ROLEX WATCHES: To rolex or not to rolex?

[ZURC01]

Hi! this is my first post, I have a Rolex Datejust 18K/SS bought in 2000 and a Rolex Submariner 18K/SS bought in 2008. Hello to all rolex owners and fellow tsikoteers....sorry po hindi ako marunong mag attach ng picture....

case in point nung nahold up ang rolex sa GB5, e katabi nun yung patek, di kasi kilala

Magkano ang price range ng Patek? and ano ang mga models nito?

[jon777]

^^ Price point ng Patek greatly varies. common models sell from P1 million to P3 million. Of course yung mga limited/ vintage models are way way more expensive.

the truth is: its safer to wear a Patek than a Rolex kasi the latter is known to criminals (especially yung datejust two tone/ gold) while yung Patek is known only to watch entusiasts

i was planning to buy a stainless steel rolex (cheapest, hindi halatang Rolex) for my mom for all the financial help she had extended me through the years but she declined saying ilagay ko na lang daw sa business ko, so i bought her a necklace with a crucifix instead ( a lot cheaper )

i dont own one and i dont have plans of getting one. i have a Tag Heuer link chronometer, bought way back year 2002. Ang tibay, 4x na nahuhulog sa sahig tapos no maintainance whatsoever. sabi sa akin to have it serviced every 3 years pero ok pa namn kahit di pa na serviced. i wear it everyday pa ( isa lang naman relo ko).

Its a status symbol for Pinoy who rose from the ranks, not the old rich. 'Coz old rich have already departed from the brand long time ago.

True. Hoi Poloi luxury watch ang Rolex.

If ever, the most expensive watch I'll buy is a Tag. Trip ko talaga yan eh.

Yep, in the end you buy whatever suits your needs and what it is you want really.

sa lucerne sa shang, pinakamura ata nila nasa 700k

yes, naglalaro yung price ng patek sa 1-3M. ibang price range naman pag mas complicated ang movement
