I’ve always been a bit of a watch guy, but I never really thought about dropping serious cash on one until recently. I mean, a watch is a watch, right? But then I started seeing these rose gold Rolexes popping up, and man, they just looked so slick. I started thinking, maybe it’s time to treat myself.
So, I started doing some digging. Turns out, buying a Rolex isn’t just about telling time, it is kind of a big deal. People talk about them like they’re investments. I read somewhere that they hold their value really well, especially the rose gold Yacht-Master. It’s like, Rolex is known for quality and all that fancy stuff, so people always want them, even the used ones. It is wild.
And get this, I found out that even an old Rolex, like 20 years old, can be just as good as a new one. They use the same tech and everything. Some people even say the older ones are worth more because they’ve got history. Who knew, right?
Now, I ain’t made of money, so I was also looking at other brands. I saw this one brand, Tudor, that’s supposed to be like a cheaper Rolex. They look pretty similar, but they don’t cost as much. I was tempted, I gotta admit. They’ve got some cool models like the Black Bay and the Pelagos.
But in the end, I decided to go for the real deal. I saved up for a while, and I finally pulled the trigger on a rose gold Rolex. It felt crazy spending that much on a watch, but honestly, I don’t regret it.
Wearing it just feels different. It’s heavy, it’s shiny, and it just screams “I made it” (even though I’m still working on that part, haha). I take good care of it, obviously. Clean it regularly, keep it in its box when I’m not wearing it, the whole nine yards.
It’s more than just a watch to me now. It’s a reminder to keep pushing myself, to aim for the best. Plus, it’s a pretty sweet conversation starter.
- If you are considering a Rolex, do your research.
- Think about what you want and what you can afford.
- And don’t be afraid to treat yourself every now and then.
My tips:
It is not for everyone, that is for sure. But if you are on the fence, I say go for it. You only live once, right?
