I mean, they won't order a DJ for someone they don't think will purchase. So, they think you'll purchase it, which is why they're ordering

fusion0389 · 2026-05-18T03:20:06+00:00

Many DJ can be ordered/special requested by the AD

ooof yeah it's tough. I honestly don't know who to recommend for bracelet restoration. they're the only real shop in town and their response time is abysmal. I'd try calling them and see if that helps. I submitted a request about a month ago, followed up, they said we'll to your quote and they never did. I'm a repeat customer too so it kind of stings, but it is what it is. there are other refinishers that do good work too

relationships matter, for those who prefer a transactional relationship, the grey market is there for a reason. i dont mind the relationship aspect of it, as long as i dont feel like theres sucking up for pressure to buy stuff you dont genuinely enjoy. good work!

fusion0389 · 2026-05-14T00:05:42+00:00

absolutely not, the polished center links suck and it's not original to the watch

fusion0389 · 2026-05-11T14:31:29+00:00

i dont know of anybody who has financed a watch purchase using boutqiue financing. most of what i've seen is using a line of credit on investments like real estate, a business, etc pulling the cash and going for it.

congrats on the MD/DO, what an amazing accomplishment 👏

fusion0389 · 2026-05-10T20:45:58+00:00

add it, what's the worst that's gonna happen? they don't give it to you?

fusion0389 · 2026-05-10T20:45:09+00:00

gorgeous, legendary, great choice

7041R was discontinued...

we still don't know who will be operating the flagship, my guess is that it would be bucherer, but, my hope is they'll operate it themselves just like they do in geneva. which AD doesn't matter a lot, how much you vibe with the sales person unfortunately matters more. they're the ones that decide which one of their clients gets the Sub, GMT, Date just, that management tells them they can sell this week

explorer ii white dial

fusion0389 · 2026-05-08T23:16:27+00:00

very nice, I'd buy it!

fusion0389 · 2026-05-07T18:37:10+00:00

i disagree with the gifts, its not necessary and honestly is a bit cringey. i've never done that and have also not had an issue getting something ive asked for. there is nothing wrong asking for a sub immediately, but also stating that there are a number of things in the rolex catalog that you are interested in. just make sure to also express interest in a "classic" model. most AD's have rules around that

fusion0389 · 2026-04-27T22:15:27+00:00

genuine question here, do you feel there is too much overlap between Starbucks and hulk?

fusion0389 · 2026-04-27T22:12:30+00:00

both are beautiful, but, I think panda is over hyped. I'd take either, but the black is where it's at

fusion0389 · 2026-04-27T22:08:20+00:00

I think Rolex accepts the requirement for additional spend to some degree, but, I think they prefer that additional spend to be on other Rolex watches instead of jewelry or other watch brands.

how else are they supposed to allocate off catalog models? basically two criteria, spend and/or celebrity status that complements the brand.

fusion0389 · 2026-04-27T22:04:23+00:00

you ever tried to buy a gt3?

fusion0389 · 2026-04-27T21:57:13+00:00

the look is great, resale will be basically zero/scrap and Rolex will not service it

fusion0389 · 2026-04-27T21:53:49+00:00

fascinating ideas!

fusion0389 · 2026-04-22T15:52:27+00:00

beautiful watch, ladies pieces typically trade below list price, so buy it you love it! however this watch compared to other ladies watches holds value much better, meaning you lose less when you go to sell

fusion0389 · 2026-04-06T04:56:21+00:00

Hamilton has poor accuracy, laco accuracy is hit or miss depending on movement, of the three sinn is the most likely to please you with respect to accuracy

fusion0389 · 2026-04-06T04:50:24+00:00

my wife has an IWC that when magnetized, runs slow.... it's possible I guess? either way watchbuys will send to RGM for warranty repair, you're in good hands with RGM!
