师兄。我这隻梅花再过三年就要二十年了。。。今年十数年后还是没有褪色。

Solid gold or plated?!

not release yet. supposedly end of summer. very long waiting list now.

Think white dial will be more popular for this version. Wonder if the old model white dial will then appreciate in value.

Just like how the old model pepsi dial gmt master 2 appreciated quite abit after rolex launched the pepsi white gold gmt master

Highly unlikely. Different circumstance. White gold gmt out of most budget, whereas new daytona didn't increase much. Thus old white daytona is a little inferior compared to new.

After doing some research, decided that the definitive GS is the SBGA011 Snowflake .... Below 7k good lobang right?

I think it's a good price, though some mentioned they can get below 6k.
I doubt it as this is a perennial favorite.

Apparently it's not so easy. I recall reading somewhere that there are 2 extra pins that connect to the case.

they only need 8 ppl to pay for 50M yen or ~sgd$620K+
these 8 ppl wouldn't care what ppl thinks.

Don't really like plated watches as the plating will not last.

a big misconception that plating will not last. back when its 1st invented yes.. but today.. they last a long time.

 

[patryn33]

Cannot like that say, you bought during 50% sale of course not expensive.

low market demand one can always find them on grey at great discount.
if one choose to buy at retail then too bad.. but dont think one need to sell a kidney for it

Maybe when chipped the plate by accident off be troublesome? Or already won't chip? Can't be right?
