Folks, what are other Rollie models under-rated? Besides TOG, Milgauss

I once show my TOG in the forum and ppl accuse me of wearing a fake rolex.

Now i shy to wear in real life too because ppl will think its fake coz its kinda rare

: (

Got quoted RM3000+ to service at the RSC. Bloody hell mahal laaa

Haha. Is there anyway to have someone open up the caseback and have alook inside? Penang lang here....

can... saw a lady wearing a tt blue sub... the week after that an ap diver

the sub looks pretty good also

End up the wife let me use it first, until next year when i intend to get the Omega Planet Ocean 39.5mm (not sure consider this upgrade or downgrade of the sub haha)
I would like to authenticate it as a priority ofcourse, and since the watch is 6 years old, i thought might as well service it sekali...but the price is a real put off lo.

Anyway, what do you guys think about regularly servicing the watch at 5 year interval...got necessary or not...the price mahal weiii

Was travelling earlier this month:



Also took the opportunity to check out the 116619:

But do you have any idea that with a markup of almost double the MSRP, how long will it take before retail and preowned prices catch up with it? A long, long time.

Even when the new ceramic Sea Dweller was launched a few years ago, it was going for double its retail price. Those people whom bought it at that price are still not able to break even on it. Worse still, currently you can buy brand new DSSD for retail or less.

Edit - there is definately a trend towards two tone and precious metal Rolex in western countries at the moment. Ownership of DJ41 and DD40 which is only available in two tone and precious metal at the moment is quite high among 20-30 year old Rolex collectors in other countries.

Are they your watches?

I actually have one watch from each of of those pics. Hehe.

Im more attracted to omega lately because of its newer movement and also because its half the price of the rolex.

Haha yeah i understand the feeling of changing dates. I finally understand the allure of no-date watches after getting the speedy pro.

As for the quickset hour vs regular date setting, that depends on individual preferance liau.

By the way, do invest in a watch winder la. I got one recently and really does make my life easier.

Everdying I was expecting +3kkk chipping in this thread too haha.

Er...got anyone caught in lowyat forum?

he's famous here too? i thought he's a guitar freak

he shows no interest in watches at all

wah... didn't know that, always talk makan with him only

i go kacau him first

you all guitar kakis is it?

yeah, his guitars expensive... can buy a few rolex

Wah you guys damn hardcore guitarist.

I only collect violins.

Are guitars the same as violins where the older and more mature the violin, the more mellow the sound? Violin wood when aged will sound different from a young violin, even if it is from the same violin maker using the exact same type of wood.

The vibrations produced when bowing or plucking the violin opens up the pores on the wood. Over time, the violin will be more rich in sound.

This is only true of handmade violins. China cheap ass violins cannot mature due to the cheap ass type of wood used.

Dear Rolex gurus in Lyn, wanted to ask if anyone can guide me in this matter;

Recently in a market for a pre-owned Rolex, normally I reside in Aus but due to favourable currency rates, Malaysia is a much better place to get luxury watches.

Normally I use credit card. However, I came across Swiss Connection in The Weld, Kuala Lumpur, seems like their policy is Cash only.

For a watch that cost rm20k, is it normal for you guys to use cash as transaction?
I thought of using credit card, but didn't know that is the case for them.
Not used to carrying money over 1 or 2k in cash at all.

Anyone here can shed some light? If it is quite normal, then no choice, I have to withdraw cash just to buy this wonderful timepiece!
Thank you heaps!!
