Correct me if I am wrong, Cartier doesn't have its own movement and thus doesn't retain its value well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroymenthol 6th Gear December 21, 2011 Share December 21, 2011 nice white gold Daytona. White gold daytona has 2 dead giveaways. First, the numerical index markers as opposed to the stainless steel's plain index markers. Second, the red chronograph hand and the red subdial hands. I thought that should be very clear to so-called rolex fans. And i don't even like rolex, myself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viceroymenthol 6th Gear December 21, 2011 Share December 21, 2011 Correct me if I am wrong, Cartier doesn't have its own movement and thus doesn't retain its value well Lots of watches don't have their own movement. The early out of production Panerai also do not have their own movement but their resale prices are very high now. The current low to mid priced IWC right now also do not have their own movement. Both these brands utilise the reliale workhorse 7750 movement for their non in-house watches. The Rolex Daytona used to house a Zenith chronograph movement called the El Primero. Now those examples are trading for high prices. The AP Royal Oak 15202 used a JLC movement, while owning a large stake in the JLC watchmaking company. That the Cartiers do not retain their value well is not a result of them having non in-house movement. It is because Cartier are first and foremost jewellers rather than watchmakers. It is the same thing with Bvlgari and Tiffany. These brands do produce classics such as the Tank Francaise and the Santos, both of my wife's favourite daily watches, and the Bvlgari-Bvlgari, but ltimately they are remembered more for their jewellery than watches.

Viceroymenthol 6th Gear December 21, 2011 Share December 21, 2011 Corrections. It is SS not white gold. surprise surprise....heh heh. 9 out of 10 say it is WG and we all know why. ssshhh secret. You clearly have some knowledge of Daytona series As mentioned I paid $17,800 brand new from Watch palace in 2006. WG would be >$23k at that time... WG has numerical indices and red chronograph hands all around lah. What knowledge of Daytona series. It is obvious differences to anyone who can be bothered. Just because you put it on a black strap doesn't mean it is white gold. Unless you like to fool little kids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceroymenthol 6th Gear December 21, 2011 Share December 21, 2011 To each of his own liking,for u wan everything plain & original so wen sell that time can fetch a better price but for me is I never sell watch,all the years my Rolex never sell,me only buy..

Maybe I need those gold colour+bling bling to bring out my dark colour skin.. yup to each his own but thats not the reason. I dont necessarily like it plain and original and original also dont necessarily look good like the hulk, so freaking ugly. i basically dont sell my watches or look to sell them. although I have sold 2 before but both were pretty thrashed up as I wear them daily. I dont put them in a safe to keep. yes if you have darker tone skin, solid gold with cream dial is nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you like to fool little kids. there is more to it then just the black croco strap which made turbonetic say that it is WG at one glance. and it is by that knowledge that he mistakenly say that it is WG without looking carefully.

A friend of mine is watch dealer & he know lots of things that we do not know.. Daytona and submariner both got white gold. The sub is the blue bezel and blue dial with full white gold case and bracelet ( do not confuse with the two tone), nicknamed the smurf. Last time somebody here said the smurf sub got steel one, i told him that his must be chiong one. Turned out he was talking about his twin tone blue sub.

Viceroymenthol 6th Gear December 21, 2011 Share December 21, 2011 AP, I like the Rose gold Rubber clad but I cant afford. Rose gold rubber clad too cheap looking for a man of your status. Go look at what kind of rose gold and yellow gold those rappers and NBA stars wear.... Best is Arnold rose gold or yellow gold all stars offshore, which is 48mm by 61mm of solid gold bling. You can see an example displayed at Watcharena, balestier rd, seems like it's been there forever. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
