    No Just debt free , retired at 54 with more income than we need every month and an IRA that will likely be passed down. Four cars 12RAV 14 CRV  08Corvette, 10Tacoma. 14 Harley , and a small boat out back. Paid off home..Nothing special. I probably have less than most here, I made it my goal at 20 to retire at 55. Didn't take much starting that early. But I never had a new car until I was retired. Invested when others were selling. Took risks. Lived well below our means. 

     

    You don't need to be a millionaire to afford a gen Rolex Sub ND..Anyone who bought a $6000 car could buy one.

     

     

    Sir King Frog,

     

    Awesome you retired at 54 ! did you have a Party at Studio 54 ? lol , you Cars you say you own are reasonable to say the least........Paid off your home huh ? well done mine was paid off at 27 !  You appear to critique the Rolex Sub in your posts, might you be a tad jealous ? that you perhaps have never owned one ? Are you aware at what goes into making a Submariner at all ? as i'm beginning to think that you have no idea at all.  I calculated your Car collection at a reasonable 120K max probably less, is there a point to say you have 4 ? as i can assure you my wife's " Autobiography"if you even know what it is,  is worth double your collection of cars, then again 2 of my AP's would match your cars lol and  then again Sydney Australia isnt a cheap place too live either we pay through the nose here and .....i could post a pile of pics of my Gens also to drop you a few steps down the ladder but i wont, i could also invite you to my Home in Bellevue Hill or onto my mates Super yacht in Sydney Harbour and we could eat some Fresh Prawns and Oysters on the rear deck and drink Corona's,  but ill reserve that for my real mates on here ! who appreciate the real people in life and the fine things

     

    If you wanna play the who's got the biggest D**K here we can go down that path, and that's fine, but i can assure you there are people on here such as myself that will flame you too a cinder of carbon ! and by the way, people on here are from All walks of life ! some of us Surgeons and some are students and thats' the way we roll the dice here !

     

    Apologie's to my real friends on here ! but this thread got me Fired up ! gotta put the flam thrower out !

     

    PS Enjoy the Pic of my Wife White Gold Sub she was given on Monday for her Birthday and my Current Daily wearer the Rolex Deep sea !

    Sounds reasonably well-off. ;)

    Wealth is relative, and as long as you're financially comfortable living your lifestyle, then kudos to you mate.

    I am 38 this year, and made my first million before 30. It has been a few more millions after that. My new ride, purchased in Singapore starting of this year, probably cost more than your collection of cars put together. Remember though that I'm in Singapore. Car prices here are astronomical. The last I checked, my gen ROOs are still lying in my watch box. The problem is that I'm unsure which of the 12 are telling me the truth about time.

    My point is, we are not here to play the "bigger balls" game like what my friend Ezio eloquently pointed out, but if you do engage us down that road, you'll find yourself quite far down the line in terms of personal wealth. We are not a motley crew who'll go wow over a gen Rolex submariner. In fact, the good people at Rwg will more likely drool over a Franken one built from parts painstakingly sourced and lovingly put together. You'll likely miss this point mate. :)

    My other point is, this is not a place where you could come and snub and judge anyone just because we wear and collect reps. The people I know here are in general genuine, kind, and willing to share. I love the community and the friends I made here. A lot of us collect watches and reps are fascinating because they are getting a lot better and more accurate. Very few of us here are lying to ourselves that our watches are gen, but oh, what fun it is, this hobby!

    So let's put all this puffed-chest, I'm-rich-and-real stuff away and let's just mingle and learn. Who cares about your riches? I've got my own. So do a lot of guys I know here personally.

    But the last I checked, rwg is a place to discuss watches, and not personal assets or financial advantages. We're here to share an interest and sometimes, friendship happens. As real people, we accept and develop the friendships that we find worthy of our time. That is, to me, infinitely more real that someone who comes on and decide that he's not here to make friends. It's like the man who walks into a restaurant deciding that he's not going to eat. The question, that anyone would naturally ask, is:

    Then why is he here? :)

    So if you can put down your cloak of judgement and condescension and high-and-mightiness and learn to share openly and with humility, you'll find this place a lot better than you think, and the people a lot more matured, knowledgable and real than others you'll find anywhere else.

    You're welcome here sir, but leave the pride at the door.

    WOW i was sent a text today from Mr A ( LEGEND ) about this Post , ill side with Legend on this, and only say a few words here, Kingfrog you seem to be a Troll of some description, not sure why your here boasting about wealth ??? maybe not at the Wealth level you think you are ? as you seem too need to sprout it.

     

    If you hung around for awhile and didnt talk absolute Rubbish you'd probably make a friend or 2 maybe even 3 sir ! One thing i've learn't over many years, is that those that boast about wealth continuously usually have Jack [censored] !  If you want to Porn your wealth around here i'm not stopping you, but let me assure you, there are way's to do it with abit more dignity......and you may get some #respect ! then again after 3 pages, its probably cement shoes for you !

     

    I want to blow torch you also but i really cant be bothered ! and i for one don't care for your wealth either, i have my own as much my true friends on here also do themselves.

     

    I can also back my Brother in Singapore 100% oh and yeah , my wife's car is worth more than you collection also, and im with Alvin i dunno which of my 10 Gens can tell the time or date either as they rarely get worn ! So kudos Brother to your wealth im very impressed not !

     

    and oh, Mr A has alot of Manners too as for me ? not so much but that's a product of my life and things ive done !

     

    And as i said enjoy RWG or perhaps leave, if you rethink your comments the door maybe might remain open.

     

    Cheers

  15. Any recommendations for decent modding of Rolex DSSD

    Hmm however somehow after looking at the first photo for a few times, the bezel alignment is not placed correctly or slainted? Have emailed the TD about it and TD replied angle of photo. Now waiting for another photo with a straighter angle to make sure the bezel is okay.

    Concerned as it might affect the modding process

     

    Just remember the Crystal is domed mate :) illusions can appear that arent there

    I don't get the ap hype. They are beautifully finished but it so unbelievable when wearing one....And isn't that what it is all about in rep world? Unless you are a famous movie star or football player stepping out of a 2014 Bentley I would call you out immediately.

    Never judge a book by its cover mate, one client of mine rides a pedal scooter and is very wealthy he runs around with a 44mm gold Ap try and call him out ! Especially in a singlet and jeans and thongs......
