Think it was newly launched then that's why it was at a premium Actually it was cheaper when it first came out.... Now that the market seem to have accepted it, the price is stiffer, moreover Rolex prices adjusted higher too. I guess he walked into AD shop and got carroted..... I was like him last time. Not anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was keen on the black bay but too bad daywalker's piece got sold fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic August 18, 2013 Author Share August 18, 2013 So wat makes rolex so much more collectable than say jlc, ap, or patek? 3 things amongst loads of others 1. History and heritage 2. Value (for money) (due to demand) 3. Durability (including ease of maintenance) Also importantly ,it doesnt look like a stupid toy (read: Various AP ROOs and various HUblot BBs) [laugh] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was keen on the black bay but too bad daywalker's piece got sold fast. I wont be able to give a fair assessment. Becos I wouldnt even pay anything more for the HULK. Just change bezel color and dial color and voila charge you so much more? Cannot lah. Tudor also not bad. But really get older classic ones, new ones are overpriced If you can get a nice Monte Carlo, that would be great. Daywalker's "monte carlo reissue" should be for sale in no time. Sorry i dont know the model name becos i dont follow tudor but he posted it recently as he bot it recently. Its got bracelet and nato strap and chrono and looks like the old monte carlo. Beautiful Tudor that still retained the old handsome looks. Sorry if my opinions are biased, mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offshores can get messy but some of them look great. Erm equal or better in quality than rolex? Sure why not? Also depends on what you mean by quality. But generally AP and PP are showpieces, not real sports watches like Rolexes. Plse note before buying. So depends on what you are looking for. Note also the maintenance servicing cost.

It's like Pam.. a destro can cost a few k more when it's just inverted and everything else is the same. Still can't decide on what I really want.. sometimes I aim for the hulk, sometimes explorer ii white face, sometimes Tudor black bay, sometimes gmt master ii, sometimes jlc, then thought of just buy another entry level radiomir. hehe can't make up my mind. Chrono's not for me cos I dun wanna pay extra for a complication I won't use. For me, either a date or gmt hand is good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sports watch, a tough watch, an everyday watch. Go for the Explorer2, it can be had for about $4k, it has GMT hand, it is waterproof and it is a really solid allrounder. It also has an illustrous history on its own. I have one (two) myself. Cannot go wrong, bro. Super good watch , with value and value for money.

M and V are relatively new. You pay a premium for no reason. Best value for money and still a solid watch all round is probably, S, W, T series Edited August 18, 2013 by Throttle2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
