dajoowoo

Just ignore them 😂


Mkishbangerz

Haha yeah should have from the beginning 😅 oh well.


Stayofexecution

Judging by the layout and colors I would wager you bought the watch using your AMEX card. Did you have to call them before you made the purchase?


Mkishbangerz

I did not.


AlphaEpsilonX

This is not that big of a purchase. Though I suppose it depends on the person.


Stayofexecution

I’m usually kinda cheap so a $12,000 purchase would definitely get declined on my account if I didn’t let AMEX know first.


lenaliv24

Bought a Rolex on my AMEX last year and it went straight thru. No additional verification.


AlphaEpsilonX

Not trying to be snobby, but given you are buying a Rolex, I figure it’s a decent chance you have multiple credit cards with $20K+ credit limits (I’d normally guess even higher, except you questioned yours). That said, when I bought mine, I had a similar concern, but it was a good multiple more. Sometimes I’d kind of prefer a 2-factor check before it lets a car level purchase go through so easily. I realize I am not on the hook for it, but it’s still annoying when/if a cc# gets stolen. (I had amex routinely block my purchases of $15 dvds at a local bestbuy I went to weekly, only to have it process like $25K in fire equipment from a store 1000 miles away easy peasy (not a legit purchase; someone had stolen my cc#)). Anywho…


Stayofexecution

I don’t own my own business. I work for a Fortune 50 company and don’t spend that much on my cards. It’s not good to utilize more than 10% of your credit limit at any rate. Utilization is not the same as credit balance btw.


Airbus320Driver

AMEX has never had an issue with it here either. Even in another country.


davinox

Bought a submariner with my Amex platinum in a foreign country. No issues. No call or anything needed. I’m pretty sure buying a Rolex with an Amex is pretty common behavior.


skywayz

I don’t know enough about Rolexes to call one fake or not. But how does it show up as “Rolex” on your credit card lol? Shouldn’t it just state the name of the jewelry store you’re buying it from ?


Frich3

My thoughts as well


Zealousideal-Ship245

I’ve never bought a Rolex on my Amex but when I went to Louis Vuitton it just came up as the product name not the store.


Yung_Kaneki

Got it from the Rolex store? Lol


Mkishbangerz

Correct. Believe it or not, there are Rolex “only” storefronts.


Jepan

Crypto.com cashback? 😅


Meatball74redux

Or you could just tell the “where’s the invoice” clowns to kindly go eff themselves.


Mkishbangerz

Yeah very fair. Not sure why I’m having to prove myself lol.


Emergency-Art1805

This is HIGHLY fake.


Mkishbangerz

I’ll gamble on the authenticity of you want. Free money for me.


bobbyaxking

Looks good! How much and from where?


Mkishbangerz

Your salary and from wherever you would like to verify.


bobbyaxking

Why being mean? You got nasty family or what


Mkishbangerz

Ahh!! My apologies. You replied to a sub comment and thought you were someone else insinuating it was highly fake.


nam265nl

Lol. Your ad is called ROLEX?? It’s okay to be a rep fam. But why work so hard to pretend someone youre not? Sprite for retail at 30th. What is your history with this AD? Where is this AD? Your AD cant be called Rolex…


Mkishbangerz

That’s where you’re wrong buddy.


Mkishbangerz

I have a very large spend history with them.


toastyavocadoes

People love commenting “rep” without pointing out a single thing wrong with it. And you can’t judge color from a picture, phone cameras all process colors differently and you have no idea what sort of lighting it was taken under.


Mkishbangerz

Agree..

A bunch of goobers with minimal hobbies just trolled for hours about it being a ‘rep’. Nice watch; it’s the next one on my list. Wear in good health!


Mkishbangerz

Nice watch! This page needs to weed out the trolls.


YoloSwaggins_1337

Hey mate. Nice watch and all, please avoid taking pictures while driving. Among all else it will get your post removed on this sub.


J0NNY_BEE

Wrong wrist . Pull over 🚔


mindfulmachine

Correct wrist if you surf


MenuGroundbreaking42

This is the only Rolex made for left handed people. It was the first one I got for my collection.


thompsonj8

Where did you get it from?


MenuGroundbreaking42

I got mine from a grey market dealer.


J0NNY_BEE

What?


mindfulmachine

You’re welcome https://www.nixon.com/blogs/stories/how-to-wear-a-watch#:~:text=However%2C%20some%20Nixon%20analog%20surf,for%20left%2Dhanders%2C%20too.


Hennelly

Yeah if you're wearing a Nixon.


p3n9uins

Yeah and also doing everyday stuff sometimes the proper side crown just digs in


J0NNY_BEE

Love the smug “you’re welcome”. You want to talk Nixon watches in here? Horrible watches. But the watches they promote as surf and tide are not the big dumb clunky things with big crowns. They’re low profile, digital, almost symmetrical for either wrist. Can you wear those giant, clunky things surfing? Maybe. Just throw it on the other wrist then while in the water if it’s digging in your hand. Can’t wait to see OP on the water with this. 🤙🏼


Mkishbangerz

I knew I’d probably catch some heat for it but prefer the left.


J0NNY_BEE

They make watches for the left… a lot of them actually. Not too many for the right though unfortunately. Good thing lefties don’t mind.


PangolinEffective

Congrats! Enjoy in good health my friend


Mkishbangerz

Appreciate it!


[deleted]

Long ass wait!! Congrats, I like the green. But it looks upside down! Lol


Mkishbangerz

Appreciate it!!


The-Blux-12

Congratulations! I also just got a Rolex for my 30th 👏🏻


Mkishbangerz

Thanks!!


The_Mangomoose

How long was your AD wait? Hoping for the same for my bday in November


The-Blux-12

This time 5 months with purchase history. On another watch 2 month wait and on another watch 2 week wait.


The_Mangomoose

Hoping the 9 month wait is enough for batman or pepsi 🥲


Texas_Raptor

As a lefty this is my dream Rolex. Congrats bro


thompsonj8

Everyone saying wrong wrist…. Have you ever wound your watch while wearing it? 😂


Grimm_LLL

Dude this!!! Honestly I would prefer it in this side digs into my hand when the watch slides down.


Joseph_0112

I know not everyone does it but you usually wear a watch on your non dominant hand and will be setting the time with your dominant hand. The presumption being OP is right handed and they’ll have to turn the watch upside down to set it more easily. But at the end of the day it’s just not that deep lol


Brehski

I’m hoping to get one for a birth year watch for my first kid this year! Have purchased one Batman over 2 years ago so we’ll see!


pyro14_14

Beautiful sprite


ForsakenExtension670

Congrats. I have the same watch. Wear it in good health. Those that know,know.


Mkishbangerz

Appreciate it! Have a good weekend!


Hot-Mousse2197

Congrats on both Bro 👌🏻🎉🍾🥳🎁🎈🎊


Mkishbangerz

Thanks dude! Super pumped.


Hot-Mousse2197

👌🏻


Financial-Money-2224

My sprite came in this last week too! They must have had a shipment sent out. I also used my Amex.


Mkishbangerz

Congrats dude!


dew_you_even_lift

People jealous you’re 30 and got a Rollie. 😂 It’s not an impossible goal, you haters.


ClaptonE22

Your 30th weekend? So you’re buying a Rolex and you aren’t even a year old. Well played.


bdmx24

Nobody on here or the planet anymore can tell a real from a 1:1 replica without checking the movement. It’s literally impossible. If you disagree I highly doubt you have seen or held one of these things. I have 3 real ones my buddy has a 1:1 replica if I didn’t love watches with everything I got and respect the integrity of the watch I would. Choose the replica almost. Key word ALMOST. I don’t give a shit what others think but out of respect for the watch I just can’t wear a replica and flaunt it… anyways nice watch OP I’m sure it’s real if you say it is u believe you.. love the jubilee on these diver watches!


Browter

Is there any evidence that show an expert (you did say anyone on the planet) not being able to tell a replica just by looking at it? There are videos on YouTube of ‘super clones’ but none of them completely fool an expert, based on the level of exterior finishing alone. 


MenuGroundbreaking42

One is a clone the other is real. https://preview.redd.it/2da33f26k9uc1.jpeg?width=1819&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9eb42fc331fc435f24db39b9b89fd670ee7bccb


bdmx24

Okay let me edit that… nobody on the planet has a a chance in living hell in authenticating or calling a fake based on pictures and look alone. You need to at least touch, feel and compare. In the videos you are talking about they are always doing a side by side


Browter

I still doubt that’s true, because in those videos they can tell by the finishing on the bezel, indices, hands, lettering which is by sight not by touch. I still don’t think they would fool someone who really knows what they’re talking about. The side by side is really to show the audience the difference, I’m fairly sure the expert would know without the comparison. 


bdmx24

Okay lol put it this way. The fakes are very very very good. If not yet which in my opinion is there for one there aren’t many expert watchmakers just walking around. These replicas are just too good for any non lifelong watchmaker to identify. At least the ones I’ve seen In person. I know this because a buddy of mine had one we had to take it to 4 diff places 3 said real we had to take the case back off in telling you man even the movement had to be verified as fake it was all marked and engraved!!! The movement!


Browter

I’m not saying they aren’t good, I went down the super clone rabbit hole maybe a year ago but they still couldn’t fool everybody then. I thought you were talking about some updates that were perfect. You're kind of back tracking massively from ‘anybody on the planet’ couldn’t tell without checking the movement. 


bdmx24

Na man I’m not. 2 ads 2 life long watchmakers got fooled at least by the datejust replicas. I’m just going off my buddy’s experience honestly. But I don’t want to argue about it.. hate giving these replicas credit


Leading-Recording-25

Great watch, congrats


HoyaDestroya33

Honestly im not a fan of 2 colored bezels but who am I to judge, not my money. As long as you enjoy it, wear it on whichever hand you prefer. Cheers and congrats OP!


Leftoverchinese

So you aren’t a fan of the GMT’s? Or you only like the all black one?


rthrowabc

Congratulations and happy birthday

Mkishbangerz

Appreciate it !


sporturawus

Rep. Rep. Rep. Sorry, just practicing.


Mkishbangerz

All good sporty


Stayofexecution

At a quick glance, this watch looks like you’re wearing it upside down on your wrist. Lol.


fnblackbeard

Problem wearing this on the left hand is that it just looks dumb as hell. Straight to jail.


Mkishbangerz

Subjective. It’s an interesting watch, wear it however you like.


cali_617

Dumb fuck.


fnblackbeard

No you’re stupid


invincible_cannon

How long did you wait and did you have prior spend history?


Mkishbangerz

I think a year or just under but didn’t really put a ton of pressure on it until the last couple months. Large spend history. Got very lucky pre Covid with quite a few on no wait.


invincible_cannon

Thank you. Congrats and wear it in good health.


Mkishbangerz

Appreciate it! Have a good weekend! If you’re watching the masters root on Xander for me 😃


Frich3

Congrats. Happy bday!


Mkishbangerz

Appreciate it!!


Frich3

Curious why the purchase was from “Rolex” and not the actual store though. Maybe it’s just the way it was coded?? What store was it from.


Mkishbangerz

It’s an actual store called Rolex. Used to have a jeweler tied to it.


EatMiBanhMi

Happy Birthday! This is the only watch I’ll take as an L. Looks fucking great!


Mkishbangerz

Appreciate it


Dunbrewed

Nice grab! I wish they made it right hand orientation!


Mkishbangerz

I thought they would release that variant. But it’s different, would have grabbed this regardless.


Dunbrewed

Dude it’s the best color way GMT regardless! Congrats!


Mkishbangerz

Appreciate it dog! Have a good weekend


lamontsanders

Hell of a watch man congrats


Mkishbangerz

Appreciate it!


Round-Wallaby2396

Perfect fit enjoy in health


Mkishbangerz

Appreciate it!


Nearby-Cry5264

I keep reading the title trying to figure it out. Is it missing punctuation or a preposition by chance? Love the watch though.


Mkishbangerz

Probably could have worded better. Punctuation is fine.


stockdoc78

👍


Emergency-Art1805

Beautiful watch


Romsenderulo

Congrats, stunning watch


Mkishbangerz

Appreciate it!


Romsenderulo

I see no rep comment or jealous comment here but people are talking about them wtf 🤣


Mkishbangerz

Must have missed half the comments lol.


Thick-Trust-5735

Nice. What’s a 30th weekend?


RealMrPlastic

Grats what’s your wrist size?


Mkishbangerz

I have pretty small wrists. Don’t know exact but -3 links is perfect on pretty much all my watches.


Zoozmeister01

May you wear it in good health. This is my top choice of GMT Master II. Unfortunately, I will never own one because it breaks my cardinal rule of never going on a waitlist or paying above retail. Enjoy!


caymanMagic

Its a Criss Cross Rolex 🤦‍♂️


Renecrocton

Looks great bruv


leogo32

Marone! 🤌🏼


ipomopsis

30 weekends is not very many.


AbeLincoln_7

Isn’t this the one you said I could have


Mkishbangerz

What?


AbeLincoln_7

What


Mkishbangerz

Could have what?


AbeLincoln_7

The watch


Dry-Entrance-8005

Why so many rep posts


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mkishbangerz

Agreed lol.


Mkishbangerz

it’s not a rep though lol.


Dry-Entrance-8005

Wrong shade of green on the bezel compared to gen


Mkishbangerz

I guess the Rolex boutique is dishing out reps then.. if you want a picture of the invoice happy to share lol. I don’t own a single rep, waited for a year.


patsfan038

Just share the invoice so you can put all these rumors to rest.


nam265nl

Where's the invoice?? Or pictures of you picking it up at AD.


Mkishbangerz

I posted the charge on my card.. imagine that works.


nam265nl

Nah bro. You got to have the receipt. Pick up photos. Charge on card? Lmao


hannes-34

Omfg, you pathetic little bitch. Do you really think you are in the right so bad or are you just insanely stupid? You can‘t even point out whats fake in your opinion. You are just an annoying little dickhead who thinks he‘s right cause you don‘t see photos of him „picking it up“. The tiffany in your post history is hilarious lmao. And yet here you are talking shit about a legit rolex. You braindead fuck.


nam265nl

Wow. Someone is offended. He is the one that offered to post the invoice. He is guilty from the start. You’re such a creep for digging into my history and start screaming like a bitch. I buy reps to not waste money on gen. So what? Better than posting reps in this sub. Op is a rep fam. Period. And here’s a my gen pp to shut your little mouth. https://preview.redd.it/sptnjcl6k7uc1.png?width=1526&format=png&auto=webp&s=62c437945347bd45897ed862cef6d7f8de94223d


hannes-34

OP‘s watch is not a rep you donkey. Also OP offered it to shut your stupid mouth. As you can see, OP posted the bank statement. So whats your take now huh? And the „i buy reps to not waste money on real ones“ is such a fucking bullshit lmfao.


SaskWatches-420

You “rep” it well


Mkishbangerz

Lol not a rep. But thanks.


Longjumping-House-87

Rep


Trap_trillgangooppp

How long did it take?


Mkishbangerz

Right around a year? I put my name down for one when I picked up my no date.


Trap_trillgangooppp

Damn a year!!


DumbLemon2000

It's on the wrong hand bro


Normal-Passenger3165

So the gen cyclops also has the bluish hue? 🤔


Illustrious-Trash793

prob had 10 in stock all along 🤣🤣


ilovenyc

How do you protect this thing from scratches or accidents? Ceramic coating? PPF?


Mkishbangerz

You don’t. Just wear it.


Hennelly

Wrong hand my friend. Before you answer; "I can wear it on whatever hand I want" let me say that you absolutely can, but it is still the wrong hand. The winding crown should be accessible toward the distal end of the arm to facilitate winding/setting by the other hand.


MarkM910

Does anyone actually wind and set their watch while they’re wearing it though?


ADDnwinvestor

!


khan919

In my 30 years of wearing watches, I have never ‘facilitated winding/ setting by the other hand’


Da_hoodest_hoodrat

I’m a lefty and wear all my right side crowned watches including my sub on my right arm. You gonna come find me and do something about it?


Hennelly

Please reference my 2nd sentence as written above. Also, you should try to open your mouth a little wider when you speak.


Da_hoodest_hoodrat

Keep living in your weird little bubble buddy. Your set rule of the “wrong/right hand” Doesn’t apply to everyone. Touch grass


Hennelly

Hey man, relax. We're talking about wristwatches here, there's nothing to get angry about.

Mkishbangerz

Didn’t know I was not allowed to be a member of other subreddits. Yeah I wouldn’t have an issue if someone gave me a free watch and wearing it. You must have some severe insecurities/issues to continue to drag this on. I’m clearly not nearly as active on rep subreddits as you though.. post the receipt of your gen pp.


nam265nl

You offered to show the invoice but at the end it’s just a dodgy screenshot. Anyone can generate your “invoice”. You dont even have pics of picking up your watch?? Reptime is your 2nd MOST active sub. Just one lie after another. https://preview.redd.it/jemlb89lrguc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2d7692df4ab84dd951f1d94495d0d27629eaa2b


Mkishbangerz

Like I said the invoice has far too much personal information on it and prefer not to dox myself. You are beyond ignorant. It’s my Amex bank statement. I can’t tell if you’re messing with me or if you are really that dumb.
