Guys recommend me what pre-owned watch I should get next. Budget < $3500.


Not a fan of Tudor, Omega, Ball, Bell & Ross or any Japanese brand. ( Pls don't flame me )

Any IWC around that price range?
Should be at least 42mm.

Is stowa good? ( Eyeing flieger)
But this Breitling Chronomat I've been eyeing look nice. ( But I already have a Breitling)

sighhhh

Get a stowa, good not good go WUS read

Maybe you can take a picture. And we can assess based on exterior alone

Go to RSC. Ask for servicing checking. They will return it. With receipt. If you don't want carry on with servicing with their quote.
At least done with rolex.
$50 vs $107 with rolex receipt.

The $50 top.hour is essentially open case and he say legit. Lol. Mouth say only.

Nice catch.

I would say it is nicely build and feels solid. Pricing wise, i think the 2nd hand market offers better value and its usually below $650.

If you're asking about the 116600, should be quite safe in terms of polishing issues.

bring to RSC to verify for peace of mind, like what gx84 suggested.

Hi bro thanks for your reply. Hmmm, I understand for slightly older pieces (e.g. 16610) you can detect poor polishing via the chamfer/bevel but how about modern pieces like Sub C?

 

[Thai_Rak_Thai]

can't wait for 2018 to come and as my 2017 was no new watches resolution.

i'm considering to get (only one of these):

Rollie 114060 - (used to have)
Tudor S&G
Tudor Pelagos LHD
TAG Monaco
Grand Seiko (likely a base model)
IWC (Mark 17)
Breitling (Blackbird Avenger)

Please start poisoning me if you have any of the above

I believe GX meant bring to RSC and ask them to inspect to provide a servicing quotation. After that do not proceed with the servicing and pay $107. Obviously RSC will only quote to service if it is genuine.

yes, if not they will return and say the watch does not belong to them.
they can't report you also because the watch may not come from you.

if its out of warranty, i will go to RSC, to get the cert.

if its a vintage piece, go top hour.

if within warranty, don't bother. haha
