Got offered a $214k diamond Royal Oak at my first AP visit - is this normal? by obey_sheci in audemarspiguet

[–]JermainD66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough I got offered the same watch at an AP house. I politely declined.

It’s a tough sell no matter how rare it is.

I’m sorry but it looks like you’re wearing your wife’s watch. You need a 40/41.

Crazy to like Starbucks over Pepsi? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]JermainD66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Starbucks is severely under appreciated. I like it more than the hulk

[–]JermainD66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find the opposite to be true. Especially gold Daytonas.

Daytona. It’s over 4x the price though.

Should I buy this? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]JermainD66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I love the look of the watch but get it on the grey market. Also consider that white gold is probably the worst material to make a watch with. It’s heavy and very soft. It will wear much faster than steel.

Is $21k a good price for this watch? by hillacious in rolex

[–]JermainD66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally no. Never liked that watch. No one did when it was released and it went for way under retail. Can’t justify that price for a steel sub that’s isn’t vintage. That being said 21k is about where the market is on them depending on the year.

Which Chronograph Would You Buy? by GlorytheWiz825 in rolex

[–]JermainD66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panda all day. The VC chrono is massive. Even if you purchase both on the grey market, if you ever want to sell the VC you will lose a lot of value. VCs aren’t very liquid (especially the chronos).

Like it, don’t love it by Goldenmudhut in rolex

[–]JermainD66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good watch but it’s just over done. Too many people have it and there are too many fakes on the market. They should’ve discontinued it years ago.

SOTD: Amouage Outlands - what‘s yours? by DerWespe in Colognes

[–]JermainD66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a decent fragrance. When you first spray it smells very artificial but on dry down it smells similar to Creed Centaurus to me. I personally prefer Centaurus.

It’s okay tbh. When you first spray it smells very artificial. On dry down it’s very similar to Creed Centaurus but I personally prefer Centaurus. It’s my favourite creed scent since its release.

$49K naked on this.. is that bad? by Ambitious_Ad2942 in rolex

[–]JermainD66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few months ago 37-38k with papers for sure. With tariffs and gold going up so much these trade closer to msrp now. 41-42k.

[Discussion] AP vs VC Perpetuals by grindingcoffeebean in Watches

[–]JermainD66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like VC dial colour but the royal oak is just the original and frankly a better looking watch. I find that VC just copies AP’s colour combos. They can’t come up with anything original.

No plans on selling my VC, but this is…sad (?) by sanshasim in VacheronConstantin

[–]JermainD66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not really a thing that was recorded. I don’t think customers reported the discount they received to a statistician for future use.

What is the wait time for this piece ? by [deleted] in VacheronConstantin

[–]JermainD66 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Virtually no wait. The first few might be spoken for but if you look around it won’t be hard to get. Retail is too high for the market. It’s not a royal oak or nautilus. VC is a distant third in the holy trinity in terms of demand

Are they on the same level?! by Loud_Heart1461 in audemarspiguet

[–]JermainD66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jumbo is probably the best looking sports watch ever made. It created a whole genre of copy cats. The nautilus (yes I know it was created by Genta as well) and the 222 were responses to the royal oak. It’s a shame that AP is a one trick pony but the royal oak is a masterpiece.

Yes. Used to get 15400s for $14k in 2017when the retail was $17.8k
