There's been lots of love for macho watches lately. I'll pass, but I love the look on others. DearSugar, quite the watch aficionado, pointed this Vintage Rolex® 14k gold "shell" Oyster Perpetual on riveted Oyster bracelet, circa 1960s ($5,200) out to me. It appears J.Crew is exclusively featuring vintage Rolex watches. It compliments J.Crew's cool, yuppy vibe, but I still refuse to spend that much on a timepiece. Thoughts?

I like it, but it's too expensive for me!
1I love it! sadly out of my price range.
2i wish i could afford it
3it's a beautiful watch but until I win the lottery ...
4Can't afford either
5My parents both wear Rolexs, but they have a lot of money...me, not so much
I cannot afford
it, but I love it!
6Am I the only one who hates it?
7Gold watches are just not for me I see...
I LOVE it but I HATE wearing watches for some reason.
8I love old menswear watches against feminine clothing. I only wish I could afford it!
9absolutely love it.
10I see I'm only the second person to hate it. I associate gold watches with tacky men who wants to look wealthy, because that was all the rage around here in the late 80s - early 90s.
11It's pretty and polished looking but I'm not a fan of gold.
The only watch I'd ever spend that much on is a Breitling for my husband. My mom has a Rolex and I'm just not impressed with it. Of course, I'm not much of a watch person; I only own a Bvlgari my husband bought me and a Guess? bracelet watch.
12i love it! i want a vintage rolex in lieu of an engagement ring
13OMG I love it!
14My husband wears a Rolex Oyster, but I'm not into the Rolex brand at all. I neither love nor hate it. Ok, I like the color of the band.
15love it. it's classic.
16for that much? yuck. i don't really wear watches that often anyway but this one would never fit with my style. not a fan of gold either.
17love it but the cost is prohibitive.
18It's not my style and I hardly ever wear a watch, but it's nice.
19Unimpressed. The only thing I thing when I see someone with a Rolex is "Wow, you spend thousands of dollars on a tacky watch"...I could see dropping a few hundred on a high quality watch that will last a lifetime...but not several thousand for a status symbol.
20Dislike; not my style.
21I love it. I really want a black rolex. I have one now that has a pink face and it's a stainless steel.
22Too expensive.
23You can get a Michael Kors watch for $200 that looks just like that.
I have a silver one.
Love it!
24Love that watch, hate the price.
25it's like a fine wine
26i can see the allure of a Rolex but i find it so ugg
27Very nice site!
