Out of curiousity, did you get it authenticated before purchasing?

Sorry ah, a bit noob, just want to understand how you ensure its an authenticate rolex before dealing since you said no box or paper.

yup arrange the seller to deal at a place that can do authentication one, if all goes well then deal.

Slim / tiny wrist go for 16600

Man size wrist go for 116600 because of the Maxi case.

TOP Hour or Rolex service centre

yeah side by side.

anyway just to share i went top hour. he will open up and verify in front of both the seller and buyer, transparent, on the spot can resize and wear also.

Nice combo... So you got Air and Sea watch liao... you just need a "land" watch to complete the holy trinity.

I suppose a white explorer or daytona is next?

116600 will be the better one, but the prices has gone crazy, all riding on the discon wave. the prices of 116600 is quite close to the sd43 liao, crazy

16600 is about 6k apart from 116600, agar average lah. so it's whether u wanna spend that 6k anot, 116600 with ceramic bezel is definitely more modern luxury looking.

i got big wrist, initially i was thinking the 16600 will be too small for me, but surprisingly mai hiam still ok, doesn't wear that small.

but if one budget allows and doesn't mind the inflated price then 116600 definitely worth buying.

u seen the sd43?

if u ask me, maybe i will throw another 3k to top up for the sd43 that's if willing to throw 16k for the 116600. some are asking ard 19k +/- for the sd43.

its actually whether u like it anot? if yes then mai tu liao.

try bargain down the 16k abit? its a worthwhile buy la cos its discontinued and its a short run for 3yrs only so definitely collecters item.

 

[Johnpierpontmorgan]

thanks thanks
no box no papers, got it for $8750.

I guess u bargain and haggle hard

The cheapest I saw was low 9 on carousell for watch only during the last two months..

I recently got mine from a shop for more than 11k but has box papers

Even for small wrist, maxi dial and the case looks better and have a significant presence.

Ceramic bezel now have a premium over aluminium. But boils down to individual preference. Though ceramic is shinier and really looks better to me. The bling factor is important for a luxury accessory

Ultimately, the biggest difference is the bracelet and the upgraded clasp. Solid centre links really wears like a tank and more comfortable with even weight distribution.

Hence I feel the 5k difference is very much justifiable but to each his own

no i actually didnt bargain and haggle hard. i just happened to meet a very nice seller. he's like a retiree, a very nice old uncle. i guess im quite lucky, i went to view the watch first before confirming the offer. i didn't have to put any deposit and he hold it for me while we arrange a few days later to deal at top hour. all gentlemen agreement.

u know at the moment after viewing the watch got the urge to straightaway buy liao, cos the price and condition was good. but he's really nice to hold for me without deposit for a few days then we dealed.

he has the 1680 and stuffs like that.

i offered, he countered, i tried lowered a little bit but he's firm and i accepted. that's about it.
