Good luck.Bn searching for the gmt half gold at the craziest of times.The search is on for a gd deal.

Just buy it as soon as you can. There's no good deal to be had if you need to "search". The longer you "search", the more you will end up paying.

I say "search" because it's not really a search. The watches are there. It's just a matter of paying for them.

Either that, or don't fall in love with sports Rolex's (or sports Pateks for that matter).

Actually 41 is slightly too big for me. Would prefer like 36 or 39 but do they have the stick markers? Dont really like the roman numeral ones

Perfect starter Rolex, and experienced Rolex players like it as well. This model was a big hit with all the reviewers including Hodinkee when it came out back in 2015.

You may like it so much that you end up keeping it permanently in your collection, like I did... Superbly constructed, perfect proportions, clean dial, sits snugly on the wrist. It will probably survive anything you throw at it too. It's the quintessential go anywhere, do anything watch. Matches any outfit and occasion... Cos you can't always wear a Batman or Hulk with office wear..

GMT rootbeer 2 tone?
You want rrp you either spend alot with ad or you're super lucky.

There's quite a few on carousell going for 23.6-24k.
Go for it if you want it now.
Price for this piece went up alittle.
Was selling low 22k late last year only.

this type no need hurry to buy...overseas peepur not so after tis and can get tax refund...give it another few months by year end boutiques should bave ample stock like teh other black bays
Well I don’t think you’ll walk in and find one locally as well from what I heard. No stock in Australia as I just got back.

$5500 is below RRP. Nego for quick sale :)

I guess it is true.In the end,athena said the same thing abt world wide demand and come down to make a reservation when and of stock comes.That is a gamble i noe dont wish to make.Chuan managed to bring in some last minute stocks according to a friend.

Totally agree, ding and scratch surely have de, questions is are you willing to polish away your gold watch? Resale value surely affected.

This one ah? You know why the pic so blur? Cos 18k gold is sibei shiny. This is what other people around you will see every day.:s13: and this is only twin tone..if you wore a full gold one, everybody would go blind when walking together with you under the midday sun when going for lunch
