  • Unnecessary luxury choice problem.

  • I'd be mad like hell if I'd lose it, for a lifetime, but I'll live. I hate notifications of my phone so no smartwatch please. I can't return it but might be able to sell without loss. I think I want it but have trouble picking cornflakes, choices are hard for me. I can get it secondhand but it's gonna cost more secondhand. 😁 Loved the questionnaire. 🙏🏻

  • I get that the whole Rolex thing is exactly that: a whole thing. Most of it is just the way of money, people, ... etc. But I figure it's what it is. For a simple worker like me that's the Rolex experience. If I was a famous soccer player I'm sure it will be a whole other experience. I've had pleasant contacts, but also a whole bunch of bad experiences with Rolex A.D's. But for me the biggest selling point of Rolex (the watch) over a nice microbrand is that I'm buying it for me and my offspring. And because of the volumes and the track record I'm pretty sure my kid in the future will (almost) always be able to fix it or sell it for a decent price when they dislike watches. At least that's what I hope. There's better watches with better tech etc. but the slow moving pace of Rolex is also what guarantees the longevity of it. For me the bigger price is good because it forces me to not buy a shitload of watches. Like I can't just buy what I like, I have to reallllly think about it. I feel like I'm already not wearing the watches I own enough. (another reason not to buy lol) And the DJ41 is a nostalgic thing for me. If I think of Rolex that's the watch I remember from when I was 'little'. But you're right. I am unsure but that's my baseline. Going next days to see a TT DJ36 brown and then the DJ41 and then I'll have to make a decision. Fucking watches he.

  • Perfect size for me is 38-39 (i.e. Tudor BB58). That said if I wear smaller for a while, I'm used to that, but wearing bigger a while and I'm accustomed to that. 47mm lug to lug is my maximum, so in that case it works. I have a few watches so this should be a perfect one to justify it's purchase. But a perfect watch doesn't exist. I know there's not really an answer to my question, but I'm glad with your response. I have a bad time choosing anything let alone this purchase.
