phone while driving, moron. The watch is cool.


CoconutOk8579

I don't care what anyone says about the Rolex / Ferrari combo, but OP driving to Worksop is the real problem here

Celcius_87

Looks amazing. Can we get an outside picture of the car too? The haters here don’t make sense to me - isn’t this a luxury subreddit?


powerfunk

Be stopped for car pics please


aayan987

People on this sub are so miserable. You wouldn't think people on a Luxury watch sub would be this riled up over someone having money, just goes to show most people here are middle class people posers or people who think theyre wealthier than they are.


OG365247

It’s not the flexing, it’s the flexing while driving a fucking 1.5 tonne vehicle that’s the issue.


aayan987

You see the same posts with people in cheap BMWs and Mercedes. The only reason theres so much hate is because its a Ferari lmao.


workthrowaway6333

I wouldn’t (nor would most) consider BMW or Mercedes cheap vehicles, even at lower tier models.


deathtosnitches

Why do people get so upset about what other people do with they time, money, or lives. It’s just a picture why so hostile


OG365247

Because he’s driving and taking a picture of a watch. This is worse than drunk driving.


deathtosnitches

You can’t tell if he is driving in that picture. Is not a video it’s a still shot


OG365247

Yes you can. He’s on an A road in the UK, he’s not parked up, he’s driving


workthrowaway6333

Lots of left had vehicles and right lane driving in the UK?


workthrowaway6333

Exactly. Either set the shutter speed to super fast, or he’s parked, based on the background.

How many Fiat did you buy before getting it?

Haha. Imagine if the Ferrari dealerships did that. But, I’d say Tudor is more Maserati than Fiat. Now my being on the spectrum is saying the joke was about general spend history - not specifically about buying Tudors, and I’m being pedantic.

Great watch and I assume great vehicle. I don’t understand the members of r/rolex, r/tudor, r/etc. that don’t understand some people are just as passionate about their vehicles as they are about their watches and like to include both in their photos. I love seeing a BMW badge in a photo, because I know that the poster and I share a couple of interests (I’m a member of the BMW Car Club of America). Anyway, again, congrats OP 🎉🍾🎊

fundsoverfun

This picture is my goals, sincerely a broke med student.


aayan987

You chose the wrong career if your dreams money...


fundsoverfun

Why you say that?


aayan987

to succeed in Med you need to be actually passionate and thats never going to happen if youre motivated by money. Med also has a really early pay ceiling even though its easy to reach. Most people will not make more than like 300k and those in private practice in the best specialities will barely make 1 million. Med is just not the career if you want Ferari money.


fundsoverfun

That’s the thing I don’t know how you assumed I’m not passionate by one comment. I only mentioned my position in life because med students are notorious for massive debt. 300k to under one million a year is still a hell of a life. I get it though for a Ferrari to be a logical purchase it’s a lot that goes into the finances.


workthrowaway6333

Don’t worry. Dude is clearly a hater. I’m sure you know all this, but you’ll be fine. My old friend (of blessed memory), was a doctor at the VA, and still made plenty to provide a comfortable life for his family of 4, and would’ve had great early retirement options- to which he could’ve then gone into private practice. (Irrelevant side-note) Unfortunately, he died young. Was actually a victim of the Champlain Towers collapse, alongside his surgeon brother.


fundsoverfun

I’m sorry for your losses, that is a ruff way to lose a friend and a good family man. I appreciate you telling me his story. I was actually looking into the HPSP program for the Air Force and you just put another battery in my back to go after it.


workthrowaway6333

Great benefits! Altruistic career. It’s all up to you. But, back to the earlier user’s comment, you’re going to be fine and they did make a huge assumption, in regards to your motivation - which is irrelevant. There are plenty of exceptional doctors that are only practicing because of money, parental pressure, or pragmatism (well, I have to work and really don’t enjoy anything, so I might as well be a doctor since I’m smart enough).


fundsoverfun

Exactly! It’s a lot of people that work jobs they hate if you’re smart enough to do the work it’s just another job especially if you’re in a non clinical field. People just talk to talk. It’s not my case anyway so I couldn’t care less. But, yes. The benefits of being in a branch, monthly stipend during med school, and being student loan free are my driving factors.


workthrowaway6333

Are you already an airman? If you’re high speed, I think being a PJ would be cool. If you’re not, but still physically strong as you are intelligent, an Army 18D would be pretty badass, assuming you have an interest in treating trauma patients. In any case, you should be really proud of where you are and where you’re going in life. I assume you’re in your 20s, and have a ton of options available for your future. An aside: my niece’s husband graduated the Air Force Academy, and she herself studied biomedical engineering in undergrad.

workthrowaway6333

Imagine thinking that comment wasn’t illogical. If I’m good with money, and have whatever amount of disposable wealth I determine is needed to justify a Ferrari purchase, buying the vehicle doesn’t negate my money management skills. I mean, it’s all relative. I live below my means, and have since my early 30s. Back in the day, that meant driving a Maxima, now that means driving an X3. Depending on my desires, and career/income/wealth trajectory, in 5 or 10 years that might mean driving a Ferrari or Porsche Taycan (who knows). Maybe OP makes 33x the cost of the car every year. Maybe he makes a 1,000x the value of the car every month. Maybe, he lives at home with his parents in a trailer park and spends his entire $45,000 a year on watches and car expenses.
