I’m in the market for a Rolex Datejust and I’m travelling to Singapore next month. Any benefits to buying there, or abroad more generally? Has anyone done this?

Swing by Japan real quick. That's where the value be had IMO. I bought a few used pieces there (not Rolex since there's still a premium for that brand and others) and substantial savings are definitely realized. Definitely need to hunt around though.

Tudor, omega, Zenith, JLC, Glashuette Original. Def discounts at ADs and great deals on used pieces (in Japan).

Not really.

Also curious. Which one are you eyeing? I also want to get a Date Just

I meant color/style haha I personally like jubilee with fluted bezel and green dial

I've been to ADs in a few Asian countries including Singapore. The only benefits I've noticed are less snobby salespeople, and more watches (exhibition only) that you can try on, but they won't let you buy.

If you are ok going grey, Japan is still the best choice.

Hello lovely people. I need your recommendation. I have decided to reward myself for my accomplishments (paying student loans, supporting parents, past promo’s etc) by buying my 1st luxury watch on my 30th this year. Budget 10-12k.

What would you recommend me to get? I was thinking a two tone Datejust or a pair like (omega/Cartier/JJL)

Really excited to hear your recs! Thank you! 😊

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.
