I’m subscribed to a few telegram channels of grey dealers.

every day got new watches posted.

every day got many SOLD! listings.

its really baffling why ADs have no Rolexes but all the grey dealers have so many.

AD’s have now ….. trickling in …. Trying to fulfill the backlog for now ….. can see now AD’s got people carrying bags out …….so must be fulfilled orders ….. 6 months back can see people come in for a few minutes moving from one counter to another counter just seeing the so called “ for display only”

That’s good to know. Hopefully those are not the less in demand watches that are being sold.

All depends on your “ profile x connection “ with them and how much other “ lesser known “ brands you buy from them

Walauueee....interviewer see yr watch call you lauban.....:yeah-im-not-drunk:

No lah, at a higher level these things are absolutely not affected by the watch you wear.

Its just personal preference and interest.

moreover, this watch is not really expensive 20 grand plus plus only

What watches are you guys planning to hoot in 2024? 
 

For me, I’m looking at a YG TT jubilee Rollie. Either the GMT Master II “Guinness” or the DJ36.

The Black Bay 41 on jubilee looks very good also but it still looks abit big on my wrist.

No chance to try the DJ36 yet but it’ll fit fine as I’ve had a 36mm TOG on jubilee before.

The Guinness looks good on your wrist. 2024 I target to get the Daytona Panda and Skydweller Blue Dial / GMT Batman. 😁 Should be just 2 watches in 2024

The Tudor Black Bay Burgundy is a nice watch but my issue with it is the thickness.  The 41mm is not too bad, but the thickness of around 13.6mm made it look big and clunky. My explorer 42 looks "smaller" than this burgundy on the wrist. The older burgundy model is even thicker at 14.5mm I think. 

No idea why they made it so thick when the new Black Bay 54 is already under 12mm.

Same goes with their chrono models.  They are all like 14mm-15mm thick.  If they can go under 13mm,  that would be something that I will be keen.
