That’s why they say, get something you like and will last you a lifetime...

And the 114060 was 10,800...if you can find one for 12-13k and 2018-2020, I think is reasonable...1.5k - 2k premium looks alright
But that’s me..

I already say it's still above premium.
I say overall market price go down.
U expect it to go down to rrp or below rrp?
Wait till the day where everyone don't buy rolex.
Maybe got chance.

If cannot afford pay premium. Don't wear rolex.
Wear tag heuer. 25% off retail.
Tsk

for those saying takes a year to make a Rolex..

Here’s a vid where they said it took 5 weeks to make a special ed.

 

[gazar1]

Lol 1 year to make one. Jiak sai already rolex.

Ya la they thought Philippe dufuor meh one year make 1 watch


Do simple maths rolex produce 2.5k-2.7k watches in ONE DAY.

And the rest don’t need argue please, I used to work in AD before.

 

[fade_white]

Actually who started this one year myth. Not they themselves say I suppose?

it is well known that rolex is mass produce watches.

No unless you're a watch collector.

It's expensive hobby.

If I can turned back the clock, I would saved enough money for only one watch as my daily usage.

No doubt that I love to own a tourbillon but practically it's doesn't make sense to me to get one.

For keeps and hand down...
Sometime do we really need many watches?
My Tag Link is still working..also 23 yrs, bought together as a pair.

For me, I have a few, but I keep wearing the one ... so the rest don’t get any wrist time...
Though I tried to rotate, but in the end, just that Subby that I put on...GMT and Tag are in the box....
And the bad part is was looking at a Santos...

If from planning, to manufacturing, to production, to assembly, to QA/QC, to etc, the entire process from none to built, yeah lah, maybe I believe a yr lah but a yr just to assemble? Unless they sell 100 mil per watch lor if not confirm jiak sia.

 

[Jeremy1]

If not wearing, best can let go at a good price.

Some people will buy only one watch and trade when wanted to buy another one.

Some watches are keeper.

Thot of letting go and the thot of difficult to find back...Made me even fearful. Just keep ba.
Hand down to son and hopefully he and I can share between us.

Hhmm, looks like you nail it...
I think is just like car manufacturing ba... from initial sketch to pre production, probably 1-2 yrs...
When everything is up... mould, and what not, then is weeks ba..

Rolex produce about 800k to 1M watches a year. COVID numbers maybe half.
Minor change to start of mass production maybe 6-12months.
But once start mass production say 800k watch made a year. That’s 800k / 365 or ~2200 watches made a day.

Car u think just 1-2yrs? Just look at full model change releases vs annual releases. Annual releases changing little at most a year. U have to consider lead time to ship parts to plants to assemble and lead time for plant to build enough to ship to dealerships.

Just look at 3 series. Every 7-8 years a major change meaning from planning to mass production is at most 8years in the making granted in between they have to juggle annual small chances into play.

Include the time they spend waiting in the warehouse until they release it to AD for them to call up ‘waiting list’ people. LOL

apart from that, their manufacture is very big, 4000 employees.

so yea, and their most complicated movement is a 9001, even that, their finishing is okok only because its meant to be a workhorse, not a show horse.
