The Watch Thread - Part 14

[gaoxing84]

Nice, I don't like filters.

watches are not girls, no filters needed. lol

 

[gaoxing84]

hey guys,

im new here, need advise on watches. i've set my sight on rolex datejust. cant decide on 41 or 36mm, my wrist definitely fit both sizes, i'm also keen in gmt but i understand its hard to get. any advise?

then go for the one that fits perfectly. sometimes 36mm in the modern times, might be alittle small.

GMT Black? its not hard, the premium is about 100-200 right now.
which is around 11.4-11.5

Nice. Good color combo.

that explains it.

in SG, usually they don't bother about stickers.

Its policy for some ADs. Even if youre an exisiting customer who bought a million dollars worth of watches from them. If its a “mystery shopper” from Rolex, they could lose their distributorship or see lesser allocations or experience other punative measures. They’d naturally rather lose a customer or a dozen than their business.

Others dont care even if its your first purchase. There’s over 60 Rolex shops in Hong Kong. It can vary even if the shops come under the same AD.

Thanks, sometimes I wish I got the blue version because the orange lume doesn't work too well, but it's really beautiful in the day. Give and take I guess.

Hmmm let me try.
The obvious one would be the lack of cyclop on the glass and the crown guard(?) not sure what is it call.

The rest look like no changes at all

Looks like four changes.

Dome glass.
Cyclops.
Crown Guards.
Dial (if it’s sea-dweller).

No cyclops
Crown guards gone? Or is it my eyes
Maxi dial?

Don't quite like the results though, especially with the crown guards. Can appreciate the changes to maxi dial and cyclops.

Maybe inspired by 6538 or 6200...
Cheaper to shave off CG then buy the BCs..
Soo..

I would have mine done like this.

Even the AP is stunning.

Anyone with a spare panerai screwdriver?
The one that comes with your watch.
I am looking for one.
If you wanna sell it let me know.
