price of a rolex

[walkerwek1958]

Exactly Paul. Ally’s comment is crass and intended to get a reaction and cause an argument as usual.

His follow-up is even worse, he's not worth arguing with.

[Suds]

Not round these parts a car is a must for most people a watch isn't.if someone asked me how much my watch was id be too embarrassed to tell them a few years ago I would.as it was obtainable not new

I don't actually think we disagree Tilly - there are times when money is tight and luxuries take a back seat. I live in a semi rural area where cars are also needed. But someone can buy a cheaper car and buy a watch on finance (or save up) if that is their priority. We're talking Rolex new or used - doesn't have to be a Daytona just like people don't have to buy an E class Merc or 5 series BMW.

is the price of rolex getting to much for the working man or women

No.

I can't continue reading this thread. I'm a spelling and punctuation policeman and quite frankly, Tilly is looking at a 10 stretch when I catch the little blighter.

GO BACK TO SCHOOL, man !!!

Very sad thing to say .not everyone with kids are on benefits.thay are mostly hard working people.do you have a problem with people with children.ho and by the way did your parents give your child benefit away.l think not sir so your in that club.of benefit club.anyway this is about watchis

One of the problems with kids these days is that they neither can shpell nor use correct grammerz and that should be the priority for any sound minded parent, not the price of Relax.

While I understand the point of the original question, “working man or woman” is vague. Class structures have very much changed. Working/middle/professional/upper... do they really exist any more.
If, for example, we say for a family person on the average industrial wage then I would probably say yes, Rolex is too expensive.

Any f*****' thing will do, just make it legible !

Yes way have I upset you it's about watchis I'm not the one going off the subject I'm just answering you back in the same manner that put in post

[MartynJC (UK)]

I don’t know where that data came from but it seems cr*p to me. I remember getting £6K for my first ‘real’ annual salary in 1986. Which throws that right out.

My Dad bought a Air-King-Date in 1978 for £250.00 and he was a professional scientist and not sure but that was probably at least a months wages.

Here’s the graph I recently saw

Do keep up your own line of trolling ahem.. thought if you actually have one.. You've asked:-

is the price of rolex getting to much for the working man or women

and the answer is yes, if they can't afford for themselves and for their children a basic education.

I'm not trolling.the subject was watch related.no about having kids and benefits that's trolling anyway goodbye end off subject for me thanks for your input

[snowman]

Average salary is supposedly around 27k.

4k is a possibility, if you really value a watch above other things.

In reality, most people don't...

If I were a betting man I’d say the misspelling is intentional. My money is on this thread being a wind-up.

Where can I buy these "Watchis" thingies which everyone is talking about?

Gollum most likely - unless Bilbo Baggins has still got it

I was actually going to ask this too.

Tilly, I genuinely struggle to read and comprehend your posts. Do you perhaps know someone who could proof read prior to pressing the submit button?

Pity, I was looking forward to the part where we would discuss how proletariat would dictate price of Rolex and other luxury goods after snap GE.

A basic education (School) is free in this country.

Clearly it failed in the case of our new member, so perhaps joining English language forum and arranging some sort of private English lessons should be a top priority?

Everyone makes their own choices in life. I don’t feel one bit sorry for anyone who spews out child after child and then bleats about not being able to afford a fancy wrist trinket.

I have a child and even I get sick of the way they're played as some kind of trump card by people over and over as though they're being disadvantaged by the world because they have to pay for them - like they're doing the world a favour filling it up.

Everyone has one life of which they can do with as they please. If you work hard, you unequivocally can attain almost anything you wish, but that will always come with sacrifices in some other area.

Get over it.

[NikGixer750]

To be fair its not just rolex, price points have gone up massively over the years for most of the watch brands. I got a steelfish as my first nice watch about 12 years ago for around £1300 (I think) now an entry level Breitling or Omega would be around the £2k mark.

[davida]

Giving up drinking has given me the means to afford a Rolex or two over the years. It's all about life choices. The last thing I'd do if I couldn't afford one is whine about it on a forum.
If you're truly into watches I'm sure there are numerous affordable brands out there that would suit your budget and be enjoyable to own.

[Itsguy]

They’re supposed to be too expansive for the average working man, that’s how they work out the prices.

It’s one thing making us choose between children and Rolex, but I think you’ve gone too far now.

Of course a Rolex isn’t affordable to the average person. How many average people spend 5k+ on something that tells the time?

Very few, although the magic of Rolex is that even people who would never spend a tenth of that on any other brand think they need a Rolex....

Do you currently own a Rolex Tilly ? Or aspiring/ hoping to own one one day. Are there any particular models that you like. Submariner or datejust for example ?
I’m just wondering your own opinion, on the question you asked. Most of the people on here work, or are retired from work. Some are Rolex owners and some are not.

[Umbongo]

This thread is painful...

...why do we think that rolex watches should be affordable "tool watches"? That ship sailed long ago. Nowadays theyre sold on the basis of being status symbols.

That's just a fact of life - owning a "rollie" is based around bragging rights for a great many buyers. A "look how well Im doing" statement.

That said, theyre hardly a Rolls Royce level purchase - BMW at best. A mid-level example of a "luxury watch". Totally within the grasp of anybody who really wants one and who doesn't mind buying at 0% credit or getting a low interest bank loan.

Of course its down to priorities - and shame on anybody who ranks a watch as high on their priorities. A man who wants a rolex but instead spends the money on his family is to be greatly admired.

Not for me it's a nice watch nothing more nothing less.but it makes me happy

I need to share something. Last night I woke up in a complete lather having dreamt that Tilley and watchfan_66 were identical twins. So identical in fact, I just can't says the words but.....can it be that they are one....

[P.Sheridan]

Yes do you thinks

That’s me over & out. You are a real pleasure to communicate with. Sellers will be lining up to deal with you
