There are a ton of great photos and a lot of discussion of various high end watch’s from multiple brands in this 2 1/2 year old thread that I look at occasionally. We’d lose a lot of good discussion (~500 posts) if it got dry, so I’d prefer it stay. We usually only delete threads related to spammers.

Chip, do not delete the thread.

Yeah, I think it's a great thread for folks facing the same difficult choice or wanting to be a part of the journey.

I think it's great to keep these old threads. Sometimes, they just lie dormant for a while, then someone comes along and wakes them up. It's part of the fun IMO to go back occasionally and see a bit of history.

I never talk about what I earn, dad always said it was in bad taste.

Today I just invested five figures back into the stock market. For the record the stock market is down hundreds of points today. 4/6/2018

Since I sold the ceramic Daytona for $19,000.00 I decided to invest the money back into the stock market. My plan was to put the money toward the platinum Rolex Day-Date 40, but I decided to wait for more new watch dials.

My AD just called me on the phone and just offered me the Rolex platinum Day-Date 40 for $XX,XXX, after I just invested over $300,000.00 back into the stock market. Go figure. My next window of opportunity will be December, 2018 when I can shake the money tree again, dividends and capital gains.

I feel your pain. I just transferred $300 into savings and my next opportunity to buy a platinum Daytona will be when pigs fly. LOL

LOL Roger, I thought you would ban me for life from the wristwatchforums after my last post. This is my five year anniversary from being banned from the rolexforums for making a similar statement on finances.

This is my five year anniversary from being banned from the rolexforums for making a similar statement on finances. If you felt you might get banned for it then I ask this...why did you post it? Please be respectful of those who are not as fortunate as you. I’ve asked several times and would appreciate you taking it to heart.

I might not post much here, but I do look in frequently. I can't help but notice, the change in the way you now like to brag / say how much you are worth and what you can buy. I congratulate you on the fortune you have made and also on the watches you can buy. But it saddens me to see, you now refer back to getting banned from other forums. I would respectfully say, I think Roger has a good point and maybe it should be taken seriously.

Ron,
We’ve asked nicely on several occasions that you not flaunt your wealth on the forum. It’s in poor taste and we try to run a friendly and inclusive forum here. You noted above that it got you banned on TRF and thought it might get you banned here, but posted it anyway. Chip, Joe and I have talked and this can not continue.
As such, this post is an official warning - if you post about your net worth, size of capital gains or other “look how rich I am” kinds of post again, you will be banned for 90 days unless the moderator believes that it was an intentional flaunting of this warning and then it will result in an immediate and permanent ban. A second incidental infraction will result in a permanent ban.
Also, posting about discounts in a public forum could cause harm to the authorized dealer if Rolex were to become aware of the post. Please refrain from listing the specifics of discounts offered/obtained as well. As on other forums, a general comment about “I was able to get a nice discount” without being specific or naming the AD is acceptable.
We have very few written rules here and try to accommodate everyone, but we are only able to do this because most people follow generally accepted societal norms of common courtesy. We do not enjoy banning members here, so please take this written warning to heart.
This thread is being locked as well and whenever you do buy your new watch, feel free to start a new thread.
Roger
