Thread all abt ROLEX - Part 2

[Damienic]

Ah, which thg exclusive model u wanna get to support ur AD?

Quite likely the GP Laureato 42mm Black Dial. The Green Dial is nicer but alas Green Dial is excluded from profile building for Rolex

 

[gaoxing84]

Very true. So limited upside to a longer PP journey with AD?

lol buy till a certain point can stop, can't chase them all.
unless pocket deep, like real deep

Wow ok, thats a nice watch! The blue also excluded?

Agree, me thinks Minute Repeater are for people who is so rich that they already have multiple properties and maybe bungalows and no where else to spend their money. Perhaps people raking in millions per annum in income. A working professional even at VP Level will probably not splurge that money on MR

in order to really buy a MR, your net worth better be in the 8 figures area.

True. What would be your considerations and your “point”? Would be good to learn from your perspective as a seasoned collector

lol my collection is forever changing. there's no end point for me. more like a price bracket i wouldn't want to break.
pockets quite shallow now
would love a zeitwerk but the price cmi for new
can't find any preowned white gold black dial for less than 90

Blue included but i’m not that attracted to that particular shade of blue. That blue a bit subdued and not the usual kind of blue which I like.

At least 10mil and above?

I see. Ya I also suspect it’s more fun to have an ever changing collection but within a reasonable budget.
Zeitwerk wow

If I just want a DJ for my wife and a Gmt for myself then AD journey not worth it right? Just directly to grey?

I see. Ya think most impt is go with your favourite version of that watch. Seems like GP is a nice watch.

I just wonder abt cortina house brands. H moser? Hmm

Think depend on which datejust, and also how many additional u need to get before the gmt (and which gmt). Ymmv but on average I suspect not worth it

In March and April they were clearing the list for Late 2021 customers. In May they seem starting to clear for Early 2022 customers. If at the same speed, I should be getting a call from them around Sep-Oct 2024.

I think need more. You 10mil networth. You ready to spend 5% on a watch?
i know i won't unless I am a 1 watch guy but if you are getting a MR, you are probably not a 1 watch guy

 

[gaoxing84]

They go by the queue list. They no time for games. Because now cannot flip. Many ppl put name. End up skip. I got 2 calls for 7900v black.
