To buy or not to buy
I recently came across an AP RO 36mm, specifically the Pictet & Cie special edition from 2005 of which about 1,800 were made. Pics attached. I met the seller (ex-Pictet banker) in person and had a good look at the watch. It comes with original papers and box. It is in perfect condition, barely worn, never serviced or polished. I negotiated the price down to $6,300 and have until tomorrow to decide. Based on my research, this seems to be a very good price as I haven't this specific model being sold or having been sold for less than $8000+.The only reason I am hesitating is the resale value of the watch. It has the bank's logo engraved in the back and furthermore it also has the name of the Pictet banker who originally received the watch engraved in the back. I am wondering how easily and at what price I will be able to sell this watch in the future. I have a decent collection and I almost never buy a watch that I don't think I will be able to sell in the future for at least the same
ROO replacement bezel
Hi fellas,I was just wondering is there a way to get an OEM ceramic (or any other) bezel for 42mm ROO?I've asked the AP SC in London and they said they cannot replace my ss on with bezel that is made from different material. - which I presume is understandable in the sense that they wouldn't want people to tamper around with their design but I am feeling rebelious. I think I've seen a post sometime ago saying that you can get an OEM bezel?Any ideas?
Omega Seamaster 120m inquiry
I've just acquired Omega Seamaster 120m (2411.10.00) in excellent condition.Someone has told me that Seamaster 120m is a Ladie's watch. It seemed to be little large for ladies watch but little small for men's watch. Does anyone have info as to the gender of this watch?
PRIVATE!! Rolex transcript from sales meeting 7 months ago.....
My AD showed the minutes from the annual sales meeting 7 months ago. Lets keep them private here-DuFour: well boys lets get down to it! what are things looking like (yawn)Head of sales N America: well sir we are doing well on most models but our dealers are demanding more SS Daytonas and Skydwellers for their customers.DuFour: wait what? they are demanding!! The next dealer that demands anything- make them buy 100k of those new cases and mirrors we just designed and if they complain again then pull their line damnit!Exec #1: but sir, we....DuFour: you shut up!!! who the hell drank my scotch?Head of Sales:sir, now might not be the best time to mention it but we have 28,500 units of the green Submariner in our inventoryExec #2: actually there another 10,000 units as well in our other facilityDuFour: WHAT!! Why are we selling some many subs with the black and blue bezel and we cant give away the green?long pause......Young exec: Mr DuFour, we don't have a submariner with a black and blue
Amateur Question: SS Sky Dweller, waitlists, ADs
I'm new to the world of Rolex, but have dabbled in some high-end wrist-wear (Breitling, Chopard, Hublot), so apologies for what is likely a dumb question.I recently saw the stainless steel SkyDweller and really liked it. After going to a few different retail locations in NYC, I was told I need to have a relationship with an AD to get on a waiting list. But given I've never purchased a rolex, this would likely be fruitless.Can someone explain how this all generally works? Is the only way for me to eventually buy a SS SD (at market price) to buy a more commonly available rolex, establish an AD relationship and then hope to be put on a waitlist?Just very used to seeing a nice watch and purchasing! hahaAny insight/help would be most appreciated!
