Co Sign.
I got a pre-owned date just years ago and I too wish I invested to make money instead of wearing it.
Fixed
I'm not in the market for one, probably never will be, but I and a few friends have found good deals on used watches on the Watchuseek.com forums. I've seen Rolexes on there, as well as Omegas and Breitlings. I've had my eye on a Hamilton, as it's more in my price range. You'll want to research the seller and all that jazz, but it may be a solid resource for you.
It appears that you both made bad decisions by buying a Rolex without having a solid investment first. OP seems to be investing hard already, according to his investment threads.
OP has the disposable funds, let him enjoy it. It's not like he's throwing money away.
I knew I was doing well when 90% of the niggas I ran into in the street would ask me what i'd been up to, and follow it up with
"must be nice." or "everybody ain't able."
jump you a datejust and enjoy your gotdamn life/money

I'm less than an hour from pulling the trigger. Any last words of wisdom for me?
Pulled the trigger! 
Found a 10% off coupon, tried it, and it worked!!!
Plus they gave me an extra $10 off for some reason. Don't know why.
But I have purchased from them before so...

Why dudes gotta lie? If you won 80 million dollars you'd probably have a Rolex belt and Rolex bed sheets

Oh yeah and they didn't charge me tax! Yet...
I wish I would have jumped on those when they came out, value went way up.
I have purchased some Rolexes used on ebay, including from Govberg Watches. They look like new, and price is (relatively) strong.
10 years ago you could have got a Submariner for $3000-$3500 used, now they are $5500+, and there are millions of them out there. Hard to believe the demand is that high.
I enjoy wearing them very much. If you have really got it, do it.
And post a pic of the one you just bought PD.
id be scared to buy any expensive watch over the internet im not willing to take the chance of it being fake.

Well done, chief. Enjoy it in good health.
Here's my white face with Arabic numerals.
By the way, you got a great deal. I see that it has no lug holes and those are more desirable on the market.
Also, try to add it to your homeowner's or renter's insurance because it will hurt if you ever lose it or if the clean up man takes it.
You are now going to find yourself trying to buy more until your wife says something about it.

That's the joint I got.
A watch is not an investment and thats not why youre buying it. Buy it cuz u want it and can afford it, dont delude yourself. Yes its better than alot of other frivalous shit ppl spend momeny on, and hopefully 4k aint gonna make u or break u.
The ruling class has trained you well. I bet u think you thought of that all by yourself too.
Checked my email and it said they shipped it yesterday!!! I'm almost officially a BGOL balla!

No not till I get mine

Believe or not, I really wouldn't be interested.
I'm planning on getting a Tudor for my b-day.
