50 Daytona’s .

You were there at every purchase , not withstanding some were done over the phone.

Now he’s bought thousands of Rolex watches at Authorised Dealers.

Ha ha , I’ve read some tripe on here over the years but this is right up there with the best.

Let's make it 100k and I will dig out all the receipts etc

If I cannot produce at least 2,000 receipts for rolex purchases with corresponding bank statements to show I'm not just showing some third person's purchases, I give you £100k

If I can, you give me £100k

Money goes to a solicitor to hold while receipts are verified.

If you're not interested, you are the pussycat bully. Put up the money. Or kindly stfu.

When was your friend buying these Daytona's?

I bought an unworn, 3 month old Daytona, from Dom Hackett in 2014 for list price.

[Tony1963]

Daytonas. Please.

Thank you

Exactly that period. Started around 2012 ish. He bought a Hulk at -20% from an AD in sept 2012. Documentary proof available.

Went on for maybe 3-4y. 2013 was the golden year of at least 50 Daytonas

2016. Some bloke on a watch forum announced a Patek AD offered him a 5711 but he didn't want it. Did anyone want it direct from AD at 16k. Unworn etc. This dude bought it. (Any haters, documentary proof available....for a small fee which is negotiable)

The world has changed a lot. The Gram makes watches popular with people staring at them all day. But I cannot fathom where the money is coming from to pay ever increasing prices.

I'm a skint junior doctor. Even with 2.1% pay rise, it will be a very long time before my salary affords me a current Rolex, even entry level.

[JeffreyD]

Out of interest, why would you have receipts and bank statements for someone else's purchases?

[MrJuice]

I don't want to say. Apologies.

If you are also hating, I'll go 200k for you after I've doubled my original 100k.

This is great. 100k------>400k. Just like that

Any other haters/takers?

Gosh.

If I talk about these purchases too much, it might affect the purchaser. I don't want that for them. But if I have 100,000 reasons to talk, then obviously I will.

Lockdown, innit.

Loving your work, so keep on keeping on.

A skint junior doctor that can raise £100k to deposit with a solicitor to settle a discussion about Rolex watches his mate has allegedly bought and will let him have access to all the relevant paperwork.

You need help.

I suppose one man's 100k is another man's tenner.

In the spirit of the thread I was pissed in The Royal Exchange at Bank around 2011 and I met a very attractive young girl I sort of knew on the stairs down to the toilet.

Transpired she moved to London for a job at Boodles and we went into the shop for a chat and Champagne. I was offered a BNIB Nautilus. For some bizarre reason I said no.

I kick myself on a regular basis, for not buying it and for at least not trying to shag her.

I bet anyone 100k to prove me a liar.

[anonymous-user]

Normally people on PHs make a £10 or maybe £100 bet but it doesn’t happen often.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone challenge someone else to a £100,000 bet before and then we have it happening twice in one evening.

This Rolex thread has really turned to a load of old cringey bks.

If I'm a fantasist, you'll be 100k richer. Once you're ready, do tell me which solicitor you've chosen for the wager. I can't wait to take your money.

So are you a skint junior doctor or do you have 100k on the hip?

[ddom]

Is it time to talk about watches, instead of this bks?

Yes.

I've been interested in watches since the 90s and even when you could pop into any dealer and get a steel sports watch more or less on demand the prices kept rising.

So that's bubble that's lasted at least 25 years.
