I have this IWC as well.
You seem to have a specific style you stick to.
That is really nice too.
No full stainless steel watches?
I donāt like how they feel or usually look. All the ones I like are that are at least in the 50k range. Mine are all around 18k. Iām not at that kind of level where I can get a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak which is what I dream of one day.
Just googled thoseā¦ They look wicked.
It is crazy how expensive watches can get.
That one is 20% too. Dang.
If you like those. Check out Hublot. They make something similar and also looks great.
There are some insane ones from Jacob & Co If you want to check it out. Like half a million.
HYT also makes this really cool one.
Iām not sure. I mean the 101 covers all of them. But I always feel weird going in and knowing Iām not going to buy anything.
I feel the same way lol. I went by a Rolex shop and looked at the models in the window. I wanted to go inside buy I know I wonāt be able to buy one.
Is Rolex what you like? I personally find them boring. Great watches but there are many other I would look at before Rolex. Like Patek Phillipe, Vacheron Constantin, IWC, Jeager LeCoultre, Audemars Peguet. Rolex is probably my least favorite of the high end luxury brands.
I like other makes , but the others donāt seem as robust , I just like being able to swim, race, drop on floor, anything ā¦they hold up very well . The Piguet and Patek watches are great dress watches but probably not as strong . Only trouble with Rolex is the amount of copiesā¦but I donāt mind that really .
My dad has this Patek thatās pretty robust. He pretty much only has Patek and IWC watches.
Another reason i donāt like Rolex is that itās faked a lot. And itās too well known by everyone.
Although I like the look, do you think anyone ever still uses the extra chronograph hands? Being as youāll use a smartphone for any sort of timing tasksā¦
Does anyone āneedā to track to cosmos on their watch?
I also like the big brand ones, but recently Iām more interested on different watches, such as those made by Tokyo Flash
They are quite uncommon and some even combine time and optical illusions.
Hi everyone,
I have been on/off interested in buying a Rolex. Never really acted on it. And honestly, I feel like I donāt know enough about it. I generally believe it is important to know a thing or two about a purchase of something on the pricey side of things, regardless of what it is. Yet, I feel that spark again. Itās probably this huge Taipei Dome ad that caught my eye the other day, and woke something up deep inside, ā¦
So I am wondering, is Taiwan a good or a bad place to buy an expensive watch? Would other places like Hong Kong, Singapore be any better/less expensive?
Thanks for some hints or thoughts ā¦ in getting started. 
Probably best to buy them in Europe in an high VAT country and to do tax refund on departure. The difference might pay for your trip to Europe, so you get a watch plus a vacation.
Itās cool mechanical wrist jewelry. Look at it from that perspective and you good to go.
Exchange rate comes into play for whereās best. Japan and Europe were great last year for Americans to buy.
I need to spend nt$. With the current exchange rate to Eur, that doesnāt sound like such a great move, Iām afraid.
You should do a little research about what the current Rolex market is like everywhere. Itās not as simple as just walking in a Rolex authorized dealer/ store and buying one of the desirable modelsā¦ wait-lists and previous spend on other less desirable items/models is usually required. Unless you have a connection here, I wouldnāt bother.
