[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 3960730, member: 13284"] I 100% agree on the circus of purchasing one through an AD. People on the wait lists don't seem to have a problem, but I find all the hoops that you have to jump through demeaning as hell. Just buy something on the gray market from a trusted seller and be done with it. I personally wouldn't wear anything with Rolex branding on it as an everyday wearer. In my line of work, it's not a great look when you're in someone's home, supposedly selling them a service under the guise that it's affordable. I'd either be pegged as a d*****bag poser or as a sales consultant that rapes his clientele to fund his $10k timepiece. An Explorer is much more under the radar than a Sub, but it still has the logo on the dial nonetheless. I've also gotten a bad taste in my mouth over what seems to be a lot of Rolex owners' need for validation over the brand of timepiece that they wear. All while 90+% couldn't even name the specs, caliber, or reference of their watch. They bought it solely as a status symbol. [/QUOTE]
