[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About a month ago I stopped into the jeweler our family does business with to put my name on a list for a Rolex. The plan was to give it to my son on his 16th birthday in March of 2027. Friends told me it can take a while to get one. Out of the blue I got a call this weekend. The watch arrived Friday afternoon. Am I crazy to give it to him for his 15th birthday?[/quote]

This must be a joke.  I hope it is. [/quote]

Well ... you don't have to put your "name on a list for a Rolex." You can walk into Lenkersdorfer at the mall and come out with one. No one is going to tell you "it can take quite a while to get one." It isn't a teal crocodile Birkin or something. So yeah, either a joke or invented for some purpose other than laughs. [/quote]

[b]Those Rolex watches in the case aren’t for sale. Give it a shot. Let us know how it works out. [/b]Maybe they’ll sell you an Explorer, or an Air King, but a Submariner gains about $2,000 in value as soon as you walk out of the store with it.[/quote]

I don't know how this works but my DH who has an IWC, Blancpain, Panerai and a few others (don't ask me, I am not into watches...) always kind of scorned entry level Rolex but they have to be making something these "watch guys" are now into because I have had to suffer outside multiple stores in NYC where it is basically a watch man convention hoping to get one and seems like you can't unless you have a significant buy history with them previously.  So, idk seems stupid as hell to me like the Birkin thing, but there is something beyond the entry level luxury watch thing these "connoisseurs " are looking for. I could ask but I care so little I don't care to hear a watch saga.

Oh, I'd never in a million years buy one for a teen. I regularly remind my kids they are poor. They live at the mercy of our benevolence and have everything one could possibly need and most of what they want. They can fund their Rolex fund but it will be a cold day in hell before we gift something like that for existing.[/quote]
