Hi guys any recommendations for grey retailer carrying brands like ball and longines?

Anyone can help?

 

[coern]

Anyone can help?

grey dealers make their $$ from profit margins. for lower cost pieces like ball/longines, the margins are too lower to get grey dealers interested.

you can try to ask for Yattokame Dai Gor's AD rep to see if you can get a good deal, or try sources on the internet that are based in europe which will sell you pieces without VAT (but with GST).

Love the "fight" between Magic and Bird... You are a Celtics fan?

My age?!?! I was a baby then.

i was a lakers fan and as a schoolboy magic johnson was my favourite player, superceded soon after of course michael jordon.

i don't think there was an epic a contest ever than the lakers vs celtics era - so many juggernauts and signature styles e.g. kareen abdul jabar's skyhook, and larry birds 3 pointers. this was an evenly matched fight across several seasons, and had the whole world on the edge of the seats.

then came michael jordon to win everything single handedly and NBA was never the same again.

Is that the re-release edition?

Or the bona fide classic?

its by tag heuer but only marked "heuer". how their marketing folks are so blind to the heuer heritage is amazing/borderine ignorance .

 

[a562140]

Freaking collectible classic.
Have been looking around for a long time for this piece with box and papers, but those meeting this criteria are priced like crazy

i've given up on box and paper for vintage or older watches. sharp edges and clean original dial and hands are all i look for. can live with fine scrates and small dings that can be worked out, but the original case shape (i.e. not rounded by polishing) is where the real value lies.

MJ was practically an all rounder. Give him space he score, no space also score. Even Larry say he is like god during the 63 points playoff game

My concern was that 44mm roo was already borderline massive on my wrist, the 44mm do not have the numerics on the dial and they sport rubber straps. Good thing it has a ceramic bezel which is less prone to scratches.

your wrist can take a 47mm pam, technically 44 mm ROO should be ok! Just the issue of thickness of the case, as it's around 18 mm as compared to 16 mm for pam?

Jordan alone will not win the championship. He still needs Pippen, Paxson, Cartwright.

I still have some of those MJ DVDs at home. Will share with my boys when they are older. Oppppsss getting off topic...

Attached a Rolex to break the Pam Combo.
