I wanted a Rolex yellow OP when it came out, waited for a year for it but then it got discontinued. I changed my ‘reservation’ to a DJ41 green mint. Waited 2 years for that and I guess the market cooled and I’m allowed to buy one. But should I? I really have a hard time struggling to know if I want the watch because I like it, or just because I’ve waited so long for it and it was a very wanted item during the pandemic. It might be a bit too big for me, but it’s a sturdy good watch, but it might be too flashy, but it’s a classic, but it’s a lot of money… Anyways I still have a few days to decide. Not sure if there’s a solution to make a choice I won’t feel icky about later on. “Should/shouldn’t have gotten it”.

    purchase a luxury piece of jewelry that uses outdated technology

    Explain. Mechanical technology is absolutely not “out-dated” compared to electronic tech anymore then a sail boat is “outdated” compared to a powerboat. If you mean that Rolex is using cheaper/worse techniques for their watch compared to some other brand then I’m ready to listen.
    If you mean to compare a mechanical time piece to an Apple Watch, then you are kind of missing the point.
