You can't get one, you don't want one. Not a problem. Many more want them because they can't get them. They may be plebs, but lets face it it is a bit silly to spend all them thousands just to tell the time!
No, I did want one, I actually offered a choice of three that I would be happy with. I have been fobbed off to the point where I will spend my money elsewhere.As for the silly bit ! Really ? I suppose you drive a C1 ? or perhaps ride a cheap bike ?

& given the choice between Porsches & a range rover, I normally take the ahsmatic Fiat 500.
yes it's silly.....Oppo said:
Rob has ASDA SAVER food in all his cupboards and wipes his arse with TESCO VALUE toilet paper. But silly to spend money on food and paper when you throw both down the lavvy.
Rob has russian supermarket food in his cupboard & wipes his arse with russian bog roll. He pays very little for either. However he does do silly & un-necessary things with the money that's left & has no problem saying so.

I’d have been tempted to load the credit cards!
Haha, yeah... all lovely watches but none a spec that I would really want. Daytona I would only want a steel version. The Yacht Master sizes not ideal. Very nice though... the platinum looked great. The Yacht 2 doesn’t interest me but a very impressive watch. Black/gold sub very tempting mind. Great to see a shop window like that. A shame it isn’t a normal sight.

Oh yes it is... sensible practical purchase drive sensible practical sales approach....... emotional aspirational "silly" purchase drives emotional aspirational "silly" sales approach.
Rubbish.Can you imagine Rolls Royce telling you you are not able to buy one of their cars.
Oh and have a look at Timex Q re-issue watches. Or Seiko Alpinists, already selling at a premium and both cheap as chips.

& yet other car companies do exactly this.......Can you imagine Rolls Royce telling you you are not able to buy one of their cars.

& the marketing trick remains the same for Timex & Seiko....
I don't get why people get so worked up about it. You can't get something thats limited in supply without paying a premium & people get upset. Paying the money Rolex ask for a watch to tell the time is still silly by the way. If I put my rolex down for a few days, it stops. My cheap battery watch will still be going!

Because people with gaping chasms of emptiness in their lives, or a self-induced crappy life, enjoy getting wound up over nothing. Tony1963 said:

kers and can piss right off.
Total joke. The mass produce watches and won't sell you one to make them appear exclusive.. They are treating customers like plebs.
As I said, am buying a nice Seiko, but in 3 yrs I'll be looking at a big money watch, which was a Day Date, now I'm not so sure.
Im sure Rolex are heartbroken. kers and can piss right off.Total joke. The mass produce watches and won't sell you one to make them appear exclusive.. They are treating customers like plebs.

Don't let people wind you up on a watch forum. It's a waste of time.
