[delrosa81]

Wow thanks and I saw your post! A pity its in hong kong. I don mind overseas. I don tink the local boutiques offer any discount at all as Im a first time walk in customer.

If u are getting the rose gold.. Rem to push for at 12% off at the min. Was offered right away in the store at hk. Should be ok to push even lower. No discount for ss

Good place to shop is Tokyo at Nakano Broadway. Bring cash so no 3% credit card surcharge and can get 8% tax free. Selection there is very good

 

[estrangable]

The only place that is readily available is in middle east.. Well according to a few of the PP SA in Europe that I have met..

Thanks Henabi. But too bad its in hong kong.

Anyways I just dropped by the boutique. The 5712 for all material variants no stock. The sales guy did push for me to get the 5726. The annual calender but not a fan of that. Prefer the 5712 stainless steel or red gold.

I actually wrote to Patek, to ask them how many do they produce a year. They couldn't share the numbers by each watch but mentioned like 50,000 watches a year.

Good luck in your hunt

All hail King Rafa ....

and his $775000 watch

There are many technical feats associated with the "Nadal" RM, not least for the fact that this is a watch that the player wears on his wrist DURING a world class tennis match and not off the court.

The only other more satki RM would be the one smashed up by the Indon General in front of the media

44mm ROO is ugh. very crude watch. AP ROO 42mm ok.

LOL pls dont buy that. go with that PP.

-1 he already said he likes the ROO and even had one b4. He should buy what he likes, what suits him (we dont know his character, how he looks) and what makes him happy. For me what I like is always 1st.

let me burst that bubble for you.

AP and PP = preowned hardest to move.
Why? People who decides to spend a great deal of money on a watch, they will either keep it or have the experience of buying from the boutique. (for benefits like event exclusive invites, relationship etc etc).
The amount of people that are into AP and PP gets smaller and smaller. The pool of your potential buyers gets really small.
Those people who tells you its easy to sell, u ask them what crack they smoking. Maybe can sell, tank huge losses. Initial brand new watch prices that gets higher, the losses is higher. for example, Lange 1, sold for 80k brand new, wear alr sell how much? 50k? 40k? even sell at 60k u also need tank 20. Aqaunuat 5167, buy 25k, if heng, really heng, can sell maybe 23k if condition good. The lowest i seen ever is 18k = smelly also 3-4k losses (this is easier to sell because entry level patek, very different from 5712. 5712, waiting list so long means everyone no hurry, wants to buy brand new.)
unless you're got the funds to tank then by all means.
another method is source for preowned, wear alr, sian sell. minimise losses (sure take some time to sell).
wear alr, damn shiok, wanna buy new one to keep, sell the preowned, then find new one.

resale fast = ROLEX, AP RO, Diver, AP ROO 42mm (alot in the market floating around and all below 19k easy)

AP ROO 44mm (rare bird, hard to move)
PP 5712 - why u wanna sell? pls don't.....

That's my strategy for buying watches with limited funds, you can no need follow me.

if you don't care about people, then i will say go PP, it makes WIS drool and u wear alr knowing its a patek, a class above all = ultimate satki.

+1 mostly agree. Ppl who can afford dont really see the need to save a few $k to pre owned. One reason Rolex pre-owned/resale is high is because many want it even though they cant afford it so every amount less they spent they want it. And the good resale further compounds it and effect snowballs.

unless got some other reasons then bobian
