The Watch Thread - Part 8

[Henabi]

I dont have much spare monies. But is preowned rolex submariner a wise choice? Lets say i want to sell back when i need monies ok?

Save it up bro...

No point whack 10k on a watch whereby this money can be saved for rainy days.

Agree with iverson

An inexpensive and durable seiko 5 is equally good as well.

Hi bro im only looking at rollie. I already had a jap watch not interested in seiko.

My fren told me rollie is the only watch to consider as it keeps its value very well. So anytime can sell back without much loss so im not worried.

Just want to gauge roughly the cost and resale value of a submariner. Appreciate your advice.

Bo jio. At ion ah?

 

[gaoxing84]

Yeap. Cheapest way.
1 tablespoon baking soda powder + 1 tablespoon water.

Rub the paste on both sides of the watch strap (remove strap from watch first)

Let it sit for at least 1 hour.

Then use a damp cloth to remove the paste and let it dry completely and naturally.

Use leather conditioner to keep it from cracking.

My tissot original leather cracked. Lol.

Meaning all leather strap best is use leather conditioner on it to prevent cracking?
I better start doing for my pam strap. Later crack I heart pain.

Wow thanks guy. Looks like what my friend told me is true. Incredible hulk keeps value well. Think i die die oso hoot one. Dont think i will flip but in case i want to sell can get back monies not so wasted. I also heard that submariner goes well with all kind of outfit. Work or casual. Just unsure to get a new one or a preowned.

Hmm..keep value as in? Buying a watch is more than the value. You want to lose less then get a preowned but you will still lose. Unless you keep it for 5 years then maybe lose lesser.

If you wan value, keep the dough in the bank. Can earn interest. Safer.

and please buy the seller, later you think you got a good deal but actualu end up buying a fake watch...

Buy the seller ?

Thanks for advice, so preowned will lose less and keep 5 years lose lesser. By the way my fren told me, there are only 2 options if i want to buy watch. Either save up monies to buy rollie, or dont buy watch at all.

There's more than Rolex in the world of watches... To the layman, yes... get a Rolex!

How about this advice. Keep your money in your bank. Buy the Rolex only when you don't need the money on short notice.

Rolex is not going to go out of business. You can always get one later when your financial situation improves.

But if you still insist, then you can't go wrong with a pre-owned piece.

My watch bracelet had accumulated plenty of scratches over the years..i think so much that Melchers refused to machine polish it during a recent overhaul, so I decided to DIY instead.

Found a store that sell Cape Cod polish cloth. It works well on minor scratches but major one are still there though.. Will do another polishing season to see if can remove deeper scratches
