Thanks!

Indeed, ION would have a wide range of choices from 1st floor upwards. Hopefully the service staff would not belittle my modest budget! (Compared to the rollers here, at least).

Yes. My parents isn't comfortable with online shopping. Call them conservative but I guess that's how they think.

Once again, thank you for your valuable advices!

Cheers

guys... just wanna have your thoughts about this conversation I had with my uncle last night.

My uncle is travelling to Switzerland and France this December and he asked me if I wanna get anything from there. I told him to help me look at watches. then he asked Rolex?

I said no. Tag heuer... then my uncle responded ohh... why TH?
I told him, its my favourite brand and always dream to get one. but of course, I would get a rolex but more for keepsake. TH is more of a practical dailybeater.

then my uncle suggested me to keep the money, save up a couple of thousands more and hoot a Rolex first. Get that rolex and then go for a TH.

my uncle's reasoning is that Rolex has a higher resale value compared to TH, be it vintage or a regular rolex.

his analogy actually got me thinking... because for Rolex I have always been thinking of getting either of these two models:

Submariner date or Datejust II

i would think get something u like first, then last a rolex. cos rolex is always available, as long as u got the money. those harder to get watches, shld get and keep first. unless u flip watches then get something thats good in resale.. my 2cts worth. thats part of a reason i gt the blackbay first, stocks quite limited in AD and i wont sell. im aiming the explorer 2 also, might get one within these 1-2yrs if nothing else interesting comes up.

the upcoming tudor black shield is really nice and is on display at mbs now, shld be coming this dec.. heard retail is $6800, might wanna take a look at that also :D

thats what i feel lah, get something u like first.

I think otherwise. If you have always been wanting to get a rolex then get it asap. Reason being price is always increasing. The sooner you get it the cheaper it is.
