what type mate,,,, theres LOTS of watches out there you see


rolex watches i would NEVER buy online as theres some FUCKING MINT fake ones about most jewelers would be hard pushed to tell !!!


but then second hand rolex's cost more than they fucking are new i found out this weekend and its due to them only making a certain amount a year to keep the quality high,,,,, i know its aload of bollox too but there is a 18 month wait for a submariner with black face

150 for a watch,,, gonna be a armani one i would guess

OR ebay have new seiko kinetics on there for women and men and ive owned a few of em for year and there fooking mint watches

try to avoid the cheapo fake gucci/cartier watches as they look nice but they first tell the woman that you will spend all you money on her for the first 3 months till the stainless plating wears off then it tells her your a lying cheating scumbag who thinks she dumb and easy impressed


hope that helps

mate you made the snide remark about 18 month wait for the most common watch sold by rolex,,,,,, can you PLEASE tell me if i was talking rubbish or not

buying one from a internet shop who happens to have one for sale is like saying the focus rs is still available to buy as 1 dealer still has one for sale that aint sold as its MORE than it is new

so is the bloke in watches of swizerland talking shite or not,,, i fear hes telling the truth and what you have done is scowered the internet in a attempt to belittle me,,,, aint got a clue why as i aint got a clue who you are,,,, ah well though



so IS the or ISNT there a 18 month wait from a rolex dealer when you order one or not,,,,, im not talking about someones stock they ordered to earn a little extra out of !!!!

see my pm ginge.

here is my Sea Dweller Its basically a Submariner without the cyclops and fitted with a gas release valve.

thing is, once you wear an Officine Panerai you never wear anything else. The Sea Dweller doesnt get any wrist time anymore in favour of a big Italian number. www.panerai.com

After wearing 44mm watches, all Rolex models feel small.

I bet his prices will be marked up on standard list prices (with wait)

Dealers always order an extra few for stock for themselves to move on to customers that will want to bypass the wait.
