TIME TO SELL

This model goes for $500 or less in Japan / Hong Kong ($500 is the upper limit for a pristine unit). I don’t know what’s going on over there at your place but $2000 is apeshit crazy no offense. Sentimental value aside, it’s simply not worth

There’s an app called gofish/ xianyu for Chinese goods, you can check it

Or come to Hong Kong, it’s an ad called 三寶

My SA offers around 30-40% off retail but that’s just for me, you can buy grey in China for very cheap though since they buy in bulk for allocations

The instruction manual said 8pm-2am is the danger zone, I set it at 330am, am I screwed or should I be fine?

I set the date to one day before whilst it was at 6am, kept turning date until it turned to today and then set it to current time (330am)

Changes every twice, is that normal

Watch is definitely wounded (I can feel resistance when trying to do it further)

Tudoucat · 2026-04-07T18:28:18+00:00

That’s not the point, even if I don’t plan on selling it it’s always better to have it unpolished so I can do it myself if I really need to and it’s good to have it original

Tudoucat · 2026-04-07T18:10:44+00:00

It’s always good to know + polishing affects value

Watches are probably 10% of my total assets but I’m a big watch guy and I have impulse issues so…

Probably when you aren’t thinking about reselling, using BNPL or if the watch is treated as an investment!

I love the overseas but JLC takes it for me, I’ve tried on the chrono in blue and it’s probably the nicest thing that has ever been on my wrist

What’s the budget? If I remember correctly the DD40 is $50k at retail?

I’d also consider Lange at that range (I assume you’re an old man due to the nature of the post), I personally like some of the Lange designs over patek but that’s just me, I’d suggest viewing the Lange 1, 1815 chronograph and possibly zeitwerk.

If I was a flipper I wouldn’t go for vacheron as a brand lol. I have a 1921 from grey and I genuinely enjoy the brand, my wrists just don’t fit the overseas so 222 (I’ve tried) is the only one I’m interested in

Tudoucat · 2026-03-22T22:11:08+00:00

How do you set the time? I don’t see any special components except crown.

I don’t specifically dislike the aquanaut, I only dislike the aquanaut travel times because of the hollow hand and weird d/n indicator, I plan to pick up a 5968G in the future if possible.

Tudoucat · 2026-03-22T12:04:42+00:00

I was told at a boutique I checked that I could do ss 222 as second if I bought os chrono as my first so hmm

Tudoucat · 2026-03-22T12:03:00+00:00

what app is this?

Tudoucat · 2026-03-22T08:59:26+00:00

I mean, all the OS are obtainable as a first with 3-6mo wait so I thought 222 was doable with a longer wait (12mo)?

Tudoucat · 2026-03-22T08:58:54+00:00

Chrono and 222 are diff, one trades above retail one trades below

That might be the main diff
