Think I'm priced out by the new Daytona. I'm looking at the older steel Daytona or a 16710 gmt coke. Not planning to get it anytime soon yet. Currently have a 116610ln sub. Which model u guys think will suit me better or worth getting ?

imho, there's only ONE AP RO to collect, and that's the jumbo ultra thin 39mm in blue dial that still use the original cal 2121. features a nicer rotor, too.

but if blue's not your thing and you prefer black or white, then settle for the non-original.

I wasn't expecting to be mesmerized by the blue dial at all, but it grows on you the more you look at it, and it helps that they offer an option to change the bracelet to a rubber strap (which comes in blue and is very comfortable), albeit at a pricey cost.

I felt that the 39mm was a little small when compared to the 41mm, but I was told you can request for a personalised design on the rotor, like your initials.

Still, have yet to see and feel a 5167A, and the longer waiting time of the 5167A could also be a factor to consider, compared to the 3-6 months for the AP RO.

I suggest like that ok:

1. We go and buy the AP RO together.

2. Then when the 5167a comes, we go together again.

3. We have the same watches! (Except the FM)

Cannot justify having both the AP RO and Aquanaut. On one hand, the blue dial of the RO is a beauty, on the other hand, the Aquanaut looks so effortlessly suited for the rubber strap as I feel that it would be a blasphemy to change the AP RO to a rubber strap.

Gérald Genta's designs are timeless and masterpieces. I know the Aquanaut is no Nautilus, but such things are up to an individual's preference and feelings.

Also, it is more likely to be a grail purchase, which means my wallet will be protected for a long time. I shall have my legacy timepiece to accompany me until the day comes.

Pricing for blnr this year is 12,010. Depending on ADs, some ADs will try to squeeze you by selling it for 14. You can try your luck via Carousell. Someone is selling it for about 12,748 I think. He claimed that it is from Cortina. I couldn't get a grey piece as well

can share whats the official price for submariner date then?

 

[gaoxing84]

can share whats the official price for submariner date then?

Official price? As in RRP or discounted?
Why not head down to rolex AD and ask?
I am guessing 11,200

All I read is

"I can only buy Aquanaut or RO and not both NOW. Maybe in 6 months' time I will own both"
