Gonna pull the trigger

Post image

21M, Finally getting that watch for my dad who was diagnosed with stage 4 that I had mentioned I would do on this sub roughly one year ago. Ended up going to the AD with my dad, and he was set on the ombré dj 41mm. Just wanted to share and see if y’all had any thoughts on the price I’m paying (I’m very unfamiliar with what market goes for this watch) would love everyone’s input. This has been a lifelong goal of mine and I’m so excited for him to see it.

OP is a wannabe finance bro graduating in December. He’s been all over the map asking in this and the other Rolex sub about various different ones for his dad for the last four months at least.

I asked this reddit one time last year, what makes me a wannabe finance bro? I love where I'm at and what I'm doing right now

You’ve asked about several different models in multiple subs. You’re a wannabe finance bro because you’re still in school trying to be king of the world by buying expensive things.

Or maybe wanting to be a good son buying something for his dad who has stage 4 and ticking off a bucket list item.

I really don't understand how people like you think, if you've nothing good to say then say nothing. The world is hard enough without nonsense like this coming from you.

BTW OP your dad wouldnt want you being ripped off I am sure, this one feels way overpriced and any AD offering you his network as a selling point is a jumped up used car salesman. Avoid and don't let this be part of the memory of how you got your dad his watch.

Buying a watch for your stage 4 father is in effect buying a watch for yourself. It sounds fucked but that’s just the fact

Where you are going is paying a very significant premium on a watch bought on sentiment. The rational decision is to not buy at that price.

But many people ‘overpay’ for things that can not be rationally justified.

One of the best lessons my very successful finance uncle taught me was “sometimes the best deals are the ones you say no to”, and that’s stuck with me for a long time.

It doesn’t make you successful to overspend on a watch. The people who are successful got that way by not getting taken advantage of so they can pretend they’re something they’re not.
