Haha before it drops to $18k, there will already be a lot of takers at $20k before you…… haha

Nowadays see a lot of youngster buy and wear watches $30k upwards
 

thinking back, i have never bought nor worn a single watch which was valued more than 1% of my networth.  Thats the same rule of thumb till today.

I think it would be ridiculous for me to buy and wear a $300k patek.  Like kinda CMI and very wannabe.   Thats my take, feel free to have yours.

yah man....that's why ask me to pay $35k for a green sub, my tooth also pain..

that also begs the question if we are able to afford it....but to me, even if i can afford it, i still feel is not worthwhile to pay that much...maybe 10-15% above retail would be comfortable....but 150% above retail.....hhhmmm...

also, at my age, no need to show ler.....tshirt, bermudas and sandals everyday........even while flying, I am on bermudas as it's very comfortable on the plane....

Simple life, Zen.   Best.  I am working towards that, selling my Rolexes piece by piece.  Only keep 15 at most.

no more easy money, interest rates going up, crypto bubble burst

if the next debt recession is as tough as the 1997 one, then expect many prices to come down to earth, including Rolex 😁
