Weirs Rolex Waiting List

Lol wait for the wife offers. But the funniest ones are actually real, guys asking if it's too early to ask the ad out to lunch, or what gifts to bring when you drop in. It's basically like dating questions from Patrick Bateman, but the objective is a bump up the mythical list for a blro. I would pay 8x msrp to not count myself among them.

Much easier. A lot more people willing to spend €10k on SS watch than there is willing to spend €40k on a watch .

Be careful at the moment, the precious watch market is in the doldrums. The joy of being offered a precious metal rolex should be tempered with the fact precious now trades around or under retail on the secondary market. So it will cost you a little to own the watch should you sell later. As above though we are generally talking serious wedge for a new precious sports model watch....35-50k so usually not the entry point for the beginner, and if your not a beginner you already know the game.

I love precious but would not accept one at retail at the moment unless it was special dial daytona like the green, a olive dial day date, or a a white gold pepsi. Subs and Root beer in precious are depreciating watches currently.

A lovely watch, although maybe a bit stealth precious for people. The smurf never the most popular watch. I would pay grey for a Hulk or batman rather than buy that. Nothing against it, just doesnt look as mega as the pricetag.

Two tone still sell for a few grand (15-20%) over retail, so it would be a pretty safe buy. I was actually surprised that you could go on a waiting list for one. And this was coming up to the height of the boom late last year. Not in recent months.

I would love a Rolex Submariner, date or no date if available. I am not prepared to buy other products at an AD just so I can get one eventually. Is this possible?

the watches worth 100's of thousands that cab pull out of criminals homes are 20 year old fakes most of the time, i have yet to see one posted by cab that is real.

Watches are available but it just depends who you are and who you know, the sales people know they are handing out the potential for serious profit to people so they pick and choose who they call from my experience, i know a few sales staff and they all say the same thing and if people do not want to play the game then grey dealers are the other option or another brand.

A no date sub is worth €12k which is 30% over the retail price of €9,300. This proves you can't just go into an AD and pick one up. Of course you could get lucky or make the AD real happy somehow. But I wouldn't count on it 😂

That's an older pre-ceramic sub. While a very elegant design, their bracelets aren't great compared to more modern ones. Any jeweler can adjust the bracelet for your size for a very small fee (or might do it for free) and if the watch needs a service, the likes of Weir's (Rolex AD) will send it off to Rolex. This isn't cheap, even if the watch doesn't need any parts, you won't more than a few hundred change from a grand

have you tried travelling with a watch roll or rolex through customs ? they ask many questions and if you cant prove ownership they can seize them or charge you duty

That's the difference. Free movement of goods and persons within the EU. If you are bringing them in from outside of the EU, this could be seen as trying to evade VAT. With one watch one your wrist, you almost certainly will get away with it but if you had several and your luggage was searched, you might have to answer questions. If I were someone regularly travelling to outside of the EU with multiple watches worth thousands, I would carry some sort of proof that the watches were personal and already in my possession before I travelled. Even some old personal pics of you wearing them will probably cover it.

TBF an Ap , 2 rolex and a Jacob &co is a bit different to the average watch collection for a holiday .

I’ve never even held a Jacob & co. They seem to range from naff to exquisite though. The godfather model is a piece of art.

proof of ownership and taxes paid, i have the receipts saved to files on the phone
