QUOTE(infiniti123 @ Apr 5 2022, 02:16 PM) the LYN watch forum is only active by a mere handful of people and i dare vouch we are a group of real watch enthusiast and not people who are chasing watches for "value" Interesting observation. Just curious, could you elaborate on why do you say the sprite gmt is the least effort? Do you mean the design, the movement? hence regardless the views we give mr new account, the watch is gonna set like hot cake similarly as all sport models, i've seen asking prices at a ridiculous 200k. but in terms of watches and wonders 2022, what rolex released and especially the Destro GMT is the least effort and least interesting watch i've seen in a LONG time. The only interesting Rolex released for me personally was the Falcon eye white gold YM. I agree with the white gold YM. Looks awesome! |

QUOTE(Chinoz @ Apr 6 2022, 11:04 AM) Looks weird to me but probably just a matter of getting used to. The rolex pepsi is iconic, isn't it? You can tell it from 6ft away. You mean the starbucks?I still prefer a Pepsi, although won’t say no if offered one - I prefer the green to the blue of the BLNR. If no intention of going grey, your only choice would be to visit an AD and express your interest in this model. It is not as hot a model compared to the other staples, but at a time when even the AK is hyped, nothing surprises me anymore these days. Or alternatively, drop down to the BB Pro, although I’m sure that won’t be easy to come by either. |

QUOTE(Davez89 @ Apr 6 2022, 03:24 PM) Even if u're on top of the list.. Wouldn't they give to vvip first? Let me try to answer that. Yes, i know people who gotten calls from AD waitlist despite no history of buying. But these are very very very rare. Its also for generic models. Last year i heard someone got a no date submariner ref no. 124069. But to answer your question, there is.Just curious if anyone gotten calls from waiting list the past few years.

QUOTE(infiniti123 @ Apr 7 2022, 11:09 AM) its basicially a terbalik watch. Even the date window is at the 9'o lock rather than the 3'o clock. all rolex had to do was do a different dial interface and boom, the watch is done. I think its more to cater to the lefthanders? But as to why rolex want to go down this route, i don't get it. Apparently left handers only makes up smtg like 10% of the total population. I'm betting my last dollar that there would be the same design watch for right handers in the near future.but im not hating on rolex la bro i still love them as i've always gotten my pieces for retail up until 2021, remembering the days when i was offered both the a sub-date and a batman on the same day the only retail piece i'm looking for right now is a 2-tonne explorer 36. other than that no other watches really interest me right now from them. |

QUOTE(infiniti123 @ Apr 17 2022, 02:51 PM) Panda less than 200k? Guess prices are finally getting back do early 2021 prices. RIP to those who chased to the moon and purchased them at 240-260 thinking they’ll go 300🫢🫢 Prices of all rolex on the secondary market are declining gradually since 2 months ago. This is due to several factors, mainly seasonality (demand tends to peak at the end/beginning of the year and as such traders do not trade - buy and sell/stock) as often). Further (to a lesser degree), as a result of the war in Ukraine, Rolex has banned exports to Russia which means more stocks for the existing other markets coupled with the lockdown in Shanghai/parts of China all leads to gradual decline in demand and as a result, decline in price as well. However, price is expected to climb towards end of the year once all these clears up. |

QUOTE(rx330 @ Apr 18 2022, 10:34 AM) did u also forsee the price will shoot up post covid during the 3rd quarter of 2020? Honestly no. But then again I am not always right. I tot rm250k is only panda, the black one also so high ar? Nobody can predict the market accurately. The rolex daytona 116500 LN "Godzilla" 2022 should be about rm175k - rm200k. Definately not rm250k |

QUOTE(khyuen @ Jun 13 2022, 10:49 PM) https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/johor-...-austin-2743746 This is clearly an insider job most likely done by the buyer. No way random robbers could have known transaction is taking place in the VIP room. The fact that the robbers ignored the rest and went straight to vip room confirms this. As sellers they should have hired some personal security as well esp when they show so many watches.Got to be extra careful with your Rollie's these days. |

QUOTE(swanlover @ Aug 1 2022, 12:08 PM) But why would AD wanna sell u rm30k for a sub when Rolexseller123 offer them cash on table plus share profits? Ummm... contrary to popular believes, we don't buy from AD directly. I know its hard to believe, but really, we don't. not because we don't want to but because the AD would never sell to grey dealers like us in the quantity that we require. We can't just go into AD and buy up all the SS models. It does not work like that.New Rolex policy even worst, u need to spend certain amounts to be eligible for a sport model as VIP. Like tat, all grey memang VIP as they been buying monthly..lolx |

QUOTE(rx330 @ Aug 15 2022, 09:36 AM) yes, price going down seems like good news for all those who waited This is precisely what always happens.but most still won't buy, if it goes back up, aiyah if only I bought, if price goes below retail like those days, a lot wouldn't have shown interest or even buy dy I personally think for buyers like you, best just put a name in AD, if it calls, u buy, if it doesn't, u no need to be bother about it anyway that's what I do anyway Then when price go up towards the end of the year they all start to beg and threathen say why cannot sell me at lower prices since you grey sellers stock up way before the price went up. I just smile and say well, that's not how it works. Otherwise just wait for your AD to call |

QUOTE(swanlover @ Aug 17 2022, 10:53 PM) No sure if new Rolex policy (must bundle with Rolex/tudor only) applied in Malaysia. If so, all sport model will go to big rollers /grey... It has always been that way since 4/5 years ago. New buyer will have no chance to get anything..not.even a datejust...lolx! That is nothing new. From the AD perspective it also makes sense. Why should they sell an in demand SS model to some random walk in customer with no track record and no relationship? Why not sell it to their loyal customer instead. Its just business. |

QUOTE(swanlover @ Aug 20 2022, 11:17 AM) Its no longer that easy to get DJ, I know local greys are ‘sapu-ing’ DJ stock everywhere due to fact that DJ buyers are picking up… Not really la.Because the markup of DJ is not as bad as sport model.. Its sapu-ed by those who want to "build relationship" with AD to get the hard-to-get Sports model. Like they will buy 3-4 watches including DJ so that they can get on the list for a Pepsi. Most flip the DJ to greys at cost or at a small loss right after they got em |

QUOTE(swanlover @ Aug 22 2022, 06:20 PM) They will allocate (not promise) Pepsi to you if you can spend rm200-250k to buy any junks that is available at the shelves (or current stock).. Buy rm200k-rm250k worth of crap just so you can buy a pepsi? Is it worth it?They won’t care about your buying history..unless u walk in and say ‘what u got? Just tapau for me..’ then u will get the Pepsi very fast.. My friend did that..lolx |

QUOTE(alternativehype @ Aug 24 2022, 09:21 AM) Sure. But do the math. Unless you really want the other watches you average out and you will realise the premium you pay is even more than you pay the grey dealers. But sure. I get some people just hate grey dealers and willing to pay more just to get it from AD. To each their own. My message is obviously to those who are concious about $$$$ |
