Can ask Yatto-San, I think he considered a full gold Rolex when getting his 5712

have to ask the more affluent dai kors here, but popular sports models like the sub/sub-date/new Daytona with ceramic bezel very little to no discount. full gold rolex day-date maybe can swing a max of 25%??

Full gold so cheap? I thought the price range would be at least 40k n above ? not really a role fan but checking it out now.

not cheap - more like msrp is inflated.

msrp for rolex day-date (NO diamonds or fancy dial) comes close to $50k (omfg, that's more than most working folk's annual salary, including bonus & b4 cpf!).

25% discount is for their best customers. given the current poor economic & retail climate, 25% is actually a realistic discount.

Nice!
As consider as part of branded watch.
And of Coz can last long, use battery operated not good as automatic?

 

[endlssorrow]

On average how much is it?

quartz watches: battery die = watch stop working.

automatic watches: stop wearing on wrist = watch will stop running after it's stored energy in it mainspring is depleted.

quartz watches are more accurate and keep better time than automatic/mechanical watches.

but people love automatic watches for their engineering, never needing a battery change & a sweeping seconds hand compared to a ticking quartz seconds hand. (some hybrid/quartz watches like grand Seiko spring drive & bulova accutron precisionist have a very smooth sweeping seconds hand)

Let me share an interesting story: What if I tell you high end watches are also 'hot items' for money laundering/bribery/smuggling money across boarders?

These watches do not cater to common working folks. They cater to another category of people that the real police should be after.

Yes, I believe it's not a good idea to troll so much here as I believe there are grey dealers here advertising their watches here to attract customers. And the saying goes 'When money is involve, shXt will hit the fan'

Lastly, anyone can claim anything without proof online. AFAIK 904 steel is about 3X more expensive than 314 steel so it doesn't make financial sense to make reps out of them. But with advanced technology in China and their steelmills churning out steel with so much inventory like no tomorrow I maybe wrong...

This is the most interesting thread to me other than the leather thread in HWZ so I hope this thread stays as long as possible

Have a great day ahead everyone!

行货，机械款，$1.5k起跳。、
石英电子款，不清楚。可以到Mustafa看看。看到价格后，记录下来，再去别间铺子商价。

 

[endlssorrow]

Ya I agree with u that for auto, the seconds hand movement is super nice than battery type.

I own a seiko auto but it stop often despite wearing it often so tot of upgrade n try other model

I thought everyone keep quiet means they are good friends and it's normal.

Yes thats right. Below 40 for sure. I've always liked the daydate. Had one for a short stint. somehow just feel the full gold "president" is THE signature model of rolex. Or i'm stuck in the 80s.
