My old man has a submariner from 1967 (got it for his 21st) He says he has worn it about 10 times in total and is still in pristine condition in the box with receipts and certificates.
He won't sell as it was a present from his late Mum and Dad (my grandparents) Lovely looking thing which I will no doubt inherit (and won't sell)

Bought a Sea Dweller in 1990 and sold it 10 years later for what I’d paid for it.
Enquired about a new one this week and there’s a 2 year waiting list, hindsight is a wonderful thing.....

Hassle?
The submariner is an undeniable classic. Not fussed myself, but Tudor is the worst of both worlds imo.

Have a mate who deals used, mostly Swiss watches. Like Tudor atm, the Black Bay is like a cheaper Rolex-lite without all the hassle that goes with Rolex. Part of the Rolex company originally??

MATE only deals in the brand new Rolex releases... manages to nab them somehow (normally you go on a waiting list or something??)... all over my head if I am being honest.... I'm happy with my moody sekonda

Most people I know who are into fancy watches don't touch Rolex. Too populist and vulgar seems to be the prevailing mentality.
Hublot are popular, as well as perennial favourites like Patek Phillipe, IWC, Audemars etc.
Ulysse Nardin seem to be one of the main ones that those who wish to display their wealth are going for at the moment.

My best MATE trades them as a hobby.... makes a bit... he is a multi millionaire which helps mind you... think last time we spoke about them he had a good 20 or so

All the people I know who have a Rolex have to tell everybody about it and how much it costs. Fuck all to do with telling you the time, they are saying I have lots of money, or at least more than you.....
