Depends on budget.

Different answers at £1k, £7k, £20k, £50k.

If you paid by Paypal via Ebay, then you need to raise a dispute if the seller doesn't accept liability. Let Paypal sort it out if seller decides not to accept a return.

However, it might have...

I expect this will give you greater satisfaction - wearing 2-3 really good watches - unless of course the 25-30 are a mix of PP, AP, Breguet etc already!

Hi

Looking to get a Cartier case/bracelet valet.

Anyone on here the recommended 'go to' TZ watch guy?

Ah yes - I am the strange one.

Have you ever owned a Nautilus?

How is it bullying?

You've given an opinion on something you have no experience of? And I correctly pointed it out.

Come back and tell us how easily they scratch when you've had one for a few...

Both the 5711 and the AP 15202 are wonderful to wear. They are much thinner than you'd expect and the bracelets are thinner than those found on, say, a Rolex or Seamaster.

To me, they are the...

Based on your extensive ownership experience...

Sadly - it will be one or the other.


Must admit leaning toward the 15202. I prefer the aesthetics on the AP and it was the 'first' of Genta's famous steel sports watch duo.

Prices being what...

Purchased a dummy?

I thought you'd spat your dummy when people had a dig about your tyre kicking?

Good point.

In 2009 1CHF~0.6 GBP -

Now 1 CHF ~ 08. GBP

So, in current prices £19,200 is CHF 24000.

Back in the day £7,500 would have been CHF12,500 - so just inflation is ~ 8.5% per year...

Reading an old review of the AP Royal Oak 15202 form 2009.

The retail back then on a 15202 was €8,500 apparently - about £7,500 at the 2009 exchange rate of 1.13~ish to the pound.

Current...

Heh - you're right. I was looking at ownership clubs etc and hadn't googled 'watch rental'.


Doh!

Thread closed!!

There's supercar clubs for those who want a few weekends driving of supercars.

There's fractional ownership schemes for yachts and aircraft.

Anyone know if there are similar schemes out there...

looks good

But 48mm would look huge on 99.9% of people.

Good work, making your own watch. Hell of a talking point!

But - one picture??

Come on!!

So, do we have a list on TZ of decent watch servicing guys?

This. A real surprise just how good they wear. For a sports watch it is very thin, the bracelet is thin, beautifully made and fits like a glove.

Want.

They are thicker. The 5711 has no complications (well, a date wheel).

5726 is noticeably thicker.

I'll just wait - it may be 18 months. No great rush - I've just blown a bit of my watch fund on...

It will be a heck of a stretch to a 5711. The wife will not be too pleased if I 'invest' 5726 money in a watch...plus I'm sorting of growing on how thin the 5711 is.

And Prestons in Leeds had one last week available.

It is their 'choice' to weed out flippers.

ADs, like a car dealer, will have a distributorship agreement with Rolex. These agreements will set out a whole bunch of stuff and require the AD to...

This para is referring to evidence required in respect of legal action between buyer and seller (or other legal remedy).

I'm not convinced that making a warranty claim is a 'legal remedy' as most...

I have read CRA2015 - a number of times.

It isn't apparent that para 20 applies at all to the retention of a warranty card - I assume you are referring to this para 20, :

A term which has...

Agree - since most of the non-lawyers are a bit off the mark.
