Thread all abt ROLEX - Part 2

[gaoxing84]

chill guys... why quarrel over rolex discussion.. lol...
end of the day, seller win with money. buyer win with watch. thats all..

Ya lor. Complain no use. Complain got use won't have such situation.
Don't buy. Price will drop. Nobody forcing you with a gun to your head.

if you need to ask here means you're not ready for it.

just go down to the boutique, open your mouth and get rejected. hardtruth

not that difficult, beats asking all the complainers here, every day complain.

OUch. I see that the retail price on the website is $30,300, but online other sources seem to be lower than that. Also at that price, isn't it more expensive than Patek's Steel Aquanaut ($29,000)?

Not sure where you're finding 15500ST below retail prices, but the current market value of the 15500ST is above retail.

Forget about getting the 15500ST from ADs (be it THG or Sincere) - just go to the boutique and try your luck and maybe you can get the white/silver dial version if you're lucky. Grey dial, black and blue, in increasing order of difficulty.

The Aquanaut 5167A at $29K? Well... all Aquanauts are application pieces (by ADs) nowadays, and only recognized PP customers get through the application process. After getting on it, you've still gotta wait years. By that time, it's gonna be closer to $40K than $30K...

I see. I'm just basing off the prices i find on the website:

https://www.audemarspiguet.com/en/watch-collection/royal-oak/15500ST.OO.1220ST.01/

https://www.thehourglass.com/product/patek-philippe/aquanaut/5167-1a-001/

So i suppose the AP boutique should be selling at around $30k? Prices are all over the place online tbh

nothing wrong, price is correct.
what makes you think AP is cheaper than PP?

One full bracelet, one rubber strap.

i think you should do more research. you're not going to get these by strolling into the boutique.

Always thought PP is the more expensive one. The aquanaut i linked is a full steel bracelet no? So i guess PP is even harder to get than a AP RO.

Never knew much about watches, but recently just wanted to get a nice luxury watch that is versatile and well known. Have been looking at rolex but find the sports models abit too loud and so hard to get anyway.

Wow - AP prices keep increasing, was like 24,900 2/3 years back

The 5167A is indeed quite difficult to get, and impossible for a first time PP buyer.

15500ST, on the other hand, is considered attainable if you're willing to go for other dial options (grey or white), willing to put a deposit, and willing to wait.

I would say something like 15500ST, Daytona Panda, 5167A in terms of difficulty in getting them at retail, within a year or two of requesting.

Yes, I can attest to this.

My AD ask me to get a Full Gold Calatrava before she can help me apply to get the 5167A.

They won’t sell the Aquanaut or Nautilus to a first time PP buyer.

Honestly, the Calatrava line doesn't excite me. Lange's offerings are much more competitive in that segment.

Hope PP introduces a new generation of Calatravas soon.

The 5212A is something to consider though.

The 5212A is nice. Yes, can purchase this to get approval for 5167A although 5212A cost around 14k more than the basic Calatrava.

Apply only. Bo bao get.
That's the sian part. That's why many choose to go pay premium. Get it over and done with.

Wow the 5212A is nice, but so expensive!

Very insightful

Back to Rolex, wish they made the olive green datejust in larger men sizes

 

[bluerare]

every statement you made just made you look

Its true what.

Rolex made no contribution to watchmaking.

Its just jewelry that people and ah beng ah seng wear no?
