Wearing a decent watch on Saturday feels good.
Even when everything is covered by snow.
Great design, quality, reliability, good service when needed and value compared to what it represent.
Hey, am I speaking about Daytona or Carrera?
Best, Kari
Both I am sure! :-)
Did you pick the Daytona while in Singapore? I just ask because I know the ADs and Rolex boutiques in Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur and selling this watch and a 75% premium!
No, no, no.
I bought it at list in the end of summer from Europe. No rebates though.
I would never agree to pay a 75% premium. From a good shop or Brand Boutique I am always prepared to pay the list. Last time I bought my JLC, I paid the list. All of my Patek I have bought at list. My 15202 I bought at list.
I do not mind paying the list price when I get the service related the same.
Best, Kari
That's good to know Kari :-)
I too am very much against paying a premium for a new watch and I think the fact that ADs and boutiques in Souh East Asia are adopting that practice and are allowed to by Rolex is very unethical. Yes I know business is not so good in the Far East but a recommended retail price is there for a reason.
The nicest Daytona ever! Enjoy your lovely watch. The Carrera is ok but I am an Aston man myself

Ah, Aston man.
I was thinking about AM when buying my Ferrari. But the brand is very unknown to me. Just like Richard Mille.
Best, Kari
Ha! Ha!
I think it would be totally incorrect to compare an Aston with a Richard Mille (even though they are associated these days regrettably!). Aston Martin has an amazing history and has a similar feel good factor that a Ferrari can provide you. Admittedly new Ferraris seem to be better investments than new Astons but now that you have the Ferrari and Porsche, you should try an Aston The discreet elegance and the feel good factor it provided can be associated to owning a Patek!

For me it was easy:
I went to a great shop in Hamburg, Tamsen GmbH. They are AD for AM, Bentley, Lambo, Maserati and Ferrari. I liked the design of California T and as the output and pricing of all the brands are quite similar, I asked to test drive Ferrari. I liked it, went back, made the specs and ordered it.
My wife loves Carrera so she's mostly driving it. For family needs we have 2 x Cayanne and Cali is there to give me some good kicks. I know that AM or Bentley could have offered similar feeling but it was all about the feeling and I do not regret.
Best, Kari
A great choice!
The Ferrari California T is a fantastic choice. I was fortunate to spend some time with the previous California and it was a superb drive. What I liked about it was its compact dimensions and solidness for a Ferrari. A good every day car! And besides you cannot go wrong with a Ferrari
That was my logic, too.
And 560 hp plus 755 nm is enough. Can place a kid to the back seat and when needed, the hard roof opens and there's a great cabrio.
Best, Kari
I love the GTS
and after changing the exhaust pipes to the titanium ones and after Porsche made some magic in the engine room, the car is stunning. Mine is a AWD and that's great in the snow.
If you do not tell anybody, I can admit that I like my 911 as much as my Maranello FIAT. Even Carrera is much cheaper. Great value for the money; just like Rolex.
Best, Kari
gorgeous and this is why Rolex gets the crown :)
such a fantastic watch and indeed very reliable. The platinum version will also look good on you and..it might make you forget about the AP blues.
I have been thinking about the platinum one.
I love the dial but blue dial plus brown bezel is a bit weird combination. Naturally that's a matter of taste.
Best, Kari
Have you seen the platinum in the flesh..?
The blue and brown don't sound good on paper or even in pictures.....but in the flesh....wow...!!
Have a look, then get rid of the 2 AP's and replace with this and you'll be back in heaven

No...
But who in hell would buy my AP? Furthermore, my ethics do not allow selling them. Or perhaps to an idiot from a selected country.

The blue is really nice but I wonder how the brown bezel fits with that. Need to see it. [nt]

California T fantastic car
I ordered this and was delivered with Bianca Fuji custom color. Fantastic car. Keeper which says a lot for me!
I have the same wheels but my car is very black inside & outside.
Just a bit yellow to cheer everything up. I also love mine.
Best, Kari
Great shots.
Interested to hear how it grows on you Kari in the mid/long-term.
Have a great one,
Alex
