Rolex sale very slow

coz AD got no stocks to sell issit...

if grey sales is slow then is an indication the price has peaked and starting to taper off...pple are not willing to part at this price level liao….could be the impetus the prices are softening in the grey market...

i saw a white polar in the year that i wanted...didn't pull the trigger though... saving my bullet...

I dont care about AD so am not referring to AD sales. 
i am referring to the overall preown and grey market.  
prices are resting, doesnt mean it will taper off. 
it might and chances are for solid gold watches to push up more after a breather.

we often fall into the trap of being overly ambitious and pushing for more and more.

enough is enough in life, balance a bit, smoke a cigar.   No high life.  Simple life dude

basically most chronos with 3 subdials lined this way will hv the mickey mouse look but the ones which i would call mickey mouse would be those that have the subdials overlapping each other forming the really mickey mouse silouette

Yes sure, i know what you mean too.

mickey mouse has been used on chronos for long long time, definitely more than 20yrs.  
however, to me, unless the subdials overlap, i personally dont see it as mickey mouse and personally wont call it a mickey mouse.    
 

Some people call the explorer 2 ref 1655 a steve mcqueen till today, when he had absolutely nothing to do with that watch.  
its been more than 20yrs too i believe but i would never call my 1655 the steve mcqueen.   It should be the Freccione. 
The true Steve Mcqueen is a 5512 Sub….

Anyway, Song doh horh

Daytona one definitely doesnt look like mickey mouse

PP one as you highlighted looks a bit more like mickey mouse. But the zenith one is mickey mouse.
