QUOTE(friedricetheman @ Nov 9 2021, 09:34 PM) Nobody gets a Seiko as a wedding watch bro. Might as well get a proper wedding ring if willing to spend only a few hundred ringgit on a watch. 50m is good for swimming if you take the effort to get the water resistance checked yearly at Swatch Group. For the Datejust, you can easily go years without checking the WR due to better seals and how it is constructed (oyster case and twinlock crown). It’s a common misconception on watch forums that 50m is good enough for swimming. Yes, it can take a plunge but only when it’s new. Once the seals age, it will leak. 50m watches have only a single seal on the crown unlike Submariners with their triple seals (triplock) or Datejusts with double seals (twinlock system). [attachmentid=11033322] Source : https://thewatchmaker.com/water-resistance-101/And nobody gets a Rolex period. So no point telling him that lo. It's like telling you to get Dufour Simplicity at retail. Just walk in to the shop and tell the fella one watch please, here's my Black card. And plenty of people gets a Seiko as a wedding watch, not everyone can afford to spend 30k on a watch. |

He said his budget is 30-40k for a wedding watch. So, I believe a Datejust is around that price, even at the grey market. |

Yea, only the non fluted one though. Fluted is above already if I am not wrong. But given its a special occasion, I would have preferred a boutique / AD experience to go with it. And if can, a couple's piece even better. |

Restricting supply to make the brand more desirable is the only way forward for antiquated tech like mechanical watches. I foresee more and more established brands pulling a Rolex in the near future. |

Some countries 4500v need to wait 4-5 years already, that’s insane.

aiya... get a JLC Reverso monoface then engrave it with your wedding date or whatsoever to celebrate your wedding lo... but once engraved, conlan7firm you can't sell it.. no body gonna pick up an engraved watch.. but since you buy it to celebrate your wedding, you won't be expecting to sell right... Rolex, even the entry level OP needs to wait for who knows how long.. unless you want to go greymarket.. but we ppl dont recommend that.. dont buy anything with inflated price with greymarket..

My suggestion would be JLC and particularly the Master Control 1000hrs. A brilliant watch that has elements of dressy-ness and casual touches. Believe it is also partially handmade with a highly regarded in-house movement.
