Was debating it. My daughter has a Rolex and has a G-Shock as her beater... Problem is the size for me. I have like 6.5-6.75 inch wrist felt big. Ended up getting a Seiko 007 with new straps as a beater. And I could possibly swap out for domed crystal since they can mod the Seiko. Separately trying to get my buddy to sell me his Omega Seamaster for $600 when he goes to get his new to him Patek, watch... since trade ins typically are low balled. . |

Rolex makes a great watch, but their artificially created scarcity keeps the prices high, and is one of the reason I have stayed away from buying any recently. This whole SS Sport Model scarcity is entirely for rolex to keep themselves viewed as an elite and rare watch.
so annoying. on the plus side, i can sell just about every rolex i have for profit right now if the need arises. |

I started with an entry level tag when I finished grad school, ten years later - I was looking between the PAM and a BLBR GMT, went with the PAM since I knew I'd be buying a Rolex at some point in my life.
I'm loving the PAM but I'm bigger guy. I had a strap made for it from an Einfield WWII Ammo Pouch, looks sharp feels great. |

Even if you look at the prices from this time last year to now, you are looking at a 1-2k jump on most basic SS models. Quote:

It's like saying why would I pay more for a newly manufactured 996 today than what a 996 cost back then? It isn't an collector's item and I don't see it as a "limited" watch. And since they made no changes from 2011 to now makes it seem even more as a rip off.
