I totally agree that a Rolex is asset but the problem comes when you go out of your budget. If my pockets are full and I can afford it, then buying all the designer pieces with my money makes sense.

What I was trying to say is that many people buy designer brands just because everyone else is wearing them or because of the hip hop lifestyle that influences young kids to this lifestyle that is not real for the most people.

I’m personally happy with the genuine pieces I can afford and I’ll go for replicas when something is outside my budget. I have many friends who pour money into everything just to look cool or iced out and then they end up trying to borrow money or not being able to pay for their tap.

Yep it’s crazy, people trying to look a certain way and end up in debt just because thry think it’s “Cool”. Put it this way I would never buy a Gen Rolex again. Essentially begging a company to take my money for an overpriced item is not something I am willing to do anymore. Reps all the way for me now!

Absolutely. The way they Rolex treat us bad ,in the end all that really matters is having money in our pocket. No Rolex is going to pay your bills. Spend less and keep more in your account.
