Thanks for the advice. I have been and will continue to wear it quite often so it is definitely something worth considering

Why not just register it online and get those extra few years of warranty?

You should still be able to register it online.
To my knowledge, the warranty (2+3) is transferable.
That is the carrot they use to get you to register online so that they can track the watch's ownership - a good thing if you ask me.

The initial purchase needs to be made within the ad/boutique network - that might be what friedrice is referring to re: official channels v grey market?

I should also add, a lot of the frequent flyers here have been collectors for 10+ years.

We didnt all become Rolex enthusiasts overnight.

My 14060 came back from RSC recently - 3 month turnaround.

One shows both the day and date, while the other is just date.

43mm roo gambar for reference.

As far as desk ornaments go, here's a modern take on a classic genre.

You know the drill - whack first, ask questions later.

You went straight for the jugular, the top dog - there was ever only going to be one response.

With respect, some perspective is important here.
In asking for these watches, you’re up against the likes of people who’d buy 4 Hublots in one sitting without batting an eyelid.
These guys likely spend in the 6-figure region annually too.
Put yourself in the allocation manager’s shoes, whose interest is aligned with the company, not yours - what would you do?

It is no different from going into Omega and asking for a Snoopy.

I recently picked up an exp1 and I’ve been told I won’t be allocated any more professional models in the next 12 months.
I’m not sure if that policy applies to all ADs (or they’re just indirectly telling me to piss off until next year ), but to me it seems like they’re are trying to spread out the allocations so that it doesn’t all go to a select group of whales.

You don’t pantat. You’d be sour too if you’re not a VIP

Confirm?

It has been awhile since the last price rise though.

Exp1, esp in 36mm form, can be quite low key.

Easily mistaken for a Tudor or a Seiko.

Nothing like a piece that you can rock both to the mall as well as to the mamak

Congrats and hopefully it’s the first of many!

Ending the year with a bang!

Was it a conscious choice to pick the G over the R, or would you have been fine with either?

Wrapping up the year with this one.

Looking forward to seeing more incomings from all you good folks in the new year.

450 - small wrists.

I like mine tight, with no play/movement while on the wrist.
None of my watches have micro-adjustment so they’re all sized a little differently, and I wear them according to what fits for the day’s weather

15450 went up about rm9k - just a hair under rm100k now.

Here’s a watch I’ve been tracking since even before the pandemic, and today they finally had an exhibition model to try on.

Unfortunately, even after ample persuasion, they still wouldn’t sell me one

Didn’t know it became available again. Thanks for the heads up
