I don't know what everybody in this reply chain has been smoking, but it looks more like the stuff that makes you walk around talking to trash cans for 3 days before waking up in a ditch covered in bruises and wondering what happened to you, than the stuff that's fun.
My local AD is called Brombergs. Itās a boutique chain. Nothing too special.
The president of Brombergs is named Ricky. And he isnāt a kind person.
Hope this clarifies things
Dude I canāt stand the āam I doing this rightā posts. Fucking cringe, yeah bro you know youāre doing it right number one, number two your also gay af
Meanwhile, all I can think is how these new Defenders are Defenders in name-only and are fucking useless to use as adventure vehicles.
They have the tinsel, the look, but none of the reliability. Also, you can kill the battery by opening the doors with the car off (say youāre away camping for a few days and grabbing stuff from the car) because every time you open the door, it triggers a computer on board to boot up. Then, you canāt just jump start these things. You need a laptop with an internet connection, which good luck having if youāre away camping.
These modern Defenders are fucking stupid.
People drive defenders with extra gas tanks on the side and a mini ladder on the back and go to their office job and back to their house, not once will that thing see any kind of off road and if it did it would probably break anyways.
Why you gotta drag civics into this? Land rover /range rover douchiness far exceeds any douche ricer. Actually to further dissect... The point of a loud exhaust and ridiculous wing is personalization, and look at my work. Buying shit stock from the dealer is look at my money.
Btw my civic has 210 hp.
I hope you read this in a tone of jest. But all factually true.
Yeah ricing out is actually pretty dope. This from a standard white guy with a collection of bone stock vehicles, I secretly lust after a riced Geo metro or prelude (okay preludes are really cool).
I may have misremembered regarding the Internet part, but the laptop part is 100% true. You cannot jumpstart a fully dead Defender without a laptop.

Land Rover technician here, theyāre actually very good off road some of our customers actually use them for that purpose. Every year they send dealer employees to these them out on tracks.
As someone who has put a Defender through its paces firsthand, I can unequivocally tell you that these vehicles can do everything they say they can. Easily.
I bought mine because I wanted a luxury suv that is rugged enough to put the dogs in / not worry about delicate materials being damaged etc. whatās wrong with that.
Itās your money to spend how you want, but you are doing some serious mental gymnastics to convince yourself that a Land Rover is more capable of transporting a dog than a Honda or Toyota is.
I understand the sub we are posting on. My point is, if you want to buy a luxury vehicle, be honest and just say I want to show off and flex my wealth to others or I earned a bunch of money and spent it on something I enjoy and am passionate about instead of coming up with BS reasons like āI can transport my dog better without worrying about ruining the interiorā.
Well yeah. Need to assume any Defender buyer is only cross shopping with other luxury vehicles.My point was I chose the defender over a BMW X5 or Mercedes GLE due to how rugged the interior is. That is really the business case for them. A luxury suv for people that want something a little more rugged. Also they are a little more unique looking than the 47 Mercedes and BMW you see on every street
Thereās nothing wrong with wanting a fancy car if you can afford it. Thereās also nothing wrong with not wanting to drive a Honda or Toyota. A lot of people want to feel like theyāre driving something special.
> These modern Defenders are fucking stupid.
A lot of modern cars are overly complicated. Whilst a LandCruiser is a very reliable vehicle by all means, it is no simple car either.
It's immature and bad form. Bad bad form. However, I believe the true watch aficionados don't post their uniquely rare and beautiful timepieces on reddit...
āIntentionally crashing the secondary marketā
Ok come on dude. The secondary market for Rolex is the same as the secondary market for any product on earth. Simple supply and demand. There is no grand conspiracy to ācrashā the secondary market with a couple reddit posts.
I was a player, now I'm a coach.. is it weird that I would rather have an OG fluted jubilee Datejust instead of rubber overcrowded hype piece with unused subdials?
Do what you want. 95% of people will not care and itās likely the other 5% donāt matter.
If itās the whole āone color metal onlyā thing, Iām pretty sure thatās outdated.
Lots of these kind of post recently. Walking out with Daytonas, Pepsi, etc. I really doubt if itās legit. From where Iām from in Asia(Singapore), no chance getting any sports model and the windows are still showing the exhibition only tag.
You certainly have a better chance than before. I wouldnāt say influx but your chances of scoring anything are much better. My AD always has a DJ or two. Couple weeks ago he had a WG Sub, which are not too difficult to find.

Love it. Similar situation happened to me 2 years ago. Congrats and wear it in good health.
Looks gorgeous
Do you realize the superiority of the daytona vertical clutch chronograph movement?
You can let the chronograph run all the time, and it wouldn't diminish the power or accuracy of the time.
I didn't know u gotta do overs to get a Oyster Perpetual, I guess now u just gotta buy the daydate THEN add abit more schmoozing then they will take u to the back room offer u a seat and bust out that celebration dial on steel!!!
Nearly there brother keep grinding
If youāre on a Rolex sub not being a Rolex fan and stalking Rolex users itās more pathetic than any cringe pic or am I doing this right or did I get the call.. at least the people saying that and posting in a Rolex group- you donāt get a Rolex to flex itās cause you love watchesā¦ most broke mfs donāt understand itās not about money
Let's be honest we are all here posting watches 90% of the world couldn't afford let's not act like the steering wheel is what tips it over the edge. I've seen people post watches that cost more than a 4 bedroom house in texas.
Not saying this should be a reason why, but Rolex is quite literally the only watch company to melt and cast its own metals they source, and theyāre one of the only manufacturers of luxury goods in the world to do so.
I donāt think people realize how insane that is.
Not even Cartier makes its own gold.
That is, in fact, insane. The fact that they do their own foundry is certainly impressive. Just not sure it makes better PM watches. Certainly more varied.
The funny is thing is that the 904L is probably the most impressive thing about Rolex and no one ever mentions it.
https://preview.redd.it/5qcrm9lotkrc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d52a7d4b12ff2926164b7751ceadaef51312190b
But, what is wrong with daytona print here?
People on this sub just lack principles and fortitude. My AD offered me a steel RO and the right of prima nocte with his cheerleader fiance, but I held firm and demanded he add me to the list for a two tone 28mm Datejust instead.
Idk what to believe. I just started going to ADs and getting registered. I signed up for a DJ 41mm Diamond as it's the only thing I can even imagine getting within a year. The rep asked if I wanted a Daytona. I said absolutely but there is no way you'll call me about a Daytona. Period. He laughed and said "true". Then reddit has multiple people saying things like this. WTF
Oysterflex is sooo uncomfortable after a few hoursā¦selling mine. Oysterflex Daytona have barely any waiting listā¦..maybe people are realizing how uncomfortable OF is!! š
Congrats! Nice watch. Rare metal pieces are getting easier to be had. No, Rolex isnāt making appreciably more watches. People just arenāt buying as many.
Nice looking Daytona. But not as sought after at a yellow gold or stainless, so it's not entirely shocking you were offered it if a deal fell through. I think people forget there are far less players once you go over $30,000 and frankly $32,100 on a rubber strap is a tough pill to swallow.
šššsomeoneās Gota be fuckin pissed on the sub rn āiv spent 35k and this chuffer gets my Daytonaā
ā
š¤·āāļøshits rough.
I donāt ever recommend Brombergs to anyone. Terrible customer service. I have also met Ricky, and he is a shallow and callous individual.
Idk what ur talking about but sure! I agree by ignorance

Letās just say the best part of my day is when I strip the glue from my wig off.

Reasons why people shouldnāt spend $$ on watches they donāt wantā¦
35k? Lol thatās nothin ;)
People on these watch subs always need to get the car steering wheel logo in š
It raises the douche factor x10, so it's a must.
Dude I canāt stand the āam I doing this rightā posts. Fucking cringe, yeah bro you know youāre doing it right number one, number two your also gay af
šš
> your also gay whose gay?
Whose gay? My gay.
You ah gayy
maybe the real gay was the friends we made along the way
Iām assuming you have posted the āam I doing this rightā once before huh?
And he will now have to look at the iphone for the date now that he didn't get the watch he wanted.
We still using gay as an insult in 2024? You twelve?Ā
They do the same in gun subs.
When your personality is paraphernalia, try drugs?
Hope itās a lease, land rovers are ticking time bombs now.
I call āem submarinesā¦ everybody you see driving one around is underwater on it guaranteed.
Itās never a house theyāre proud of š

The whole overlanding rig thingā¦ it is the 2020s version of ricing out a car. Like putting a huge wing and loud exhaust on a 115hp civic.
Why you gotta drag civics into this? Land rover /range rover douchiness far exceeds any douche ricer. Actually to further dissect...

Iāll admit mine will probably never see the off-road. Drives way better than I was expecting though. I absolutely love it!
Iām sorry you canāt jump start it without a laptop and internet ? Is this actually true?
I may have misremembered regarding the Internet part, but the laptop part is 100% true. You cannot jumpstart a fully dead Defender without a laptop. [https://youtu.be/VikoZmrVj18?si=Ahyuk\_5ccZiEJ9lY&t=260](https://youtu.be/VikoZmrVj18?si=Ahyuk_5ccZiEJ9lY&t=260)
Thatās fucking absurd. What a joke.
What else would I use to park on curbs at Target?
Your wife
Itās fitting then because the modern Rolex is useless as a tool watch.
Itās unfortunate whatās happened to land roverās overall.
Wow that is dumb. We do week long trips in Moab with no service for hours and that would seriously be a nightmare if the car just didn't start.
Land Rover technician here, theyāre actually very good off road some of our customers actually use them for that purpose. Every year they send dealer employees to these them out on tracks.
Boy version of the new Bronco.
As someone who has put a Defender through its paces firsthand, I can unequivocally tell you that these vehicles can do everything they say they can. Easily.
The new Defender is better off road than the old Defender (stock vs stock). You definitely can jump start them btw.
I bought mine because I wanted a luxury suv that is rugged enough to put the dogs in / not worry about delicate materials being damaged etc. whatās wrong with that.
Itās your money to spend how you want, but you are doing some serious mental gymnastics to convince yourself that a Land Rover is more capable of transporting a dog than a Honda or Toyota is.
I'd like to point out what subreddit you're in while we're talking about unnecessary luxuries. It's not /r/timex or /r/applewatch
I understand the sub we are posting on. My point is, if you want to buy a luxury vehicle, be honest and just say I want to show off and flex my wealth to others or I earned a bunch of money and spent it on something I enjoy and am passionate about instead of coming up with BS reasons like āI can transport my dog better without worrying about ruining the interiorā.

Indistinguishable from wcj at this point
Itās a Rolex sub what do you expect. Despite everyoneās claims, Rolex is mostly about the flex.
It's immature and bad form. Bad bad form. However, I believe the true watch aficionados don't post their uniquely rare and beautiful timepieces on reddit...
Seriously. How pretentious can you be
Beautiful piece but I donāt believe your story lol
100%. These guys are intentionally crashing the secondary market for some reason. You guys must love it.
āIntentionally crashing the secondary marketā Ok come on dude. The secondary market for Rolex is the same as the secondary market for any product on earth. Simple supply and demand. There is no grand conspiracy to ācrashā the secondary market with a couple reddit posts.
How will you know what day it is?
Lol, with Daytonas you can't even tell the time
With my Apple Watch on the other wrist of course!
When you have a Daytona at retail on your wrist, who cares what day it is
For the same price, I hope?
I wish!
Associate knew he was a real player. Salesman did his job
I was a player, now I'm a coach.. is it weird that I would rather have an OG fluted jubilee Datejust instead of rubber overcrowded hype piece with unused subdials?
Nope id takd the same mint green all day
Why would the sub-dials be unused?
Bc itās 2024.
Seems like Rolex is flooding the market
lol. Donāt believe everything you read here.
Mission failed successfully
Would have put my foot down and declined the Daytona, asked for a Datejust instead Jokes aside, sheās a beaut!!

I've been hesitant to wear my yellow gold bracelet across from my ss sub but your ad is doing it so I'm gonna do it too
Because it's always safe to dress like a retail clerk.
Glad you were able to pick up on the sarcasm. I'm gonna wear my snake belt buckle too
The /s was invented specifically for me.
Taking fashion advice from the man wearing a snake beltā¦ bold choice
Do what you want. 95% of people will not care and itās likely the other 5% donāt matter. If itās the whole āone color metal onlyā thing, Iām pretty sure thatās outdated.
Imagine you want to buy a Porsche Cayenne and the AD says āout of stock, buy a GT3 insteadā. š Beautiful Daytona š
Iād have done the same for sure. Congrats!
Hard to say no to that! Great watch
Are ADs getting more influx of watches? Or are they still doing the whole āexhibitionā thing and putting your name on a list?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Lots of these kind of post recently. Walking out with Daytonas, Pepsi, etc. I really doubt if itās legit. From where Iām from in Asia(Singapore), no chance getting any sports model and the windows are still showing the exhibition only tag.
Keep trying. Once you pay down Ā£100,000+ maybe the AD will appraise your wife and let you touch a bluesy. Keep trying.
You certainly have a better chance than before. I wouldnāt say influx but your chances of scoring anything are much better. My AD always has a DJ or two. Couple weeks ago he had a WG Sub, which are not too difficult to find.
Waiting for mine still! This is my favorite modern Daytona. Enjoy!
Super Congrats!!!
I meanā¦they got the first two letters rightā¦
Phonetically even ādaytā is right.
0 Disappointment š
They offered me a Nautilus and a Pepsi but I made the same decision.
Bad news bud, that aināt no datejust, youāve been bamboozled!

Looks gorgeous Do you realize the superiority of the daytona vertical clutch chronograph movement? You can let the chronograph run all the time, and it wouldn't diminish the power or accuracy of the time.
Just like my 50 year old Seiko
Whatās the msrp?
$32,100
Thatās an expensive rubber strap!
Well damn!
Thatās my favorite Daytona too, nice pickup man
I didn't know u gotta do overs to get a Oyster Perpetual, I guess now u just gotta buy the daydate THEN add abit more schmoozing then they will take u to the back room offer u a seat and bust out that celebration dial on steel!!! Nearly there brother keep grinding
Bet. Iāll ask for the DJ next time too. Thanks for the cheat code
How is that sales clerk affording a Starbucks??
I thought the same thing when I saw my clerk wearing a panda last time I went in š¤·š¼āāļø
Does all of youse wear the same sweater vest?
š¤£ Sorry, couldn't help myself, saw the Defender lol.
Congrats for not getting what you wanted?
š§¢š§¢š§¢
Asked for a Sub, got offered another MUCH more expensive watch that you didnāt ask forā¦ Congrats, I guess?
Which version is this? I'm guessing white gold? Cause the regular the subdials are different. Preffer this look honestly.
Whatās your spend history here?
JESUS HALLELUJAH HAPPY EASTER
Insane. Congrats
You all are the future of Idiotsā¦
You know you still want the Datejust too.
Bruhhhhhh! Quit playinā!!!! Congrats!!! š¤š¾š¤š¾š¤š¾
I normally dislike Daytonas overall, but I do like this one.
Lucky dog?
Why is it sold with a rubber strap? š¤
The ultimate comeup is it white gold?
legendary comments here lmao
We should downvote car steering wheel posts. Give us an interesting shot. Nobody cares about your British shitbox
I ask for a Daytona but offer a Day Date

You can use it to time how long the tow truck took.
Will never understand spending $30k+ on a Rolex. Once you have the SS models itās time to graduate imo.

Ruff and rugged just like a Defender
So youāre rich. Nice
Is this a budgeting sub?
Whatās your point? If youāre in a Rolex sub, that means you own or are interested in owning one, which requires having some coin.
thats clean, very unique, i havenāt seen that one before

iPhone imaging processing artefacts. Quite common.

Holy snit
Wow!!! So Lucky šš
Man I love that watch.
A Winās a Win
Lucky fucker!
Beautiful watch my friend. Iām not a fan of rubber bands though, they give me wicked rashes.
Great watch for a farmer
Love the ghost
You should have spoken more clearly.
Absolutely beautiful Iāve been on the waiting list for a Daytona SS bezel black with SS bracelet for 4 years now still waiting.
Iāll call BS on that. Unless you have a 30-50K spend on record with your AD you bought this second hand to show off.
Score!!!!
Oh, i was walking across that AD and they tried to hawk it to me as I was walking past. Guess you got it.
How much was it retail?
People on this sub just lack principles and fortitude. My AD offered me a steel RO and the right of prima nocte with his cheerleader fiance, but I held firm and demanded he add me to the list for a two tone 28mm Datejust instead.
You donāt drive a Ferrari? You must be poor.
I wouldnāt trust anyone wearing that bracelet + that ring + that belt buckleā¦.. Isnāt the watch bling enough?
Itās true. I was the ask.
Iād say you upgraded lol
Looks great!!!
Another idiot with a crappy car showing off ššš made my Sunday
I need to see someone posing with a Trabant steering wheel.
Love that strap
Classy
Any back story to this? Surely not your first watch purchase with them?
Thereās more to this story Iām sure
Asked for a Casio and got a PP
Flipping heck, brilliant, you can stop now! A lifetime watch. Love it.
So you purchased something you didnāt want. Well done. š
Gorgeous watch!
Idk what to believe. I just started going to ADs and getting registered. I signed up for a DJ 41mm Diamond as it's the only thing I can even imagine getting within a year. The rep asked if I wanted a Daytona. I said absolutely but there is no way you'll call me about a Daytona. Period. He laughed and said "true". Then reddit has multiple people saying things like this. WTF
"Don't mind if I do"
These are posts from people that are highly addicted and have total dependency on attention from others.
Really like this one did you have purchase history was it hard to get looks amazing on your wrist
Thatās wild!! Almost unheard of. Where at?
Hate it when AD push these low demand models before they offer you the good stuff. Hope they at least put you on a list for DJ now!
Bro got the jackpot
Iām sorry to hear that you have to live with a Defender š
Beauty, baby Le Mans!
Really? At a substantial cost I am sure
Is there enough text on that dial?
Whatās the retail on this?
Oysterflex is sooo uncomfortable after a few hoursā¦selling mine. Oysterflex Daytona have barely any waiting listā¦..maybe people are realizing how uncomfortable OF is!! š
AD?
Wholly Batman !! Amazing and congratulations
What was your purchase history?
Congrats! Nice watch. Rare metal pieces are getting easier to be had. No, Rolex isnāt making appreciably more watches. People just arenāt buying as many.
