Ooo ... thanks for the advise. Will check out those forums you mentioned first.

Further to my first rule above, do research also on how to avoid the counterfeit/fake. They're getting better, but still fake nevertheless. Check this out

Fake GMT II Ceramic

That's always a risk when buying online.
For peace of mind, pay a bit extra getting at AD or second hand watch shop here. At least you can check it on the spot.
Well is all up to you

No problem, You can buy from me @ www.ltwatchgallery.blogspot.com.

anyone know where can i get best deal rolex submariner?

When it comes to Rollies, I suggest you don't go for the best deals. Usually the saying, "if it is too good to be true then it is too good to be true" holds well, especially for Rolexes.

Get a Rolex from one of the many ADs in town. You don't want to be saddled with a rolex that RSC deem 'unable to service' as it contains non-original parts. An unservicable rolex will only sell for around 40% of the 2nd hand market price.

RSC is quite strict with their Rollies. Once a Rolex is serviced by non-authorised service centers, they will not accept it. What I like about Rolex Service Center (RSC) is that they will not only buff out the scratches (making your watch look brand new) but will also fit it with new movements when it becomes available at no extra cost to the customer. My 10 year old Rolex was recently fitted with a new movement. Found that out when I check the date window, as the dates now look a bit more rounded (ala the new Milgauss and Submariner).

How long did RSC take to do that?
My new rolex was sent back a month ago and I was just found out i can only get it back in two months time, that means they're taking 3 months to get the problems fixed. The watch's only 4 months old.

I sent it through the AD where I bought the watch. It's a sports model. The moment I walked in to hand in the watch, the salesgirl immediately told me the warranty doesn't cover 'waterproof', mind you, mine's a water sports model which has yet to see 'water-use'.

My only consolation now is RSC is repairing this watch without additional expense to me, i was told. That is why my AD said they never bothered to call me to update me. A 2nd salesgirl accused me of not screwing back the crown hence the discolored dial.

If you know a better AD with better informed salesperson, I'm interested.

waterproof, no watch company will put that on the warranty. water resistance, yes.
its unfortunate u encounter such poor service.

...so I dug out the warranty booklet..and yes, rolex's oystercase is guaranteed to be 'waterproof' to a depth of 100m, for this model...

...and it's supposed to remain 'waterproof' to a certain depth with the crown unscrewed.

btw, i just found out, mine's not water problem, it's defective, in s'pore now waiting from some parts form switzerland

Greeting to all sifu .

I m a newbie in acquiring Swiss watches, NOT a serious watch collector..........hopefully, won't upset anyone !

In my possession, inc Patek Philippe 5056P, 5059YG, 5130R & 4958YG (wife); Rolex Oyster Peptual Datejust YG/SS male & female pair & Daytona SS. Daily beater uses CardioSport Heart Rate Monitor, Alain Delon DateQuartz, Citizen Quartz or Petaling Street's cheapies. Future target: PP 5711/1A, 5980/1A, 5970P ..............................or 5951P .......................... If I can be so lucky. I was offered the 5167/1A, but, will give it a miss, 'cos not appetising enough ! Again, I m only acquiring its for interest, NOT a keen collector like William Massenna et al.

Wrist shot of the PP5130R


Qn: Anyone know whether there are any outlet selling legitimate, pre-owned Swiss watches, which come with original certificate in KL? NOT those "hot", stolen stuff in the "gold"/pawn shop!

BTW, never come across Patek Philippe Aquanaut presented as 5076. Need some educating from some highly respected sifu . Moreover, IMHO, both JLC & A Lange are great watches in their own league, & beyond a shadow of doubt, can compete head on with the BIG 4 Swiss watches .

Regards.

With those PPs and Rolexes, you called yourself a newbie in Swiss watches and not a serious collector? You got to be kidding me
Do share some pictures of your collection.
There are few shops in Timsquare, Sg Wang, Summit USJ, Bangsar Village seling legitimate pre-owned watches, do check it out.

I m confused . Anyone think ck77 post has any sarcasm in it. IMHO, he was just being factual in his statement based on quoted evident!

hello guys my mom has an expensive Cartier watch she want to let go, any good place or shop around KL can get best price?

thanks

They are few pre-owned shops around KL/PJ area, i.e. Ampang Point, Timesquare, Sg Wang, Central Market, Summit USJ,, Bangsar Village.
Price would be low if you want to sell to them.
Alternatively, you can opt for consignment basis. Stated the price you desired, put the watch there, when is sold, collect the money from them.

3rd time trying to post today, unsuccess 'cos of the poor streamyx earlier!

These outlets' timepieces mostly without cert; those allegedly with cert was of "archive extract" .................... unable to confirm the legitamacy of the piece. Moreover, they can't quarantee the completeness & originality of the movement within !

Is there any forum like Timezone or PuristSPro, which cater for WTS subforum locally? This can provide an avenue for "not serious watch collector" like me to share info, admire diff made of timepieces & to trade or exchange legitimately.

Its always on caveat emptor basis (let the buyer beware). However, most of the shops are reputable, i.e. Passions in Bangsar Village. It will be more concern if you buy from individual seller through internet.
