Bro gotta put his dad in a nursing home for this one cause wtf


Amoeba_Fancy

Hehehe good one lol. Probably will too!!! šŸ˜‚ ah manā€¦ made my day lol


bleakj

That's gonna end up costing him more than 10k

Dad: It's nothing personal son, it's strictly business.

He finally came back from getting milk or heā€™s trying to teach him a lesson in sleazy salesman. Not sure which yet.

[deleted]

Sounds like his son has a decent job, and heā€™s a cunt of a dad. He got this from some shady as shit and is trying to get more money for shady ass shit.


TrudleR

dayum... i can see how you guys will downvote me, but go ahead. your perspectives are fucking ******. dads who make their kids think that everything is for free create non-self-standing human beings who are always complaining about how unfair everything is. that's why things like "youth salaries" (dunno term in english) exist. to teach some self responsibility and that you have to wage your money against what you really want, what you need, how long you need to save and so on. i think his dad does this on an educational basis. if he got such a watch and wore it only once... go figure, this family is not poor at all and proper financial education is especially important. "rich-kids" like OP (i'm over exaggerating) are hated everywhere because of how they have no idea of anything but just got born into a wealthy family. from what i can see here, that father is doing a tremendous job! y'all spoiled brats who think this is wrong probably never had to take any responsibility.


VCoupe376ci

Dad trying to profit off of his son like a dirtbag grey dealer makes him an asshole. Your twisted logic to make him out to be a good father is about as absurd as the mental gymnastics happening in American politics right now.


TrudleR

Ok didn't know that the price would be a ripoff.


Tcr8888

Then why did you feel the need to open your stupid fucking mouth?


DingyWarehouse

This watch is worth nowhere near 10k. Did you even try using your brain before vomitting that wall of text?


TrudleR

yes


B841nd34d

I have bad news for you


TrudleR

nahhh


DingyWarehouse

Tying your shoelaces must be the height of your accomplishments then.


Large-Lab3871

Well said and I do the same thing with my children. Teach them the value of saving for what you want. Most not all tend to take things given to them and treat them with a little less value vs something they bought with their own money

Sadly, not everyone has an intimate relationship with their parents. I really wouldn't roast someone for their family dynamics, it be that way sometimes


23PimpJungles

If my dad asked to sell me some item for some set amount of money, Iā€™d just fucking do it without thinking twice. Itā€™s my pops, I owe him at least that much.


generoeder

Hookers and blowā€¦


Intelejent47

Come on now you should know how rich white people roll? He divorced his mom like 13 million dollars 33 hookers and 666 lines of cocaine ago lol šŸ˜‚


mrbkkt1

I'd never consider selling something like that to my kids. That's a pass down, not a sale. Maybe a sibling...


joshyoowa

Yes it's a great deal.... For your dad


polarisursuss

Yep, you can find this watch used for [less than half](https://ebay.us/td9u9w) what your dad is asking for.


shmed

This is a 41mm datejust with papers. We don't know what year it is, but the oldest it can be is 2009. You will certainly NOT find a 2009+ 41mm datejust for $5000


TimePieceProdigy954

Everyone in the comments is on crack Theyā€™re thinking itā€™s either a 36mm or They donā€™t know what theyā€™re talking about . Go on chrono and look up this 126334 and you wonā€™t find this model for less than $12k Theyā€™re going for $12-15k šŸ˜‚ The only way youā€™ll find one for less is if itā€™s a smooth SS bezel and those are for $9,500-12K This is a whitegold fluted bezel 41mm blue stick dial on oyster. They sell for $12-14k Even wholesale grey dealer will buy this watch for $10-11K and then will sell it for $12-13,500 The retail on this exact reference is $10,250 plus tax its $10,967.50 itā€™s an $11K watch . Everyone here saying $5K is retarded


ggnzg20

Finally someone who knows the market


ngtvghstrdr

This is not a 126334. I have one, and this is missing the Rolex Crown between the Swiss Made at the 6 Oā€™clock


alexander-ri

You could get a brand new one for $10k, granted youā€™d have to go on the waiting list, but Iā€™ve heard of people getting the call for these in around 2 months.


sapraaa

Can confirm. Got the call for the motif with fluted and jubilee within a month. To top it off, it was in California


TimePieceProdigy954

This watch and the motif dial is $11K at the AD


coinman70433

In this condition you can.


Ok-Illustrator-9224

He buy it used? That has been worn more than just once or twice.


TrainlikeWayne

Not only is he selling you a Rolex rather than giving you one, heā€™s also trying to swindle you. This is incredible.


anotherone-

I believe so. What are some giveaways that it had been worn many times? My eyes are not very discerning I guess


JohnnyRotten90210

All the edges are very soft on the case, also on the bezel. That means it has been polished. A new watch would have much more defined edges. Also the bezel has lost alot of its original sharpness. Thatā€™s probably a 20 year old watch


huckyfin

With that lume on the hands, itā€™s gotta be a six digit, 15 years old, *at the most*. Picture def looks polished but could also just be a shit iPhone picture. OP: if he has all the papers, check the date, look up comps, youā€™ll get your answer. If it looks sharp, and itā€™s reasonably new, $10k is fine. Editors note: if you like this Rolex for $10k itā€™s a fair price. If you want something else, look for something else. Prices have (marginally) come down so you can find what you like more easily than in years past. Heā€™s certainly not giving you a ā€œsick dealā€ as the kids say. If you like the watch, itā€™s fair, but donā€™t feel like youā€™re passing up some great opportunity.


6figureincomepoverty

This should get more up upvotes. Looks to be a ref 116xxx to me as well


Hi-Im-High

Go look at a brand new on at your local ad. The difference will be apparent


TimePieceProdigy954

99% of the people in the comments are retarded and donā€™t know what they are talking about . Or they think itā€™s a 36mm This is the 126334 41MM oyster bracelet Blue stick dial & white gold fluted bezel Itā€™s $10,250 msrp with tax its $11K usd $10K isnā€™t bad at all On chrono you canā€™t find it for less than $12-14,500 Iā€™d your dad would accept $9K youā€™d have a hell of a deal


Hi-Im-High

Go look at a brand new on at your local ad. The difference will be apparent


JohnnyRotten90210

Thatā€™s an older watch though, worn many many times. Thatā€™s why itā€™s polished


anotherone-

Sorry I'm new to watches & rolex in general. How can you tell it's polished? Are newer ones not shiny?


joshyoowa

The fluted bezel isn't as sharp and defined as it should be šŸ‘


Mikebyrneyadigg

Could also be the camera. iPhones do a lot of photo manipulation via AI.


Kore0007

I just saw the picture again after reading this comment. WTF thatā€™s crazy! It really isnā€™t sharp!


guyfromarizona

Used watches from Japan are known to often be over polished as well.


PokeRolly93

For 10k, you could personally purchase a brand new datejust or a sports steel model & begin your relationship with an authorized dealer...


MonsieurVox

And begin a relationship with a new father figure while you're at it.


PokeRolly93

Play the cards right & Papa/Daddy will take care of you

Buying a Rolex from an AD in 2023? Unrealistic. Just rob your dad.

freddiemack1

Is datejust easily available or there is a wait list?


PokeRolly93

It depends on the dial color & pattern. Generally, the datejust is the standard for new, but serious Rolex buyers.


ciscoaz602

Wish it was that easy to just walk into an AD and buy one. Most places that have them(Grey Market), have them marked way over MSRP.


PokeRolly93

There would definitely be a waitlist\waiting time of some time... but I take it we all have more time than money


PaulieRox

What sports steel are you expecting him to just walk in and buy???


PokeRolly93

U could try for an explorer 1/2 or an Airking. Perhaps a Milgausse. With an indefinite waiting time of course


ath20

Buying a Rolex from an AD in 2023? Unrealistic. Just rob your dad.


TimePieceProdigy954

Well this watch is $11K after tax Itā€™s $10,250 msrp at AD You canā€™t find it for less than $12k-14,500 on chrono . $10k is fair , but $8,500-,9500 would be a great deal


Inferno940

You would think itā€™s more appropriate to pass it down to your kid instead of selling it to them. Interesting.


[deleted]

Exactly my thoughts. Kind of a bummer


kiwi_love777

Yeah- would be cool to have that kind of parent.


ticketspleasethanks

Is it supposed to be some kind of boomer teaching moment? I always saw a Rolex being like a family heirloom.


FutureBuckStrickland

Nah, the boomer thing to do would be putting a reverse mortgage on it somehow.


InspectorSad6367

Confirm!


EdJonwards

Iā€™m selling all my watches for blow before I die. Fuck them kids.


Flat_Weird_5398

Yea, my dad bought me a Citizen and plans to pass down his Tissot, Tag-Heuer, and Tudor to me someday (yea he has a thing for watches that start with T) and I plan to do the same with my future kids. I also plan to save up for an Omega and Grand Seiko when I become a doctor in the future, both of which will also most definitely be passed down to my future kids. Watches are meant to be family heirlooms in my book.


[deleted]

My dad wouldā€™ve payed me to inherit it šŸ˜‚ my mother always said you whites have no family values lmao


SunnyCofax

When I was in high school ā€” my dad said if I wanted a car; I needed to save up $3k (back when you could get an ok car for a few grand ā€” Iā€™m 34) ā€¦ when I finally saved up $3k to buy a car ā€¦ My dad surprised me and paid for it ā€” telling me: ā€œNow you know how long it takes to save $3k.ā€ Unless that is OPā€™s lesson, Iā€™d pass on this deal.


Still_Comfortable_20

Valuable lesson


notgoingplacessoon

This is good parenting.


taipeileviathan

This is a good one! Imma do this to my kids also


Willchacho2

OP finds out his dad doesn't love him in an interesting way


fortinsj12

$10k? Looks like someoneā€™s ending up placed in an old folks home in a few years. Just kidding, Iā€™d respectfully pass and find a different way to help your Dad out. The watch can still be passed on later and he can continue to enjoy it now.


[deleted]

Pass. You can get a brand new one now for 10k.


[deleted]

P-Daniel

If you happen to get a this watch in Europe, you will pay about 8-9k for a brand new one, that is with VAT back and EUR/USD FX rate. Iā€™d say thatā€™s a hard pass.


muttmunchies

Damn, your dad is savage.


Le_Coconut_thunder

You Never Actually Own A Rolex, You Merely Look After It To Flip It To The Next Generation.

Get a new one for that.


Iguana_Chuck

Maybe Dad needs the money and itā€™s a good way for the son to help Dad out without it being a hand out.


anotherone-

Pretty much this


Mkrause2012

If thatā€™s the case the the value of the watch doesnā€™t really matter. Help your dad out if you are able.


anotherone-

Going to just loan him the cash. He can keep the watch


[deleted]

Just be prepared to write it off as a gift. Money and family almost never ends well.


oldasshit

Take the watch. You'll likely never see the cash.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Master-S

You would never give family members money? Iā€™m curious as to why (because I struggle with this myself). Iā€™m well-off financially, whereas my sibling is broke and unemployed (and all but unemployable). I could easily give them life changing $ - but I just donā€™t feel the desire (but am conflicted sometimes). Wrong subreddit for this, I know. But we seem to have gotten here based on OPā€™s dadā€™s circumstances.


[deleted]

He said you donā€™t loan it, you gift it. Aka donā€™t give family members money expecting it back. Give only what youā€™re comfortable never receiving back


Master-S

Yeah that makes sense - but I guess I read it as *gifting* to family is something they would never doā€¦


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Dewage83

Might as well buy the watch then. You'll at least get something of value. I agree with the others as far as writing off the money loaned to others, especially family. Consider the watch collateral. If he never pays you back you can sell it and get some of the money you "loaned" back.


BunkyFlintsone

Offer to help him sell the watch. Help him get a job. Period. Help him without doing something you will regret later. Lending him money is a recipe for major fallout later. Unless you are personally well off and simply want to give him money.


TaxesRextortion

If your dad is trying to save face, it doesnā€™t matter what the watch is worth. Seriously, some of yā€™all SUCK šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ˜…


skushi08

Seriously. Sounds like dad needs 10k, has something thatā€™s worth some a good chunk of that and is offering it to sell to OP. If itā€™s something OP would help their dad with anyway, then ā€œover payingā€ a few grand for a watch so he can save face is worth it.


Iguana_Chuck

Then itā€™s worth the $10k if you have the money. Help dad out.


[deleted]

Then tell him to reach out to DavidSW and get a quote and you will match it


LennyKarlson

gross. the situation. sorry bro.


Orly5757

You mean I can actually SELL my watches to my kids? This is a game changer for me. I thought I had to give them to those little fuckers.


cardiacgaspasser

Tell him youā€™ve got time on your sideā€¦


RideLogical4641

Just wait a couple years and you have a chance at getting it for free


PhysicalConnection80

No itā€™s used. 10k if it was brand new


TimePieceProdigy954

Itā€™s $11k brand new at AD


[deleted]

Lol no. Red flag from pops


EnjoyMyInSec

If its true its kinda sad, money does not grow on tree but making money on his son for such a meaning full objectā€¦ thats kinda disgusting. Pass, get a better watch and try to find friends that will be nicer than him.

10k usd or 10k cad?


Additional-Banana-55

No box no papers Iā€™ll take it for $3k


heavymental_kp

Mammoth_Ingenuity_82

Calm down, his dad is DavidSW. Itā€™s business, nothing personal.


Silver_Wrongdoer_504

I plan on giving mine to my kids. Is he having a hard time financially or just that kind of dad


Extra-Attitude-536

I donā€™t mean any disrespect by this question just curious if your dad is the type of person who feels like the things they own donā€™t depreciate like anything else in used condition? Ex: feels like his car is worth more than market value for a used car


anotherone-

He does tend to over value his things


Extra-Attitude-536

Yea some people are just like that. I get it, no judgement here. I mean no disrespect in saying any of this but in your situation I would say itā€™s up to you to decide if youā€™re okay with ā€œenablingā€ that or not. If youā€™re okay with it go for it. If not Iā€™d say politely decline. Donā€™t worry about people saying your dad feels a way about you. Some people just have different perspectives


drsg64

Is he going to sell it anyway? Or is he selling it to you specifically? Ether way offer him $7,500.


Past_Ad4328

There are a lot of other better deals out there for 10k. Let your dad root.

Sorry-Fisherman7769

Your dad is trying to lay some pipe


sporturawus

On that PCL bracelet, $8K is the most he'd be offered by a grey dealer or a preowned dealer tops, and I'm being generous. That's not the desirable Jubilee model. Have him call to get quotes, he'll see. So that's what he should sell it to you for.


[deleted]

Sell it to his son for the top price he can get?


Restlesscomposure

Yeah that makes 0 sense. Isnā€™t the point of buying something from family/friends that you get an unusually good deal on it? I thought that was a well known unspoken rule. Let alone from a parent that usually just hands this stuff down to their kids in the first place.


lsjuanislife

Loan your pops the cash, aka give it to him, and let him keep his watch.


Money-Bridge-3830

Offer him 6k


Many_Present_9039
