The Rolex Apocalypse

Just Received the latest Roles Magazine Issue #06

It is all about the most iconic Rolex watch: Submariner.

The 150 pages literature covers history, metal used, blow up illustration of the watch water proof mechanism and many other topics such as all biological sequence launch of Submariner in 1959 till the latest Submariner Ref 116610LN today.

I note that Rolex put a lot of effort on the Ref 114060 Submariner, there are 10 big pages on this watch including the front page.

It echoes with the recent trend for more people 's focus on these watch, 5513, 14060/M, and I could see more collector is now starting to collect 14060 T25 watch...

Price is going up fast, I bought one 14060 at HK$33,000, and the next is HK$36,000 in just two months time.

I think a full set 14060 will be more than HK$42,000

Minimalism is the trend. no Cyclops, no date.

Should we keep an eye on Submariner No date?

Common question about buying at gray dealer and AD

Frequently asked question about buying AD or gray dealer watch

Q. What is AD?

A. That is Authorized Dealer, that is the official Rolex distributor. They are Oriental, Dickson, Emperor, Chow Tai Fook, Chow Seng Seng, Leung Tim Kee, Precision Watch etc.

Q. Is gray dealer Rolex always cheaper than AD one?

A. Not necessary, sometimes we can see that AD offer 5% discount for certain hot model such as

GMT Master II Blue Black Ref 116710BLNR, but the gray dealer price is as high as the list price, of course gray dealer price is seasonal.

Q. Why most of the People in HK wants AD Rolex?

A. I think may be there think AD is always have Warranty whereas gray dealer Rolex do not. As a matter of fact, both gray dealer Rolex and AD Rolex is 100% the same, both can have 5 years international Rolex Warranty. Probably they like AD because the country code of HK AD Rolex watch is “888” I think Rolex understand HK Chinese like this triple Eight as good number. Previous HK Rolex Country Code was “400”.

Q. So What do we buy gray dealer Rolex?

A. 1. Sometimes it is cheaper, or much cheaper especially those Date Just model, and they have stock available for you. But for Submariner, GMT Master and Explorer series, their price similar as AD’s price.

Q. What is the disadvantage of buying gray dealer Rolex?

A. might be most of them take cash, as their net profit margin is getting lower over these years, and if they take card, there will be reduction of the profit by a few percent, so mostly they take cash.

Q. Will there is more discount if I pay cash in Rolex AD?

A. Normally the discount is fixed 5% for Rolex AD, no matter Cash and Card, same discount.
