hi all guru

i newbie and intend to get a rolex watch but not sure how to go abt.. this thread have 200+ pages and it not easy going thru all ..

Like to ask which are those recommended few shops or dealer then we can buy from them that will not carrot us newbie. I see from some thread that they intro frenz to the certain shop (dunno which one ) and are quite happy with it.

for a start i looking at ROLEX MENS YACHT MASTER "Y" SERIES 16622 at ard $8,800 and ROLEX SUBMARINER "M" SERIES WITH CHAPTER RING 16610 $7650?


Is the price reasonable ?

Rolex watch are very reliable (generally) and doesnt really require frequent servicing
For exterior, just use the high quality lint free cloth provided to wipe away dirt or fingerprint
I wouldnt recommend rugged activities if you are wearing expensive watches
Eg tennis, rock climbing, diving (though the sub is meant for diving), should be avoided

Thanks. The more I look at the watch, the more I love it. woo hoo!!!!

the most rugged activity i do with my rolex watches is dinner and movies
If i need a watch for sports, it will be breitling or omega
Call me bias, but i protect my rolexes alot more

They are made for this... go and thrash them... they'll survive longer than the owner with 5yr servicing.

Its 42hr to 44hr reserve on paper
But in reality often only 36-40hr
Daytona has a longer reserve 72hr
Or 66hr if the stopwatch is running

Would like to ask how long typically does the power reserve of the sub last?

I believe its around 40 hours.
