Throw that fake lolex away bud.

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

Yape, authenticate and service one shot at rsc.

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

the sub looks pretty good also

u want to service or authenticate 1st?
there is obviously a difference.
authenticate is only rm200+.
service at that price im guessing its a vintage piece already.
talking about ur wife?

6yrs old and rm3k+ for service? thats abit too much.
only service when its needed, no need for preventive maintenance etc.

a sub is a downgrade on ur character.
k time to hide from the lolex fanbois

I saw that pepsi here in SG too, the AD quoted me S$40,800... Cannot afford

I am a huge fan of Rolex watches. Their quality control is second to none. They may not be the most expensive watch brand but they sure are one of the best in terms of robustness, ease of serviceability and evergreen designs.

I own a Datejust, Submariner and Daytona.

Am planning to add a Day-Date 40 in the future once the issues with the new movements have been ironed out.

Good for you, I was told 116500 Daytona is currently 30K mark up selling at RM75k now.

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.

If you feel its like a showoff, then why did you but it ?
Always remember this, wear/use whatever you bought happily without worrying about what others have to say. If you're going to be worried of how people judge you, then life is going to be hard.

YOLO, "You Only Live Once' so why worries about others ?

Am currently bored and a little tipsy on a slow Saturday night. One too many glasses of wine. Lol.

So, am doing a little Rolex vs Omega comparison.

Rolex Datejust vs Omega Aqua Terra 8500

Rolex Submariner vs Omega Seamaster GMT

Rolex Daytona vs Omega Speedmaster Professional

My thoughts. Rolex is more refined. The dial looks better and the finishing looks more jewelry like. Omega is more tool like and the finishing on the case and bracelet are a bit more muted.

Rolex is a piece of jewelry and the 904l steel does look more grayish  and looks almost like Grade 5 titanium in color when compared to the steel that Omega and other manufacturers are using. Omega steel looks brighter and more steel like.

Thank you for reading through my long winded post. Pictures are old pictures on my phone as I am too tipsy to take any new pictures.

Yup. They are my watches. They are a part of my 8 watch collection.

Omega is ok but I think I am satisfied with the Omega's I have now.

I am now more into Rolex as they are still underpriced compared to the other high end stuff. Rolex is one of the few true in-house manufacturers whom even smelt their own gold and platinum that are still affordable.

I hedge and bought up Omega in the late 00's to early 10's before they increase their prices drastically. Now I think it's time to hop over to the Rolex wagon as they are still somewhat undervalued.

Just my two cents.

I was going for a Rolex vs Omega theme. Now that it is completed, I am selling one of my other piece and bringing in an AP ROO that my friend is selling due to it not getting any wrist time.

Then, I would probably get rid of the final piece that is not Rolex or Omega and get a Day Date as the final watch to complete my 8 watch collection.

i dont like the newer movements from both...me and quick-set hour movements dont get along.
considering i rotate pieces, and i dont own a watch winder...sometimes when it comes to put one on...i have to wind the crown like 30-40+ times to set the date.
one of the main reasons i dont keep anymore quick-set hour pieces.

for me is practicality.
say u dont wear for 2 weeks, to set the date again using quick-set hour is about 50 turns of the crown...roughly 3-4 turns to cycle thru 24hrs... x14.
compared to around 7(?) only with regular date.

unless its the SM300 tribute with no-date...then ok

im not sure what the fascination is with quick-set hour...seems every new movement is going that path...perhaps its the manufacturers idea of offering something new so they can charge more compared to what its worth.
like they think quick-set date is antiquated and best left to entry lvl movements now...even tho all the classic vintage movements are quick-set date and up to the early 00s.
