Every wannabe influencer/flexer wants a Rolex/AP/PP/VC. Difference is some people can and will drop that kind of money you're proposing on a single watch, so you saying you'll do a 6 figure spend is far less meaningful than someone who can come in and do it on a single watch.

Also I've never heard of anyone other than VIP that have had a laundry list of watch requests that have ever been given a single allocation. Better to focus on one or two to start off with and go from there.
I agree entirely... I didn't mean in a single allocation and was kind of hoping that them influencers got theirs by now

You could probably contact a Grey dealer and get all these together in a bundle and save a lot of $.

$750k annually is, to your point, certainly not filthy rich and never will equate to being filthy rich when you wake up one day and suddenly decide you need to piss away a quarter of a year's salary to buy 13 watches at once.

Buying a Rolex doesn't really change the balance sheet as these watches are practically money. What's the worst loss I could experience on a collection or Rolexes? 20% i.e. 30k? I've been saving for 15 years and don't plan on having a family, so I am supposed to be concerned about the potential but unlikely loss of 30k which constitutes less than 1% of my net worth? And how much more will I be worth if my spending actually does land me the Daytonas?

FWIW to give you some perspective, my investment accounts fluctuate by more than 150k on some days

Someone who dresses up a lot? The Datejusts will be my daily beaters. It's not like I can just walk around sporting a Daytona in the city

Some of the comments are awesome.

I'm trying to be serious....start with a few of the less-desirable models (datejusts, especially the tt). Then ask for something else, like a Daytona. But if you want in with that list there's no way that someone could take you seriously.

As for the watches themselves, I would just pick up 2-3 grey and see if you like them, and decide what you want next. If you go AD you're going to spend thousands on crap before you get something awesome. Just go grey. (I think somewhere on here you mentioned your salary, so you can afford it) And, no offense, I would rather have one (fill in the blank) than a bunch of those watches. I know you say you wouldn't, but once you have a gold Daytona, you're not going to want some of the others. Pick up a few Rolex's and then see where your taste takes you.

Nobody here really cares about your investments; FWIW, the last person that came in swinging their dick about their net worth just last week lasted less than 24 hours before being banned. Keep in mind you may very well be a proletariat as far as some of the other members here are concerned.

Remember - money talks, wealth whispers.

Anyway, if you were serious about "needing" 13 watches ASAP, you would've already had all 13, so I think we are probably about done here. Good luck.

Why slouch around with daily Datejusts as beaters. Roll with hourly Grand Seikos like a boss. Figure 7x12, 84 of them would do you just right.

Yeah, I can see how all the triggered hyenas from your clan can drive one to it. Thanks for the cliché. Please show me on this doll where my post hurt you

Most probably a dealer trying to find out where to get all those pieces for Retail.
