fetish72 Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 One thing about Rolex some of their module comes with rare face color that might be the best to get as that in long run people may be looked for it and willing to pay few percent more than what u paying provided the watch is good condition come with all the watch information as well gurantee card.

heman Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 As for me i buy Rolex watches (which is not high horology) because they are everyday watches . They are hardy and able to withstand the daily impact well and suitable for sports and rough usage. Never buy a watch solely for just investment purposes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earth_tone Posted April 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Where do you recommend to get Rolex watches from, Official Rolex Dealer? The Hour Glass? And how long do you guys wait to pick up your watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heman Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 i bought almost all of them either (mainly) The Hour Glass and rarely Cortina . Bear in mind the average servicing is about $2K every five years (basic)at Rolex Centres. I dont trust being repaired by others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKS Posted April 16, 2022 Report Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) The service center is so epic and I enjoy their hospitality. Edited April 16, 2022 by GKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fetish69 Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 I send my Daytona, Submariner Sunburst Bluesy and Explorer2 to the center so that i have peace in mind that my watches taken care by the watch master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need only complete service once every five to seven years actually and though it costs much more one is assured these watches are in good hands. fetish69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still a superior peace of mind that is achieved by not owning any Rolex or other expensive watch that would need service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heman Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Well to each his own ....Rolex (bear in mind it is just a high street end watch) to me is not an indulgence but a necessity for rough almost everyday wear. High horology is a fine art to me. They are more than mere micromechanics. Edited April 26, 2022 by heman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High horology is a fine art to me. They are more than mere micromechanics. I agree with you that Rolex is just a high street end watch. Something like my Tag Heuer but with a nicer logo. It can be a necessity for rough everyday wear. I assume that it is "rough" because these watches are heavy, and if automatic they need occasional winding. This is why my Rolex has been comfortably resting in its box for over 25 years. But if it comes to necessary everyday wear, what is wrong with a $50 quartz Timex? Lightweight, precise, runs forever. High horology is different, it is the possession of an object of human excellence, like an original Rembrandt hanging in your bedroom, much more significant than a large diamond, which is simply a big and rare stone.

earth_tone Posted May 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 I walked into another distributor yesterday, there were only 5-8 watches in a huge space 😅 the server staff was friendly but very direct. She suggest that I leave my name for wishlist and emphasised there is a long queue for every single model. It will be the discretion of Rolex to allocate the watches, no promises made. I didn't leave my name by the way. Feels little like buying Birkin bags? I wonder anyone here managed to get a watch from placing in the wishlist.

I'm surprised that it is such a seller's market. I am glad that I have zero interest in Rolex, and this leaves more opportunities for you guys who like them.
