Hi guys, new here. Took a plunge on a S&G BB at 13k. Normally buy used but I don’t plan to flip this at all. Let my heart make the decision this time and did not go with a seamaster. Not used to buying new as I usually buy used. Is this a good price? Good to know if it is haha for my peace of minduser posted image

If buy already, don't ask so much about price anymore. That'll give you that peace of mind

My advice, don't ever flip a Rolex for a Cartier.

It's not worth it laugh.gif

Nice parlay. Was the other purchase higher value than the sub?

Is it possible to buy a pre loved 214270 for RM15000?
*
In the last 2 years, I've not seen a 6-digit explorer being listed below 20k. However, whether it's transacted at below 15k is another matter. Depends on condition of the watch, box & papers included and how desperate is the seller.

Omega which watch can keep the value ?

In my view, only Rolex got track record of keeping value. Even patek not so liquid. Although there's a premium on patek but reselling is going to be a challenge. Those who can afford patek, why would they buy second hand?

How to ensure pre-owned is real? Fakes nowadays also made from oystersteel, movement also copied until the exact replica. Check out watchfinder's latest video on fake rolexes. Pating 30-50k premium on a steel sports watch feels so cheated/scalped and if fake lagi wanna rage..

I've been in and out ADs in Kl and Pg and still get the same look (of pity) from salesmen whenever I inquire about any of the models that I have put on the list.  I get better treatment, walking into Bentley, RR or Ferrari showrooms than a Rolex AD.

Am I resigned to the fact that I may never buy steel Rolexes in my lifetime?  cry.gif

Can consider Bently, RR or Ferrari means can pay premium to gray resellers la. Also, can consider Bently, RR or Ferrari means got connection to AD wut... cannot activate that cable meh? Friend of a friend of a friend...

There are many ways to own a Rolex. All the best thumbsup.gif

Pay is can, but kena con is no-no. Money hard earned not like Rosmah and gang.

Grey reseller/ pre-owned too high.

Ya, I think the pre-owned route also way too overpriced now.

Luckily I got mine before all this nonsense

I see it going either two ways - one is that of what is being experienced in the Art world. Out of control prices due to money laundering activities and “investors” seeking a safe haven to retain their wealth. The other is that of a huge market crash and everyone starts to panic sell their stash of watches. If this happens, the speculators and investors will just move on to the next big thing while the grey dealers are left in shambles. It would be very good for collectors but not so good for the manufacturers, authorized dealers and grey market.

I'm just waiting for this to happen. I'm very curious how these unscrupulous greys are able to tahan so long. When the bubble pops, that's the time I'll aim for my grail piece.


QUOTE(friedricetheman @ Apr 27 2021, 08:29 PM)
The bad thing about Rolexes is that they are too high profile nowadays. Too many influencers flexing Rolexes which makes it the number one target for muggers.

This is one reason why I hesitate to wear mine out, but nowadays not going anywhere so just keep in the pouch tongue.gif

Crazy price. And this might not even a BNIB.

Any tips on how to get Pepsi earliest possible?
Survey through few ADs but most of them say better go grey market to source.

Spend 300K above buying pieces that no one wants, then also need to every week suck cock of the sales exec

Or pay 3 times retail, go grey

this is a stupid game doh.gif
