    seems like everyone is hating on rolex subs... really been thinking about copping one... what's the deal with the hate? they hold (and even appreciate) their value, are actually really understated (as opposed to these "swaggy"/middle school 42mm+ nixons etc.), and are insanely well made. what am i missing?

    • is dope. do it.prophetone
    • if I had watch cash I'd go for a classic, until then tho my white rubber Nixon player will have to do, and I also have the black one lolprophetone
    • you're not missing anything. some people like certain things some don't. a few of each are particularly vocal about it. who cares.SteveJobs
    • You really can't go wrong with the sub. It is the most iconic sports watch, and I wish I got mine sooner.pinkfloyd
    • If you go back earlier in this thread, it was appreciated more. The haters are just being cunts.pinkfloyd
    • I think it depends on if your lifestyle fits. If you are driving a nice bmw, etc., it fits, if not then it'll look like a fake one.formed
    • This one's only $69 today

    • Jealous of anyone who can afford one, or pull off wearing one.monospaced
    • How can you call it understated? Every surface of it is shiny. It's gaundy and blingy as hell and screams sleazy businessman.iCanHazQBN
    • ^ Just my opinion on the design. Has nothing to do with jealousy. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean it's "hate".iCanHazQBN
    • When I hear Rolex, this is the type of sweaty guy I imagine http://i.ytimg.com/v…iCanHazQBN
    • The all gold version is flashy but the stainless steel isn't.pinkfloyd
    • Just sold my ladies rolex watch so I can buy a men's watch. Nowadays they are considered mostly unisex + the smaller ladies versions have gone out of style.shellie
    • admit why you wear it. Not for style but for what is says about you in front of strangers.hotroddy
    • I've always been into watches, from my dad's seikos to getting myself fossils, swatches and moving up from there. I'd admire other people's watches.pinkfloyd
    • The branding mattered along with the quality.pinkfloyd
    • You should rock what you like. Period. I wear an $80 Nixon timemaster, and dig it. I tried on a sub, though, and was blown away, hence the post.showpony
    • If you're going for a Sub Mariner, try the non-date SS version. Less cluttered.MSL
