bluesy is nice but for some reasons, i still prefer the black 116713LN.

i read that it was discontinued some time in 2018.
saw carousel selling 18-22k depending on the year.
i guess newer, cost more?

sorry, kinda noob.
I have not been in touch for years.
did own a rolex boy back like 20 yrs back

I owned this previously, my advice is avoid the early batch of the watch (Green Lume) 2007 onwards and try to get the later (Blue Chroma Light Lume) one. (I think 2013 onwards).

The early batch of the 3186 Movement have a common issue on the broken Hour Wheel Click Spring. This was flagged up many times on the Rolex Forum. So just play safe and get the later batch.

Yeah I hesitated whether to post here or not since officially this is Rolex thread. But there is no PP thread. Haha.
Mai la, I not the type that plays with strap or bracelet. I always use the original. Very lazy to change here and there.

No, Patek allocation cannot be bundled with other brands. Other brands like Rolex you can buy other non popular brands to get allocation but not Patek. It is considered separately. Let’s just say that I’m quite lucky that my AD is willing to help me on this. Since launch in 2021, she only received two pieces of this at her boutique and I got this after 7 months wait.

Why is it until 5 Jan 2023? Do they mean they would be allow to operate again after the whole thing blows over? shouldn’t it be a indefinite suspension?

Thank you. True, confirm buay tong. Most of the watches are in precious metals. So even the entry level rose gold watch like Calatrava also 41k already. Siong. Their watch can buy maybe only once every 3-4 years if buying other brand in between

haha u must continue to buy more in order to get allocated the holy grail

My holy grail for PP is Aquanaut. Will stop PP after this. Won’t go for Nautilus. I will be bankrupted if I try to get a Nautilus allocated.

I can tell you it’s a slippery slope. Unlikely you will stop at aquanaut as you would be 1/3 there..

Stop at grand comp. That's how you play the game

Let me guess, you got it from Raffles Hotel right?

go for SD43 2T, it’s selling lesser than retail for used or only few hundred above retail .. no need pay premium plus it’s beautiful.

though 2T is not something I will go for

sorry, what is SD43 2T?
refer as

Rolex Sea-Dweller SD43 126600 2022 ?​
