Nos

[Harry-57]

If you bought it to admire I'd put it in an anti reflective glass case on a pedestal and fit the room with some of those hitech alarm systems you see in movies. Or wear it. Or sell it.

Have a NOS Sd4k and think of pealing off the stickers any day :)

Go ahead, your stickers are not original anyway so enjoy wearing it

I think now I've heard it all. Packaging tape to protect the stickers which are there to protect the watch? Please, just invest in the stock market or somewhere else, sell the watch to someone who truly wants a watch for what it is meant for, can wear it, and who enjoy it. This is part of the reason demand is outpacing supply because some people buy watches and don't even wear them. Sorry for the rant, but I just don't get it.

I never really understood having a stickered watch in the safe and not wearing it. That being said, you will lose some value. Do you intend to sell it? If not, who cares. If you do, sell it now, and buy a used watch in a nice condition, save yourself some money.

This post isn’t about the joy and pride of owning a nice watch. It’s about everything wrong with with a segment of the contemporary watch buying public.

Rolex are collectibles like it or not. Some people like to buy them like baseball cards. Just because most of us prefer to open our toys and play with them doesn’t mean the guy who buys a 10 year old NOS Rolex is hurting your ability to get a Rolex of which there are millions and millions out there to choose from.

We don’t shun car collectors with 20 cars who only drive some of them.

Please
And i do appreciate the responses

Part of the watch addiction is irrational anyway

Based on some of these posts I'd just give the watch to my wife and she would wear it and I can be logical.
The Daytona wears small and frankly I need a date and I'm not timing a boiled egg to perfection either.
.

Stop putting logic where there is none.

Not to sound snobbish but please.
The stickers and the anguish please me in some sort of demented way and you are my enablers.

I just need you to be there.responding in various ways that make me chuckle

Haha, I get it, maybe you just needed to name it to let the feeling pass..

Thank you kindly

The main problem is a LOT of Daytona's were bought as investments. So there are many pristine examples and the market is very competitive. The aftermarket prices have dropped 15-20% in the last year or so. If you like the watch and plan on keeping it, I'd just wear it (or give it to your wife).

These NOS watches also trade many hands and to avoid handling marks a transparent cling wrap is applied. You will not understand because collectors are a different breed

Anyways most people who have NOS and really want to wear can easily buy the same model which is used. Like its so easy to buy a used Sd4k but how many can you find NOS ? Its a fun hobby no real need for 'rants' lol

Rolex hoarding... brings shame to family
