Erm, you shouldn't be able to reach a point where you "cannot wind anymore" blink.gif

Found the following useful tips (I edited some) from another fora,

1. Think for yoruself and decide
2. Any 2 tones or gold Rolex is ridiculous if you are below 50 yo
3. Don't buy a Rolex just because it is a Rolex
4. Buy what you like
5. Just buy a pre-owned 16600 Sea Dweller and live happily ever after
6. Disregard 2-6 and refer back to 1

That's why you should invest in a Rolex as a hedging against the market...

But no thanks. The diver I want is Fifty Fathoms, not the Sub. Datejust > Sub.
Hell, I'd choose a GMT Master II over a Sub.

ya well 39mm is still ok, even tho it was trying to play catch-up.
but air king at 40mm? thats just messing with history.
and its completely diluting the line at that size, with explorer, oyster and now this.
anyway, good thing im not a lolex fanboy tongue.gif

Well, I'm looking for a birth year piece, and lolex is probably the one choice I have sad.gif

i am a first time watch buyer. i found a few submariner selling in mudah for 10 to 12k. the problem is the sellers are usually located in far off places like Northern n southern states.  if i were to travel to meet the seller, what should i ask to see? What questions should i ask? is there such thing as certificate of authenticity?
*
yes, if they don't have it then don't get it. Also look at the service history as well.

Another first timer here –  even if the watch checks out fine at RSC, how important are boxes/manuals/certs for non-vintage pieces (say a 1980s or 90s)? Is the sale really dubious?
*
Not much dubious, but you have to be clear that those periperal items are a big part of that piece's worth and value, without those, the price should not be the same a another piece with the complete set.

So, if you plan to buy n sell, this is a risk to take. If it's for self use, nego the price down hard and wear it in joy with the mind that the next time when you do want to sell, you might have to take a loss on it.

iirc, prices in Malaysia are usually more favourable compared to UK, even with the VAT factored in.

But the weakening of pound and the rumoured adjustment in price again might make thing different.

Any place to buy a Tudor Black Bay Bronze straps 🤔
*
Any NATO strap will fit as long as you get the correct size ones (in your case it will be 22mm).

You have cheapo ones from China that cost under one ringgit per piece all the way to branded ones from Omega that cost couple hundred.

In general, BluShark, Toxic, Haveston and DaLuca are highly regarded and are usually on the higher ends for NATOs. I'm also a big fan of the Marine Nationale but never have the chance to try one yet.

If you are looking for something to start with but just above the cheap China ones, I think in Malaysia bro AppleDarren is selling them and you can also try cheapestnato or natostrapco.

Eventually settled for the black GMT from KLCC. I gave up on Batman even though that was the much preferred model.

Hmm, did you try the AD in Pavillion?

Ah, sorry to hear that. I remember seeing it somewhere, but it might be my bad memory.

Anyway, congratulations on your new purchase, wear it in good health!

You are very lucky to get a batman from AD...I have tried for the last 6 months but finally gave up. They told me that the wait is 2 years?? That's not acceptable la

Actually a bit late, but I found a batman today talking to a watch shop. doh.gif

Like a poster said above I guess, you will find people willingly pay a premium to bypass the wait.

Question is are you tongue.gif
