guys, need help here.. buying my first rolex.. apart from a datejust inherit from my dad. So dont have any dealings with Local ADs. Shortlisted 2 models,

https://www.rolex.com/watches/gmt-master-ii/m126711chnr-0002.html
https://www.rolex.com/watches/yacht-master/m126621-0001.html

i would love to have a everose model and my understanding is that GMT is highly sought after? Root beer is worst or actually an acquired taste?

Is it true that GMT no discount but yacht master got chance for discount since it is not in demand?

Also heading italy/UK/Paris this coming Nov. Should i hoot there instead? Assuming I get VAT discount but tio GST? Still worth it?

Hi, you can forget UK and other big cities. Last time you can find YM in Heathrow but now it is not even Air King. Good luck for your hunting.

Starting to see pre ceramic sub catching up with sea dweller

Would you guys get sd for that matter?

40mm version sounds good for future collectibility (20-30years later)

thanks boss, in SG GMT root beer also assumed waiting list?

GMT root beer only sold to VIP customers. That Yacht Master you looking for can try waiting list at multiple ADs. See which one calls you first.

But since you are travelling, do go watch hunting. It can be fun! Don't get depressed if all ADs don't sell anything to you though. Take it positively, who knows you come back with a two tone Submariner or Yacht Master. Good luck!

No worries bro. I also just started not long ago. GMT too hot to get. Two tone Models will have chance if you put on waiting list. Two tone Submariner black(Retail at $18,070) is really a nice watch to consider.

Don’t think so. I seen before 1 guy, he scared to even wash hand with his Rolex on. I was like WDF? :s22:

hahahaa...this is stupid...the watch can go underwater 300mtrs...how can it scare water? i usually after whole day of wearing...i give it a rinse under tap water...coz ur body sweat is all over it. than isn't salt from sweat worse to any material? hahaa
