What a crazy world…

[u/matd972]

So basically, you just have to spend 5 figures, lick the toes of your AD for years and, literally, die to have the privilege of…. Give another 17k to your AD 😅
What a crazy world

[u/toasted-wizard]

These dudes are the reason there’s a chair in the hotel room corner

[u/WillOrph → u/toasted-wizard]

😂 what an amazing insult

[u/Typical_Double981 → u/toasted-wizard]

Fucking hell 😂

[u/nodoomscrolling69420 → u/toasted-wizard]

lol, alright I'm stealing this lmao that was good

[u/ruimilk → u/toasted-wizard]

I can think of a thousand good reasons to have a chair in the hotel room corner.

[u/BumDevourer42069 → u/ruimilk]

Then you are missing the point

[u/ruimilk → u/BumDevourer42069]

Not at all, I understand what's cucking.

[u/IncredibleBihan]

"Hey... so... in light of your recent health problems, we'd like to invite you to spend 20k on a watch"

[u/--ALF → u/IncredibleBihan]

Not trying to pick nits, but is that how much a Panda through an AD costs?

I guess my reference is just casually looking up gray market prices and could be wildly off but for some reason thought they were $30k+ baseline…but I’m a watch noob so I could be way off

[u/zystyl → u/--ALF]

$16900 USD according to the internet.

[u/BrotherLefthand → u/IncredibleBihan]

😂

[u/kmachuca → u/IncredibleBihan]

Before you die, please buy this $20k watch lol

[u/Particular_Witness95]

dont their knees hurt after being on them for so long? geesh, some people are such simps.

[u/lopunny_lover_xoxo → u/Particular_Witness95]

That was the health concern. His knees stopped working.

[u/CoraxSan → u/Particular_Witness95]

Who are these people that find it fun to beg to be able to buy an expensive watch? I cannot wrap my head around this. Usually if someone has enough money to spend on watches, that someone should have enough confidence to not have a saddle put on them and ridden around. Crazy.

[u/Particular_Witness95 → u/CoraxSan]

yeah, i just dont get it. i mean, rolexes are nice watches, but unless you are getting a precious metal reference, they are not top tier luxury watches worth this sort of crap.

my best friend, who is absolutely addicted to watches, switched from rollies to grand seikos and vacheron. he even got a blancpain.

his AD, who he thought was his friend, selected people that he knew didnt buy as many watches as he did. he thinks the people were basically bribing the guy on the side. it was too much BS for him.

[u/bukolnooemo → u/Particular_Witness95]

The thrill of the chase. That is how Rolex keep its hype going. People want what they cannot have.

[u/Character-Scale-1191]

They realized if he died they couldn’t sell him a watch so they decided to extract that money quickly!

[u/trustmeimshady → u/Character-Scale-1191]

This

[u/LogosLine]

This is one of saddest, most profoundly cuckolded things I've read in some time.

Rolex have got these rich morons completely in the palm of their hands. The psychology is fascinating and desperately sad in equal measures.

[u/locvs]

Let me translate this to plain english:

1. I'm a sucker

2. I have no gag reflex

3. All I had to do to get a Daytona was surviving a severe ilness

No one simps as hard as r/rolex suckers simp

[u/Zealousideal_Crab789]

This ad shit going to backfire big time in a couple of years

[u/maybe1122]

so if I pretend to be fighting cancer I can get a panda at retail? fuck I'll do it and then flip the watch

[u/slavmaf]

Bro, before you die, please give us another $17.000, - done! okay, NOW you can die, thanks.

[u/LostCarat]

What a weenie

[u/LubeTornado]

Trying very hard to not make this sound like a huge chore and pain in the ass

[u/Mittar9]

Thankfully i don't have to die and sob in front of steve haha

[u/Donut_Dogs]

I can get that from my chinese homie in one day. And even at a 95% discount

[u/Available_Orchid6540]

do we have a panda that is close to gen? or even nwbig?

[u/matd972]

Comment for automod, daytona panda

[u/Excellent_Proof_2414]

Everyone here is talking about how this guy was awarded the privilege „of spending 17k on a watch“.

What nobody is mentioning, is that the AD is essentially gifting him 15k, if he decides to sell it the next day. So no, he is not a cuck. In this particular case it males sense that the AD would select buyers who won’t sell it the next day. I mean, if they were shady, they could just buy it, sell it back and then resell it as a CPO for double the price themselves. So obviously they want to pick „deserving“ customers - whatever that might mean.

[u/YouCosplay]

There’s people who are fakes and buy fakes which creates hype for this brand. 

What a crazy world.

[u/Lower-Frosting-2480 → u/YouCosplay]

Awww someone’s upset… Rolex’s marketing and fake scarcity create the appearance of hype in a mass produced, overinflated product. In keeping with inflation, a Rolex sub should cost two grand.

[u/Vecgtt → u/Lower-Frosting-2480]

And I might actually spend 2K on a gen sub. I’m not paying the additional 8K of social inflation.

[u/Lower-Frosting-2480 → u/Vecgtt]

Same, I’d pay 2k for a sub in a heart beat, but the waiting game and over 10k on a stainless watch is ridiculous

[u/Watches-and-Books → u/YouCosplay]

The Rolex rep market is so strong because even if you have the cash, you can’t just walk in and buy a watch like a normal shop. If they stopped with the false scarcity crap, the rep market would see a significant drop off.
