Thread all abt ROLEX - Part 2

[official_t_atelier]

Hihi,
Do you want to enquire these models in Sg first? At least, you will know the price locally and compare it when you are overseas. If the overseas price is indeed cheaper, whack it there!

but if you buy it locally, does the AD from Cortina bundle it together with your desired Rolex? Or can you do that in overseas too?

In my point of view, i hope that you can get a nice and powerful bundle with ease. FM can get you a decent Rolex model (I think). Just ask the AD before committing. If possible, pay FM together when you got allocated with your sports model.

Note that FM can only get from Cortina. FM Ion Orchard is under Sincere. Can it be bundle together with Rolex is still a question mark…

good luck and enjoy your holiday bro!!! Merry Christmas!

FM with diamonds and gold from AD at retail price is not worth to
bundle with Rolex. Usually is bundle with Patek as FM price dropped 40-50% once out of the shop. I think is only worth to buy grey if only want FM just like Tudor/Hublot

Thanks for sharing!
By the way, who did you get the Patek & Rolexes from? THG or Cortina?

These stuff can't move.. I seen it there for very long liao that's why I can remember.. maybe they got it during a close out? I have always wonder who in the world would have the acquired taste to buy a FM with dragons on it

Well, we have one tarded specimen right here in this forum.

As much as I had always said that taste in watches is very subjective and individual, I really cannot help but to agree with majority here that this watch is really hideous in its looks

Let's look at your comments from another angle. If many are saying that Ah Seng should buy a HDB as his first property but he chooses to buy a $1.35 million condo in District 15 first and a freehold landed property in Kuala Lumpur later on will you hold it against him? If many are saying that Ah Keong should buy a brand new japanese car as his first car rather than a BMW 535i COE car which is known to give problems later on will you also hold it againt him? If many are saying that Ah Loong should work in a local firm in finance but he chooses to work in an international firm (no politics and drama) and ten years on he earns $18k monthly with annual bonuses exceeding $100k non taxable will you also hold it against him?

Thanks for your comment. All i merely did was to ask about rolexes so I can get one piece for my partner one hopefullly purchase from the little I've saved up so far and a supplementary enquiry about a Frank Muller watch that my younger brother did mention last year that he liked. Instead I had 3 persons attack my supposed liking for the Frank Muller watch.

Your money your life. Giving too many a Fs to what other thinks or deem right is too draining on your sanity.
Or as the young ones preach #yolo

Chill, friend. My comment was never meant to put you down but just sharing what I generally feel. I did say that taste is subjective, didn’t I?

I think you gotta make sure your partner like this watch and if he’s an employee he might not have much wrist time for this piece.

Yeah chill.

Buy grey. Buy ad. Bundle. Etc. Diff route nia. Most impt buy happy.

Some might not like the simi fm. Some might not want the longines the tudor etc.

Some dun wan2 bundle. Fine fine lar. But no need go ard bashing here bashing there lar.

 

[spurman]

One advice is that watch collecting is an expensive hobby and one should not buy watches and expect them to appreciate in prices.

 

[spurman]

Alas i joined this hobby since 2021 and kinda hooked leow.
Like most, i like a rolex. And i like it from an ad. U know that buying feel..
And yeah naturally i joined the "game". Bundled 2 tudors and then allocated the sd43.
Am "lucky" that my taste for rolex sports kinda different. A sd43 is prob much easier to obtain.
Along the way i like some non rolexes leow and i tell myself. F.. just buy what i like bah. Though easier said than done as sometimes taste changes lor.
I got a aaron kwok but alas got it off after a short while. I even got a tudor rootbeer and it was gone pretty quick. Thought i really liked it but alas it was not meant to be.
Took hits on both naturally.
Oh not to mention a fifitysix vc. But same same when i put my name down i was darn keen. But mths later when i aquire. I lost interest.
Have since aquired a longines spirit which i really enjoy till now and lately got my breitling orange superocean. Fun watch. Lighten my mood when i wear.
I even got myself a sd43 in 2t. As i really really enjoy sd43 to have it both. I swore myself off sub unless being offered a smurf. Hee.

smurf should be easier to bundle since it's going way below retail now

Smurf or Cookie Monster? Smurf is usually referring to the blue dial blue bezel in white gold sub which is discontinued. Current model is usually referred to as the Cookie Monster.

Whoops my bad. Cookie monster. Hee

Bundle only with someting i like or if my wife like something bah.
No hurry yet. Only have 1 left wrist to wear. Hee. No need too many watches to rotate bah.
Though would love a rolex explorer 2 in black dial as my next rolex and will meant to wear it.
Would also like a breitling superocean turquoise. Though kinda overpriced for a basically eta modified movement. And still loving the orange superocean so far.
Oh. Along the way, picked up a nice apollo 50th speedy. Its a great looking piece. Though it has the least wrist time so far.
Usually i pick up the ss sd43 on most weekdays. A day prob for the 2t sd43. For evening jogs and wearing b4 sleep, the longines spirit gets my time.
And for swim and weekends, the orange superocean gets its time.

The 2 tudors had been given away, one for my dad and one for my collegue.

Anyway if my AD does offer me a Pepsi or a Starbucks or the Gold Pepsi, I will take it. Keep for a while and will still sell them eventually. Flip. Hyposcrisy aside, these r still not my cup of tea. But knowing well these r flippable. Ya will still buy them lor. Pai seh if i do.

why the sudden interest in watches?

 

[spurman]

why the sudden interest in watches?

Partly due to free time during covid earlier on. Hee. See vids. Youtubes and interest in rolex grows quickly. Kinda a badge *****. And thus things gets started and interest is still growing.

Though not much interest yet on movements n decorations of movements. Hence almost lack of interest on dress watches n complications. Somehow wearing watches makes me smile. Hee.
