The Watch Thread - Part 6

[Optrex]

MSRP $5.5K....

i can't find any AD that will give discounts on these.

Actually i got mine at a low 4k. That time the piece cant seem to sell as the black bay was more in demand. I was lucky to get a pretty decent discount and together with a credit card promo, i got it at a very good price.

My SA told me the piece has been sitting in the showroom for more than a month with no takers and i bought it just a week after i saw it. Just lucky i guess.

Ah yes, I did not take into account servicing costs.

Which is why, guys, I've decided to get something well within my means.

Else who cares if I own a Rolex and have a monthly salary of 20k???

Dont heart pain lah. I was told before i bought my piece, even if you have money, you also cannot find a pelagos to buy cos all snapped up. So itz lucky that u r able to buy without waiting.

But this watch is very low profile. So far no one even ask about it when they see my watch whereas the gmt master iic will attract looks every now and then.

Thinking about getting another brand of watch other than AP, anything similar to AP Royal Oak Diver's movement?

Movement or case?

If it's case, e nearest copycat would be hublot. LW using different movement with similar case is e other option

you too gan jiong already. you hoot within few hours of asking? nonetheless, this piece i predict is gonna be classic in the makings. combining modern tech with classic designs, nothing can go wrong. the only thing i hope the next iteration adds is more pronounced bezel teeth for more omph and masculine design feel.

aiya don't say liao lah
my FC worldtimer also same story
buy liao then 2 mths later they clearing stock. i could have saved 1k (4k drop to 3k).

Sevicing fee is by the hundreds..?

i suppose most ppl dont service their rolex till it spoils. cos it's quite the workhorse.

have heard somewhere servicing is about $800 up? but hten again, many workshops outside can service a rolex. if you get preowned without warranty then just service outside lor

Word goes that servicing is every 5-8 years I think?
Uncles Rolex is ~$900 for servicing alone.
