i am looking at rolex and narrow them to the following 3 which suits my budget..they are...

 

explorer 2 white face (9300)

submariner date s/s (10,300)

GMT Black bezel s/s (9900)

 

The figures in brackets are the prices quoted to me..

 

Are the prices competitive? Or anywhere else I can turn to for better price

 

 

Not too sure about submariner, i was quoted 8.7 for explorer 2 and 9.2 for GMT. Bargain to 9K for GMT. [thumbsup]

Just curious, how much did you sell for your seiko. Seiko seldom have resale value right?

There are many different variations of 6309, 6105 and 6139 and 6138

 

My 6309s are the older big diver ones which i general sold between $300 to $350

The 6105s i sold about $650 to $700

And the 6139s, i sold for about $350 to $450

 

Certain Vintage Seikos hv fairly good resale worldwide.

I believe it is due to the unique cushion case design and the very hardy yet quite precise movements

I also like Seiko because of their precise movement. But the dealer here anyhow throw price for seiko watch one. So I have this mentality that this is a wear and keep watch.

 

Didn't know there is resale value sia, Got any good servicing shop for seiko? Wanna bring my seiko 5 for servicing....

I think Grand Seiko is a worthbuy lah.

 

If u always wear office wear, that should be a good dress watch. (: I might choose grand seiko over rolex milgauss. But 2 diff tier lah. haha...

I am aiming a Tudor Pelagos 1st leh. I like diver watch more. Hahaha. My job need a rugged watch more than a nice dress watch so Grand Seiko can wait lah. hahaha.

 

And one of my fren tell me if i am into swiss ETA watches, i will not have any interest on Japanese movement anymore le.

Same here..more into divers actually. But isn't it Pelagos is Ti material? More easily scratched or can dent the case? But I like the brushed finish of that watch.

 

ETA vs. Jap (Miyota, etc.) talk again...read too much of that too..but cannot say cause I got not ETA...maybe can try micro with ETA and see...Steinhart? [lipsrsealed]
