"Illness" acting up again!

[Oceanklassik]

I thought with my last (watch) acquisition, I will be at peace with myself and not want to buy any more watch(es) for a longer period of time (at least after a year). My "illness" (unfortunately) is however, acting up again, after just few months, and I'm now smitten with the ROLEX Explorer II in white dial.. . The same (old) problem is again, the lack of funds.. .

I hope you can "knock" some sense into me, pleasssseeeeeee..........

I am aware but no money enough to buy. I am actually thinking of buying a new piece from an AD, on instalments..

[exxondus]

I voted sell PAM005 to get the explorer. Reason because I seem to have lost interest in base PAMs. Only 312, 233 and a few submersible interests me now

but of cos, thats just me.

And who in the right mind will buy it at premium huh... ? An Explorer I (39mm) was recently posted for sale here at $7,800 , and what will likely be the price of the new(coming) Explorer II?

[feilong108]

hahahaha...u be surprised how many ppl will pay the 'premium' price for new releases from rolex..hahahaha.....the hulk is selling at premium and u can see how many ppl are buying at the inital stage...hahaha....

Quoted from you...use the search function and u can find how many hulks owners liao...hehehehehe...

[triton]

first of all, u allow multiple selection in this case. i suggest check all.

set your budget.

if budget allows brand new

buy BNIB on installments

elseif

if like PAM005

get preown

elseif

sell PAM005 to buy Explorer II

save up to buy

else

I am aware. But with high interest rates, as compared to free interest from some ADs.

[wolfeyes1974]

i voted buy with instalment...i think $200-$300 per month maybe ok....just dun overdo it..

Preowned shop also is interest free. But the discount given might be lesser due to the admin fee charges the bank impost to the shop....
