Thread all abt ROLEX - Part 2

[All in a Day]

Do you like Hublots or Franck Mullers?

If you're happy to buy them, AD will be happy to sell you the Sub and GMT you want at retail, and quite quickly too.

Means these 2 are amongst the most robert and no value brands?

Cortina - FM
THG - Hublot

Think they’re the exclusive distributor for the respective brands. Support those brands - they grant u your Rolex.

Expect to lose 30% to 50% if u sell them…

Buy 2 Hublots and u get your Sub the next month

I see. Understand. Since I don’t fancy hublots, I guess then no point buying because I end up paying more haha

If its from the shop, I believe they will not ruin their name to take in a fake watch to sell.

Part of cost is buying the seller and his reputation.

Makes sense hor. That’s why shop based a bit more ex.
but I never buy before from shop, what if some parts of the watch such as bezel or dial is not authentic from Rolex

all shops have a license by police so I don't think they will risk their license to sell fake. timestory is ok, I always go into timestory for a look though have not bought from them yet

Haha, buy from timestory then bring to Bright time and ask them if they buy in? Bright time will then perform the check and quote u the price.

I was never a fan of the sub until I first saw a no-date sub (which happened to be a 5513). Went to delve a little deeper and I settled between 5513 and 14060 for the following reason:

1. I like the patina that develops on the hour markers and the hands of a vintage sub.
2. I still can't decide whether I prefer a glossy or matte dial. I think this will eventually be the main determinant of which model I end up going for (assuming I can find both models in decent condition).
3. Going anything earlier than 5513 is beyond my budget.
4. Going for anything later than 14060 means tritium was no longer used and hence, no patina.

Thanks for these! Will check them out.

Following up on my post here, went with the 5513 in the end:
