Thread all abt ROLEX - Part 2

[gaoxing84]

Wow their watches also so hot now ?

Yeap. Most of the higher end pieces, they don't take deposit. Not enough of manpower to make. (LOL at rolex able to push 30% out hearsay)
Lange 1 now I heard cannot be bought outright as first piece.

 

[gaoxing84]

Diff ba.. ad got more overhead cost.. from the SAs to the rest of the pple up the chain..all gotta pay salary.

pple also forget greys were great when we could get almost all watches below rrp..

Those who never get always sit on the fence, same like stock market, wait till it gets lower and before u know it boat has set sail.

Yeap. Gotta set those people straight. Asking Grey dealers to crash and burn. Lol. Grey market exist for a reason. Not only to watches.

Ya. AD alot of stuff to pay but it's very profitable. Their profit is fixed every year. Guaranteed. At least for last 4-5 years since watches has been selling out.

 

[gaoxing84]

Beside this, AD also has to face a lot of restrictions imposed by Rolex and take their instructions on what they can do and cannot do and whatever amount of watches they can sell is dictated by Rolex and they can’t say they want to sell as many watches as they can. Its not entirely that easy for them too, beneath the glamour as an AD

Lol. Their furniture, set up. All goes thru rolex contractor.
Rolex sibei huat. Earn gao gao

ADs are like sharks and GDs are like parasites nibbling over the left over meats..
What to do, they need to rely on ADs too..

Fully agree too, shouldn’t blame grey dealers and they exist for a reason. With grey dealer, they satisfy the needs of customers who want the watches they desire fast and also take in watches from sellers who gets tired of the watches they owned or the need to sell to fund other purchases. Without grey, watch collectors also can be quite cham. AD and grey both need to co-exist together. Haha

5000pc/year across their entire line and the brand recently gaining traction. Mad.

I was told blue dial is a looooooong wait. I registered interest for the dual time blue dial, boutique AM told me approx 3 years. Also for Fiftysix blue dial is about 1 year. Idm the wait.

Max 5000
How many master craftsmen can handle grand comp movement?
They fit movement, test, take out,and fit again.
That's why higher end pieces are Damn hard to come by.
Their prices also kinda insane.
Met a watchmaker that works for cortina. He say chronographs are hardest to handle.

I say they can fight Patek anytime.
Their finishing top notch and the movement very lively. Compare to Patek chronograph, abit boring and monotone

All VC is interested is to sell you their PC..
No point to put interest for their overseas..

Maybe the chance for fiftysix would be faster as it is not so popular…if not can pick up from Carousell lower than retail very soon..some more got 8 years warranty..

Not to forget pricing too

The superiority of patek against ALS goes beyond Marketing.I’m not so expert to say ALS has better finishing than patek or Vice versa.. but I’m a patek fan and watch collector.. I would say patek gives more recognition to their original owners as collectors
