My first genuine Rolex... I like the watch. I hate the stigma. It's a conflict.

One thing's for sure, I do like it on an MN strap. I think I'll try rubber

Stigma? Wear it proudly.........I believe this is one of Rolex's finest designs. Great wrist presence, performance and classic Rolex look. Great at the beach or in the boardroom.

It’s only a conflict if you care what others think about you and how you live your life. Do YOU like it? Then what does it matter how the next guy feels about it?

I know you’re smarter than to fall for that B.S.

It's MY stigma that's the conflict really... I don't care what others think really, but I've had this funny feeling about Rolex being 'show-offy' by the masses for decades, and their marketing style, it just cemented that stigma in a bit better...

 

But I got it, to try again, and now I'm starting to like it. I've even got a RubberB coming in the mail... In the meantime, I just got another MN strap for it in the meantime!

Congrats! Enjoy it. A nice thing too is that they sometimes appreciate in value. And, at the very least, they can always be resold and hold value. And in this day and age that isn’t a bad thing.

When we were going to get married my wife asked what gen watch I wanted. I said Tudor Heritage Black Bay. Value for dollar, ya know? She vetoed that and got me a GMT Master II. I’m always grateful she didn’t listen to me lol
