I feel sorry for everyone in the watch communities/horologists because u have to ask about the reliability of the brand jlc. Either u’re out of this world or u have ABSOLUTELY no knowledge about watches.
Don’t buy a watch if all u think about if it holds a value.

Anyway, u do have good eyes if the reverso did melt your heart. Cheers!

Got the Seamaster Professional Diver in white dial. Was deciding between the white and grey dials, but ultimately settled on the white. The grey, I think, is more spectacular on days when I'm in the mood for it...it's flashier and sportier. But I have a feeling I will tire of it soon and may regret getting it in that dial. The dial has a very nice sunburst effect, but looks almost glossy to the point like it's a mirror finish (it's not, but at certain glances it feels like it could almost be). The white may not be as shouty, but is perfectly handsome in its own right, and something that suits daily use more. It's also super legible.

I got it at Watatime Sunway Pyramid at 15% off retail price. Other ADs didn't have white in stock and Omega Boutiques could only do 5% discount.

The scalloped bezel is pretty hard to rotate though, coin bezels are much, much easier to grip and turn. The haptics when rotating is also not as good as my Black Bay 58. But apart from that, I love it.

U’re welcome but I’m not a sifu though.
Rest assured if u’ve a jlc on your wrist, u’ll have the respect in the horology world 😊 jlc is known as the watchmakers watch. Do read it up and u will definitely be proud of your reverso. Cheers!

Probably because rolex starts to jual mahal so everyone becomes smarter and turn to its better counterpart, omega.

Rolex were never expensive. It’s the grey market that jacked up the price for desperate idiots dying for a lolex.
I don’t know what’s Rolex doing nowadays but certainly it has caused collectors to lose appeal towards the brand by turning to others eg. Omega

QUOTE(swanlover @ Nov 29 2021, 06:10 PM)
Nowadays, Omega counterpart is Tudor. Rolex hs become sun god now ..lolx

Well said bro!

Rumours has it that these ADs are feeding the grey market a.k.a resellers. That’s why normal collectors won’t stand a chance to purchase one unless they are idiotic/desperate enough to purchase the markedly elevated price from the resellers.
Rolex isn’t doing anything about it.
Most collectors/friends i know of are turning to omega nowadays and they are not looking back.

QUOTE(lovefoe @ Nov 30 2021, 09:07 PM)
waited a year for a simple Datejust 41 but no news at all. Registered with all AD in KL.

so fxck it Rolex. continue your hunger sale game but too bad I m not hungry.

Didnt know new Omega seamaster is so nice. Last check of Omega was 2015 and it was not that great.

Most importantly, I get to see and touch Omega in every shop I go. I wont ever hear "NO STOCK".

Nowadays I walked past a rolex AD with disgust. Stupid ploy by Rolex resulted in flourishing grey markets.
Watch enthusiasts are smart enough to turn to other better options out there rather than to support these grey resellers.
Only those self proclaimed “watch experts” who die die want a lolex will pay the elevated fees to the grey.

QUOTE(lovefoe @ Dec 1 2021, 12:43 PM)
I miss those days where I was able to try out all models in AD. Black Sub, Milgauss, Explorer.......any models of DJ. And still managed to buy my Black Sub with 5% off.

Now, there is only empty display shelf with 2 sales persons playing phone.

It’s really nice to see/hear individuals moving away from the R brand. I personally feel that individuals chasing the R brand knows nothing about watches (no offense, correct me if I’m wrong).
This thread is awesome because of genuine watch enthusiasts.
Keep it up!
Cheers guys!

Hey sifus, can any tell if this seller is legit?

Check out TheRgallery_official listings on #Carousell: https://carousell.app.link/ULMt2BwUFGb

It’s seem too cheap for an authentic watch and too expensive for a counterfeit.

Too cheap to be true especially the IWC. Perhaps a marked up triple A copy.
