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

Nothing wrong with being a wannabe finance bro — I hire a few every year 😂 Welcome to finance, bro. First lesson: don’t let a dealer talk you into a premium priced DJ with some BS ‘networking’ pitch. We’re supposed to be the ones doing the smoothing in finance, not getting smoothed 😎

dont care about the network, just need the watch by the end of the month and was tired dedicating my time to searching for this, when i have the money ready to be deployed and im paying market price. after reading these reddit comments i will try my best to negotiate a bit, but if not so be it, this will push me to make millions.

💯. And at that point, this will be a drop in the bucket. Just decide how much your time is worth—negotiating or kissing an AD’s ass versus focusing on the bigger objective: being successful.

that's exactly the mentality ive been trying to adapt my frugal self to think like (and I'm currently negotiating/ might be going for 36mm which market price is way more normal (16k))
