    Hi T2, just one for myself...� [:)]

    I do plan to make a trip over to Europe in a few months time, so was considering to buy a watch in Paris.

    having said that, if a local set price isn't far off, I would just get it here...

    Bro..if you wanna get Rolex, don't get it in Europe. Very hard to negotiate and the prices are just so-so

    I found that a good place to bargain for Rolex is Dubai.� Walk into Dubai mall, there is a rolex boutique there and they are pretty hard up for your business.

    Of course, HK is also a good place.

    I think GMT2 is a good choice. Milgauss still not that special imho. So can wait till have spare cash/wanna-reward-yourself-with-something-day then consider buying it.

    for such watches, is it worthy to get a pre owned or brand new?

    as for TT, correct me if i'm wrong. submariner also got TT right?

    so far, this 2 models are the one that has TT (black with gold)

    my first branded watch was a rolex boy, those with little diamonds..

    looks so small and funny when i wear them..

    after a year, i sold it away like 4k..

    i used to own a lot of watches, i only left around 10pcs for now..

    those normal brands only

    doesnt anyone here collects watches that are below 2k in price? there's so many so called good brands in this range that it's difficult for a newbie like me to choose from. but in this thread...all are way beyond my tagets. hehehe

    preown or new depends.

    for some discon models which you like, u can only get preown.

    sometimes preown prices and brand new may not differ too much, so might as well get new.

    sub has 2 TT, in blue or black.

    gmt2c only has TT in black.

    Can one lah bro!

    We aim this yr and buy together. Maybe gather a few more bros here and create a rolex group buy. hahha.

    For your qns, Sub and GMT2 serve different purpose for the wearer. even thou the looks is almost the same.

    In simple terms,

    Sub is a pure diver watch.

    GMT2 is a world time watch.

    actually Rolex thesedays are quite common.

    Few days back, I was eating at Pastamania, the waitress auntie was wearing a silver datejust serving plates and cleaning tables.� For awhile, I thought of Mr. Throttle who also cleans table and like rolex.

    BTW, I am looking for a pre-own 116523 half gold Daytona with white dial. Anyone got lobang please PM me.

    Nice in the picture, but I find the real watch a bit too dark.

    There is another version with an ivory dial which I think is nicer and easier to read.

    Dont like the ceramic bezel daytona.
    Looks nice but somehow in a toyish manner.

    Still prefer the standard non ceramic bezel daytonas

    Will be on the look out for white gold diamond dial one with black croco strap.

    Cant rotate, just make sure you take the pics in landscape mode and the correct side up.

    Very elegant IWC complications.
    How much for that?

    Listed 55k. Boutique can give me 52k. AD can give me 45k or so. Havent checked the grey imports though.

    It looks really nice on my wrist, even my wife says so. But at that price range..... can get a PP or lange, non-perpetual though. Dont really need a perpetual calendar anyway but the iwc looks really good on me.

    See how lah. Got a few big ticket items coming up. Two family trips with my folks and in-laws. Parents' car COE due this year. Wife may be full time SAHM. May not be a good time to get another watch.

    Actually one good one is really good enough.
    I wore my Sub exclusively for 8 good years, never thought i needed anything better, then the poison started.

    I think the item truly becomes yours when it's been with you through the good times and the bad.
    I think nothing can quite replace my Sub after 15-16 yrs...
    Not my Daytona that i've worn for 8yrs, not my daydates nor my GMT gold Sub gold etc....
    Those are still more of part of my wardrobe than part of me when compared to the Sub.

    Sometimes, its this thought that prevents me from buying anymore becos it becomes just another watch.

    Anyway, food for thought ..... Doesnt mean i wont buy another lah, hahah

    Dont like the ceramic bezel daytona.
    Looks nice but somehow in a toyish manner.

    Still prefer the standard non ceramic bezel daytonas

    Will be on the look out for white gold diamond dial one with black croco strap.

    The ceramic bezels can take hard knocks and still won't scratch!

    I have the new GMT Master 2 with the ceramic bezel and I am so wow by the fact that accidental knocks or brushes with chairs, tables, etc...does not produce any scratches� at all.

    But my JLC reverso with SS case can easily scratch if I accidentally brush it on chairs, tables, walls, etc...

    I also have the new GMt2 with ceramic bezel.
    Even the old bezel doesnt scratch easily, actually.
    My old subs and gmT bezels are all looking fine after many many years
    Ceramic doesnt scratch easily but can crack and chip.

    Anyway, its not the material that i dont like.
    Its the color of the bezel which makes the Daytona116515 look overall toyish as mentioned.
    Still nice but toyish.

    I just rather the normal bezel.

    the choice is like buying a top of line VW with lots of gadgets.. And choosing between a Basic 7 series with lesser gadgets.. Which will u go for..

    No right and wrong for the car as both looks equally old after 10 years.

    But for the watch.. If u haven't tell it's 50k.. I wouldn't know too. But if it's a good PP, I will know it's definitely not cheap.

    There is another version with an ivory dial which I think is nicer and easier to read.

    Tank from Cartier is a good collectible watch, The other one is Santos.

    Not much maintenance to take care about,� just becareful of scratching the SS around the case. The case is almost a scratch magnet but can be polished off when you bring it for servicing once every few years.

    Normally, i would say , dont buy it if you are too afraid of scratching it.

    Dont worry, i recommend you a cure for your fear of scratching it while wearing it.
    Scratch it with a swiss army knife right across the lugs and the case.
    Now, your fear is eliminated.

    My JLC reverso has scratches too and sometimes it's self inflicted because friends like to turn the case over to see the caseback. And they anyhow turn.... :angry:�

    Is it safe buying from shops like Chuan Watch when buying new rolex? Do we need to do verification?

    Normally their new rolex watches are from overseas AD. It comes with full box, warranty and the rolex model card.

    They have been a long time in this business, there is no reason to doubt that they are "not safe"� I have deal with them before, nice folks and it's a family run business with a decent shop at Golden Landmark.

    If one doesn't feel safe, can always pay $107 and verify at Rolex Center.


    yeah but in SS?

    Bro..that's white gold...not SS. And white gold including bracelet

    27k leh.....cannot be SS.

    Not sure if they have yellow gold or not, but if you want black dial with red hands & markings, that's the closest I think.
