Hi guys, I am new to mid and high end watches. Could someone advise if hong kong is a good place to buy watches? Like mobi and phoenix? Thank you.

Earn alr also go back hobby. Haha. Been doing this kind of stuff since my sneakers collecting days

will collecting red subs now earn a tidy profit at the next economic upswing? the pool's already limited as it is. double red sub prices are of course ttm, so only the hard core collectors with deep pockets can afford to play - but prices can only go up for super-collectible items like the ferrari 250 gto.

question to vintage rolex collectors:

- is there a risk of the watch patina/aged lume degrading/disintegrating during your possession?
- how do you mitigate this risk and protect your investment?

vintage replacement parts like dials, bezels are already hard to hunt down as it is, so...

thank you for sharing your insight, experience & expertise!


(pm me if you prefer. thank you!)

TBH i'm getting quite irritated with carousell lol... buggy... tonnes of irritating buyers who ask crap loads and in the end no interest or disappear... lowballers... or give all sorts of excuses...

last one made me reserve my seiko sumo since start of week, to deal sunday/monday once pay come in... everyday ask me questions or ask me give discount... yesterday suddenly tell me need the funds cause aunt passed away... don't know real or not... (to be fair to that guy, he asked me to give my bank a/c no. so that he can transfer $50 for reserving for him these few days)... but just give benefit of doubt and let it go...

but day in day out deal with these kind of situations... zzz... to bad carousell still one of the best place to buy/sell preowned watches...

Could not agree more !

Ever got 1 fella ask what you mention above than no reply. I was nice enough to ask "Still interested ?"

He than replied yes bro saving up. WTF ? than don't offer and waste my time la

Hi guys, finally buying a sumo with undated warranty. I believe is from Japan. Is it normal? All ok? Pardon me first time buying thanks

hope you got the more desirable 1st gen "SCUBA" instead of the prospex logo.

How many slots you looking at? Any budget in mind? I would recommend Tresor if you dont mind paying a bit of premium... Local brand, looks good, quiet, can get it serviced properly if anything wrong happens...

 

[SpOrTsTeR79]

Cost slightly more

Don't ban me please.

this professional piece of sh!t begger is here to beg and try to sponge off impressionable sad sacks/fan boys (does this gasbag even have any to begin with? - unless they like cheap & crass like that POS)
