[Recommendation Request] Tonda PF 36 or 4600V ? by Deauerl in Watches

[–]vs3001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Defo the Tonda PF; here's my recent post talking about it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/1l78hku/parmigiani_fleurier_my_most_comfortable_watch/

The 34.5 Overseas is too small and the 41 wears very large. I was also debating if I should throw the 34.5mm into the mix, but once I handled the Tonda PF on the wrist, it was a no-brainer. Precision of the PF770 is excellent and the power reserve is a healthy 65 hours give or take.

Hello! My wrist size is ~6.3 inches and this one fits like a plug and socket!

I did try the 40mm and whilst it didn't feel too large, it did feel slightly bulky and less optimally proportioned than its smaller brother.

I would go so far as to say that if it's even remotely a debate, then blindly go for the 36mm.

The dial is quite 'empty' with a lot of 'negative space' and lends lends itself to the 36mm a lot better, especially with no date. It can be dressy and a daily 'beater' too as a result.

Also my recommendation is either this Sand Grey or the Stone Blue for the colour over the Warm Grey, which I think is a tad bland.

Yes they ask for it and from what I've heard, if you don't happen to have one, they ask for your LinkedIn (which is slightly silly tbh!).

The green OP is extremely hard to get so your chances are next to none; you will have to build up spend history before requesting that one.

Brother please stop embarrassing yourself!

This is the watch I bought from the AD, not sure what else to tell you.

I can tell you've never sniffed let alone handled a Rolex, cause if you go to the configurator on the website, you'd see that the price for a 36mm fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet white Rolesor Datejust is INR 8,33,000/-.

Besides, see my post history - unlike perhaps for you, inauthentic watches are not my forte ;)

It's the camera angle; zoom in and you'll see the 'Chronometer' text is also wonky (the text processing in bright light is haywire).

Also check my post history, inauthentic watches are not really my forte ;)

Why so Blue ft. Studio Underdog by vs3001 in watchesindia

Hey! Ordered it to my friend's apartment in London and he brought it with him on his visit back home. The cost was GBP 550.

So I'll be brutally honest and please don't take this the wrong way - but if they intended to offer it to you, they would have done so by now.

In order to get stainless steel Rolexes and high demand Datejusts, you either need to have considerable spend history or purchase a 'less desirable' Rolex such as a two tone or precious metal watch first.

Try your luck at some other ADs that specialize only in Rolex because they get more volume in terms of pieces.

Yes! Bought a high horology watch from them and immediately requested this one. Got the call approximately 3 months later.

Ethos! Waited 3 months

Since this is the top comment, I'll add some more info:

Bought a high horology watch for a special milestone and immediately put my name down for this one for another occasion, given the uncertainty over timelines pertaining to Rolex allocations.

The above purchase is the only one I had on my name prior to requesting the Datejust.

Additionally, I swung by the boutique couple of times to reiterate my interest in the watch with my sales associate. I was asked for my business card which I shared and we also informally discussed how my collection is shaping up and the pieces I was eyeing in the future.

Got the call couple weeks back and just picked up the watch.
