Happy birthday Kopassus...I hope you had a great time. But with such a beautiful looking DJ, it is hard not to be smiling from ear to ear while having a good time. Judging from your nick, I would say that you are 37. And being 37, you will not look too old wearing a Rolex. In fact it will set you apart from most 37 year olds, it will say that you have class and is able to carry it.

So...A little update.

I didn't get the sub or the GMT master (yet, hopefully by this year again) but I settled for The Datejust. I was quite surprised on how I don't look too 'old' in it Plus, I got it for my birthday..which is today.

Happy Birthday Kopassus 77

.

What a Beautiful Rolex Datejust..

Just a kind reminder that you have just taken "YOUR FIRST DOSE OF POISON". What A Wonderful POISON I would say. The second dose of POISON will be around every Watch Shop in town...

I got my first potion of poison a few years back and have not looked back since. Now I own about half a dozen rolex.

Dont worry about the price depreciation of your watch as you would have gained plenty of Wonderful Experience, Self Esteem, Exclusiveness, Status over the next few years wearing your ROLEX. These valuable experience gained will be worth every ringgit you spent on your first ROLEX.

Cheers.

It's not actually brand new bought it from a grey dealer through a relative in Indonesia. I've been saving up for a few years as well, oh the amount of indomie goreng I had to take in

grats! agree not to think of it as an investment, think of it more like a reward.

Why'd you pick a 16610? Did you contemplate getting other watches? Or maybe other Rolex models?

I've always had this thing with submariners that I just love. I did, but this is the only thing I could afford at the moment without having to eat maggi everyday for the next 2 yrs .

Firstly, watches are never really an investment. If buying new from AD, expect to lose 30% or more as soon as you walk out the door. If buying a used one from a grey dealer, you still expect to lose at least 10-15% if you regret the purchase and want to return it. Ten years later might be a different story....

Secondly, buy what you really want, not what you can afford now. If you can't really afford what you want now, keep saving, provided your rate of savings is higher than the expected rate of price increases.

Many love the Submariner Date because everywhere you read, it's the iconic Rolex. But is it iconic to you or are you just getting swayed by public opinion? And yet there are other who think the real iconic Rolex is the Submariner (without the date). And if you start seeing everyone else wearing that black Submariner Date, are you going to feel upset as just being part of the herd?

Sorry if this post gives you second thoughts but if you're still determined after reading this far, maybe the Submariner Date is for you.

I concurred.
Submariner - Youll find plenty of people have it. Being apart of the heard is not bad but for that price? unless its your third watch or so... why not

My advise, do you research, think about what you really want & take your time. Aim for pre-owned of you are on budget.

I remember the old car that I drove at 22 yo, its 2nd hand value was not even one third of Rolex.

But it's very true that youngsters nowadays are very capable and most of them pick-up new things very fast with a short learning curve.

I support you. Not everyone afford and willing to buy a Rolex.

I remember my first Rolex,I slept with it,eat with it,took bath with it for a week or two.
Oh ya I even "do it" with it

I had a sub 16610 which I just traded to a shop for a deepsea. Bought it new in 2002. It was problem free throughout my years of ownership, 1 service in between. Would recommend it as a first Rolex to anyone. Was mine too. Would have kept it but decided, after 12 years it time for an upgrade. Between the 16610 & 116610, I still prefer the 16610 for its classic looking case. I find the 116610 looking a tad too 'dress watch'. As for holding value, I traded in for a profit of RM3k. Would have been more had i been patient enough to sell it on the secondary market. I had initially planned to sell it for RM18.5k but finally traded it in for RM16k to save me the time & hassle of going through one meet to another. Hope this helps..

Go with your heart bro, for me it should be a reward and investment too. You can never go wrong with any Rolex Sub range!

lovefoe · « **Reply #146 on:** November 21, 2016, 07:46:11 AM »

After owning it for 2 years, it is time to let go as I think it is time to move on to another one.
