What's wrong with the wg bezel? Why cannot take? It's the biggest selling point of the fluted bezel in my opinion.

Muslim are not allowed to wear gold ...... white gold, everose gold

i've heard of that too but i noticed some malay uncles are wearing DJs with fluted bezel, not sure if vintage DJs are stainless steel?

well, there's 2 PoV here.. the more liberal scholars say white gold loses its "gold" identity once mixed other forms of metal.. here in malaysia, the scholars take a more stringent opinion, that irregardless of the mix, it is still gold..

so, the hour markers are white gold for submariner, GMT and explorer? i that its full steel, no? huuuuuu.. so milgauss is full steel? saw a few options out there for RM22k but 2009 or 2011 models.. worth a try?

called up rolex.. & they confirmed now all models hands and hour markers are white gold based.. hmmmmmmmmmmm..

There's abundance of choices depending on your budget range.....buy iwc for example..... No need to worry about the gold hand or whatever.....

I rememver seeing a thread where you mentioned you took the plunge and bought the datejust already quite recently saprozeldo..... Now looking for the second rolex already?

What a rollercoaster.. Tough being a newbie.. So here's the question.. Would you go for a milgauss or datejust2? To me, both are nice albeit the milgaus thunder/lightning hand is an acquired taste.. I had mixed feedback as to future value.. Some say datejust2 retains better than milgauss and vice versa.. Some say if u wear d milgauss, it takes a second look to realise its a rolex.. Now kinda shaken my earlier position.. So whats ur pref & why, datejust2 or milgauss?

Thanks. I didnt realise this. Good to know and will do more homework on this. Not trying to be an ustaz, but considering that it is part of a watch, not decorative jewellery ( at least for me), i believe this is debatable even among Muslim scholars.

Sorry guys, just a sharing between muslim members.

Off topic, but it would be good to know what's Muslim view on gold in horology, as knowledge sharing.

Reason being, I saw many of our Malaysian leaders wearing their AP & PP in public, though not gold model, but part of the movements are definitely made of gold. Unless those are fake

its a very personal choice. One is a sport model with a scientific snd dressy characteristics, while we all know what datejusts or day dates are targeting.
Is it important people who took a look at your wrist must immediately recognise a Rolex? If yes, then the Milgauss is a poor choice and the DJ is probably the most 'rolexy' watch after the sub or GMT.

Value? its very subjective. How much are you paying for these watches? If you need to sell, are you patient willing to wait for the right selling price or you need a quick sale?

Personally, i will take the next few days to walk to as many AD and try and try and try and try. And buy only if you're sure you'll love and keep it for quite a while. All the best.

Thanks pexus.. i recently got me the green sub.. since that's rolexy enough.. your suggestion makes sense to go for a milgauss as my next target.. i really do dig the green sapphire effect on the blue diaal..

13k for a sub is very good price. But the condition must b something you can accept. With cert doesnt mean it is not stolen good etc. better giv it a check at rsc before cod.

akykmy · « **Reply #74 on:** March 29, 2016, 08:12:54 AM »

what about the oyster perpetual with new 3132 mvmt... nice handsome price but will it fit the 15k budget?
