I empathize with your thoughts on the AD and grey market games.
The same things are going on at dealers everywhere. Maybe not for every customer but it's a worldwide issue. If I were buying a new watch and the dealer who could order the Explorer gave me that as a sales pitch I'd pass. You're correct, it's an artificial game and everyone is a contributor...Rolex, their ADs and the grey market.
Yes, De Bethune is an excellent option both new or pre-owned. Great style too! Glad to hear your Air-King gets the use it was intended for. Looks great on you. Enjoy!
Why Rolex makes me happy
On my off days, I enjoy taking the AK out, and going for desserts. Desserts give a much needed sugar-rush to the tired mind. How I look forward to more Rolex pieces - something which doesn’t happen much in my life. But if I could choose 1 piece only, perh...
Your moniker was well titled…
If only I could drink that and still look like the guy sitting behind it!!!
My weight fluctuates a lot
This shot was taken 3 months back, when I swam 1.5 hours daily. Haven’t been exercising for 3 weeks now, and my weight went up 3-5kg. Life became so busy this month. The weight gain shows on the face and love-handles. Gotta get back to exercising. It keep...
I will try to guess
3 tries here: 1) Explorer 2 white dial (2021 edition) 2) Seadweller red text version 3) Milgauss Z-blue Pls let me know. I am very curious.
Great choice
I have never seen a deepsea james cameron in real life. Nowadays the watches go grey as soon as they hit the ADs. I’m hoping for better days to get a Rolex again. It always feels good to purchase a Rolex.
for a while, i thought you were eating 油条 😅
my Air King says Hi it's the watch that has been on my wrist mostly for the past year ...
It does look like dough fritters
I miss Singapore. Buying watches there is so much easier.
hahaha... that'll depend on what watches are you buying, especially if you are buying from an AD
even if you see the watch you like on the display window, it doesn't mean you can buy it 😒
Looks highly enjoyable.
They don't come easy to me but if I were to get a second Rolex then Cellini would be top of the list. Already have one Rolex in steel on bracelet and that's enough for me. Moser would also get my attention in that price category.
We must keep our dignity
I admit I paid 15% higher to get this on the grey market. It is a small mark-up compared to the other pieces, but deep inside, I don't like the feeling that I'm being manipulated by artificial scarcity. I called the AD to enquire about getting the new Exp...

so sexy
I bet them ladies check you out all the time, especially when you wear this piece. I might get another one, just in case I accidentally break my one and only piece.=) Wish you a great week, my friend. It's great to hear from you.
Yes this is wisdom
Echi, which watches haunt you in your dreams? I have occasionally been haunted by the following: 1) Omega seamaster tantalum titanium 2) Omega aquaterra worldtimer 3) Glashutte Original Seaq (the smaller version) 4) IWC Spitfire chrono in bronze 5) Panera...
Brands that I like to explore are not readily available here..
Like Doxa for example. Or Zodiac. Tudor maybe a BB ETA version. The new chrono perhaps. Rolex maybe the 41mm bluesy. But that’s something that I need to try on first as I’m not exactly a 2 tone guy. So that’s a big maybe. The new Omega Seamaster 300s are ...
Well chosen
Yes Seikos are beautiful, especially the white birch. Does the bluey sub have a long wait list too? I don’t want to call the AD anymore because I’ve been bugging them for the entire inventory of sports rolex, and they said maybe they’d call me. Have a gre...
AK is beautiful!
I have learned to love Rolex. I just gravitate towards them. It’s not that I am looking for status by owning them... they just speak to me. The shot of the AK is in fact my wrist. For some inexplicable reason, I didn’t buy it, and now the prices have run....
I like the Z-blue too
It is so special. The halo effect can be observed from far. I might get one later in the year. We’ll see how things fan out for this year. But for sure I am getting another Rolex this year.
Churros are great
I grabbed some before Melbourne lockdown #4 as my local SanC is more than 5km from home. 🥺
