Thread all abt ROLEX - Part 2

[discoburg]

Hi guys,

Just wanted to thank everyone for being so friendly and answering my questions. And also just a small update if anyone was curious.

So I managed to get the 126710BLNR (Batman) from the AD after waiting for 3 months and 27 days. Bought it for $15.7k and really really enjoying the watch.

Regarding the 'buying journey' -I purchased a Tudor watch RTP (7.3) + 2.8 worth of gold)

I managed to sell off the Tudor for $4350, the gold is still sitting in somewhere at home LOL

So net spending was $15.7k + $2.95k + $0.8k (assuming that I sell the gold for 2k and make a $800 lost)
which brings about $19.5 for the watch.

Any thoughts? Or i kena carrot LOL

Which AD sells gold?

Assuming that the gold you sold lose only $800.
As long your watch overall is under 21k. You're good.

Good deal. I haven't been able to get my Batman even though I spent slightly more than you in that specific "buying journey" lol.

Skip it & go for something else

Yeah was thinking to just cash out my journey and get something else that's second on my wish list lol. Haven't decided yet. I will probably need another purchase before the Batman..

oh yeah, it was easier for me because my friend already had relationship with the SA, so there was no 'game' they could play. Really hate it when they sell you the whole 'tier 1/2/3 watch buying journey crap'.

What's your wish list though? Sub?

Exactly, I mean I still like the watches I purchased prior, but it sucks when you want the Batman next and nothing else, but they say you "might" need another purchase lol.

Second I think will be the 124060. Really like the whole ND vibes cos I already have a SD43, so no point getting a sub date. But GMT is still first lol.

 

[TalkingWatches]

seems like a lot of love for sub ND and GMTs. Any bros here have any advise on Explorer2 white dial, hard to get from AD? I know grey premium not much, but my preference is AD . Appreciate any insights on this.

Not that difficult to get from AD. I guess a DJ purchase should suffice to request for one, I think. But still different SA different style. So better to check

Yes. Buy only. Rolex leh

 

[Bloodcrave]

Yachtmaster's pretty nice
Unless you're asking if they're worthwhile "investments", then i dunno you can google around

The prices is before VAT refund?

 

[n1ef5ng]

After tax refund

 

[Damienic]

After tax refund

That’s freaking expensive. Well if you like these models and would like the thrill of getting watches while on vacation, I guess can still go ahead.

 

[FirstPeak6111]

After tax refund

should take into consideration the bank cc charges and FX charges too. That’s at least another 3%
