In an effort to maintain the level of interest in the new watch sub forums

I make the following observations:-

G
Nice Panerai.....but as Paul suggests you need to have sex with yourself a lot more...to get the wrists to fill it :thumbsup

Sub versus SD?
Sub everytime!

Tut
That is a truly awful watch.........and certainly not up to M.U.F.F. standards .....you need a proper COSC chrono for that........plus that bracelet will pull hairs out :damnfunny

chat is that the SD could be the next grail watch though.

And you haven't explained the basis of your assertion that Daytonas were being flipped for £9k either. Get your fingers working, there's a good chap ;)

And you haven't explained the basis of your assertion that Daytonas were being flipped for £9k
Laws of Supply and Demand.

1. Main reason is that the usual trade suspects advertise stock they do not have in order to convert sales enquiries to other pieces or guage how much they would really pay on the run up to christmas
2. Those that do have stock in December are likely to have grey market pieces

3. Those that have genuine UK AD stock were flipping them to the highest bidders in the trade
hence the "must have one for christmas" prices of £9k.

For the other Rolex pedants .......check the country codes below to see where your watch really came from!! :twisted:

As Edinburgh's answer to Flavio Briatore.......it is probably too understated for you :thumbsup

Heide Klum has been seen wearing them!

Not at all.

I have a old school Carerra that I bought myself for my 30th.

I do like any of the Grand Carerra.
