To each his own. Lol.I already have a rubber strap watch. Also I don’t like the stiff Rolex oyster flex due to the reinforced titanium insert.
I prefer the vulcanised rubber on my AP ROO as it is much softer.

Deleted post. Mistaken a watch for a fake. Much apologies to the owner.

China tourists the most can buy 1 or 2 per person unlike LV bags which all resell when back home. You can’t go to any AD and say I want to buy 10 steel watches or more even with cash.

Heard that's why wata got their distributionship pulled. There was a syndicate buying then shipping them out to Japan. I was even asked to deliver a bag of Rolexes as I used to travel to Japan and other countries without being asked too many question being a Security auditor for an american company.They used to buy Rolexes in bulk though. |

I didn’t know that. No wonder there was a shitload of Rolex steel sports watches in the market in Japan.I took this picture on my latest trip to Tokyo end of last year before the lockdown. |

QUOTE(pgsiemkia @ Aug 10 2020, 11:09 AM) Nah, local buyers also need to wait, nothing to do with CCP tourists. The steel models fly off the shelf themselves. My point is that the ccp are the main buyers for all the non hot models of rolex, the diamonds and golds.. We all noe the steel one don even appear in shelf, sits inside the safe. Lol |

You need to buy the non saleable ones first before they decide to sell you the steel models.Like that I keep collecting GS limited editions first and Rolex can sell to themselves.. |
