Haha, RG appeals to me greatly and I don’t care if people says it is more meant for ladies. Lol
The point is not abt the genders but the tone of the skin. I have seen a darker skin wrist with Rootbeer and it looks horrendous..Most likely Rolex RG displays better on fairer skin..

Indeed. Even I find the GP Laureato Aston Martin Green Dial so mesmerising. It’s not just the dial, even if the bezel is green, I also like ie the new 2022 GMT Master and Starbucks. Haha
Blue is also nice, if got a chance, I also would consider the WG Daytona Blue Dial
True, recently chopard alpine eagle and IWC pilot have released a green dial too..

Sub/GMT currently would need to bundle, but who knows as the watch market is stagnant so ADs may be more willing to dish out sub ND to build profile soon...like the good old time..it's a waiting game..

i got offered quite fast, did u spend with the AD?

I can tell u that Its one of the smaller AD, I spent a few k and got the call quite fast.
So either must be from the AD in Chinatown or the one which has its base in HK.

yep thats what the AD hinted to as well.

I heard the good times even sub can get discount?

Singapore must have alot of high rollers, currently overseas it seems ppl can get sub/gmt with no history no bundle too

I very much prefer their yellow gold.

Rolex makes their own gold. Maybe that's why it is like that. Personally, I preferred their yellow gold. Can't explain why as it seems their everrose gold lack a certain glow as compared to others..

Probably, I recalled accompanying my friend to AD in the past and he bought the YM 116621 with a discount. That was supposed to be the last of discount for sport watches according to the SA and eventually it came to pass.

Rose gold is like that, it is supposed to be a lot more subtle than yellow gold. i think Rolex everose already more striking compared to others. I like it this way. The AP rose gold for me look too similar to their yellow gold, somehow more bronze looking than Rose gold. I only like the Rolex yellow gold of certain combinations, eg the John Mayer dial. Apart from that, I find it too yellow, eg the ones on the Day Date. Maybe it is nicer for some people this way.

I doubt overseas can get sub / gmt without bundle. If you subscribe to the various YouTube channels of overseas watch reviewers and go through the comments there by the subscribers, many are still lamenting how hard it is to get sub / gmt without bundle or purchase history. Of course there are the exceptions, most likely of the social media influencers and those with certain connections in the AD.
