if not a rollie, i dont think anyone will feel excited and post about going to AD for collection.

these days people feels like they hit a jackpot to be allocated.

so true 5 digits is not a small amount. Miss the good old times when Sub was so much cheaper. AD need to thank us for business, not the opposite.

Well, with that kind of price tag, there are other truly haute horlogerie brand that you can support, VC, JLC to name a few. Reasons why people insisted on Rolex are simply due to insecurities - “scared buy liao others can’t appreciate” or for flipping. There is nothing about Rolex that justifies the price. Lack of investment in complications or other fine and intricate watch making process that is labour intensive, so they can automate their assembly line and mass produce as much as possible. You need to be able to call bull when Rolex says their steel watches are limited in production. No, they are not Patek or AP.

Well majority will disagree with you
No issue whatever floats your boat
Same as the android camp dissing the Apple fans
Your have your perspectives and they have theirs
No point talk others down to raise yourself
That said I Only got dislike for flippers for whatever Brands who’s only in it for the profits

Anyone has any recommendations on which AD to go to for Tissot for the best deal? Am planning to get my friend one as gift. PM me if you prefer to not say the AD name in public. Thank you :)

Anyone eyeing the Zum R1 on Kickstarter?

Quite cool concept, with an add on module to the NH38 movement that allows the hour/minute hands to be split up - not really Regulator style, but rare to see any microbrand do anything with the movement. The usual thing they do is to use a Miyota with 24h subdial and omit the hour hand.
