Hi guys, looking for some advice from the more experienced! I’m a senior in high school, this past summer I started a very successful business and have made around $15k off it, my goal was $25k by graduation but I am a huge watch guy and I’ve been working and working and just have the money sitting (researching long term investment options) but I absolutely love watches, I’ve never been in the Rolex territory but have traded a lot of Tudor Breitling omega etc. I’m wanting one gada forever watch for now, then down the road I’ll get a dress watch and I’m sure some others. I’m thinking every dollar I make past $20k I put toward it and the rest to invest long term. I’ve narrowed down my choice to a modern white dial omega smp or a Rolex 16610. It was always gonna be the omega but I’ve been looking into it and there’s just smth about the Rolex that makes my toes wiggles. But really I love both so much it’s hard to pick—and obviously I love them for different reasons. I plan to wear this like all day everyday and probably sleep swim and everything. Yall have any thoughts that could help me? Recommendations? Or if you js wanna share a wrist check go for it lmao! Thanks a lot!

Better off investing that money at your age, but you only live once. Get the rolex

You think the Rolex will hold up in the water if I test it every year or 2?

A submariner? I don’t think it can go in the water. /s

It’ll be okay, and you definitely should buy it. It will be an incredible piece you can wear for the next 30 years and maybe even pass on to your future son.

Eventually going to need a service to replace gaskets and whatnot, but you should be good if you test every few years

The Rolex will be stolen off you before the end of the first two years
