Last monday when I went into bencoolen, I saw this luxury watch shop called "Champion Time" but they were closed on monday, so I didn't had a chance to see their pre own rolex collections.

Anyone of you have deal or friends who have deal with them? how was the experience?

May I know the meaning of doubled sealed? Just in case I really go for a PP.

Many thanks

The time pieces leave the manufacture in Geneva and reach the authorized retailer in a sealed plastic cellophane bag. This ensures the retailer that no human hand touched the watch after it was shipped and is a guarantee the metal is scratch less and flawless.

You understand then that a sealed watch has FOR SURE never been worn and is flawless.

There are two degrees of seal : single sealed and double sealed.

The “double seal” pertains to the outer cardboard box the plastic sealed watch is contained in to be shipped to the retailer.

The “single” seal is the cellophane container that nests the watch.

Normally the seals are opened by the retailers/AD who then display the watches in their cases to be shown and tried on. This can mean they may get scratched,tiny hairlines or God knows what other flaw. Those Pateks are incredibly delicate and the polishing quality is superb so it is very hard to keep them impeccable.

I would go for the Pelagos. It is versatile with both SS bracelet and rubber strap, and it's titanium with beautiful blue lume and clean dial.

the tudor is excellent!

"Champion Time (level 1 The Bencoolen): Friendly folks (look for Eliz) always ready to bring the excellent condition pre-owned watches out to show you and serve all customers with a smile. Eliz is extremely knowledgeable in Horology and can give you a tip or two on watch buying and selling."

1680 red sub. I remember this was mentioned on the other thread but advised to take the discussion here. Anyone seriously on the prowl for it? Share your sources or experience (can be for other vintage rolex too)?

I am.

So far the local ones I've seen are sub par in condition but asking for high prices. Mostly riding the red sub hype to try and chop carrot.

For the around same amount of money some of the local pieces are asking for, I can probably get a better condition one from the usual vintage dealers like hqmilton, shear time or 10pastten.

Will RSC verify? How would u know if hands, dial, bezel insert n crystal are original? Bracelet as well for that matter. I doubt u seen any have papers so far?

Original meaning from day 1 and not service parts
