A lot of ppl cant afford to like Rolex, as they cant afford to buy it, ........ so equiv em as "abnormal" loh  :Laughing_on_floor:

The fact that you can't afford a thing, doesn't mean you can't like it. I can use a Ferrari as an example, but I'd prefer to use Megan Fox instead. :P

Megan is MINE! :p

If everybody stops buying Rolexes with immediate effect... perhaps Rolex might reduce their prices  ;D

Malaysia has the lowest price in Rolex, but our middle income is also quite low.

This is my uncle's. He told me he bought it in Penang circa 1972 for around RM1600. A few years back he was offerred RM20k for it.

What do you guys think? Does it worth that much?

I don't think it is worth RM20k in its current state. Even in good condition, I don't think it will fetch RM20K. The watch is gold capped and the bracelet (if original from 1972, is likely plated). The reference 15505 is a nice watch though.

If he can fetch 20k for the watch, better sale now, immediately, no need to wait, quick quick before the buyer join this forum

wow ..a gold plated 1550 with missing crown and heavily oxidised hands, dial and bracelet + watch worth 20k?

even a pristine complete set 1550 is not worth more than 5k

btw i am no expert but did they made a gold 1550 or "1558" ?
