Hi watch gurus... I need some advice. I have 3 watches in mind, wish I could have all 3 but my budget only allows me 1. I am contemplating between the Rolex explorer II (42mm), PAM00320 and Jaeger squadra home time. Appreciate your views

Rolex.

Dear Bro,

may i suggest you include super ocean GMT,

i found it better feature and quality for money than pam or explorer orange 2

(it's has 3 time zones)

Thank you all... I have my eyes set on the white dial since the beginning. Let the hunt begin!
I have been to almost all Rolex AD.. No stock! Sigh... Have to try harder or practice patience....

there was one last Xmas at Pavillion. it was in the safe and the nice sales rep. showed it to me. premium price though but bring cash and haggle. there's another on sale on a popular local marketplace website.

PM me if you need a contact for the shop at Pavillion.

Rolex for me as well. Just a personal preference though.

Pm you already where to buy rolex explorer orange

bwee · « **Reply #11 on:** February 08, 2012, 04:08:34 AM »

An alternative is to get the old explorer II... The ADs are giving discount for the old model....

gloomis · « **Reply #12 on:** February 08, 2012, 04:39:32 AM »

if you don have a pcs of rolex then go for rolex. if you own 1 then go for pam

rockdaman · « **Reply #17 on:** February 08, 2012, 07:34:11 AM »

i would not buy any timepiece with premium price but if u have money then dont have to bother.

of coz still opt for rolex.

bwee · « **Reply #18 on:** February 08, 2012, 09:01:50 AM »

interesting comment rockdaman.. maybe this could spark another discussion.. what is the perfect price/value ratio for a watch? and how much would you pay for the watch of your dream? interesting indeed.

Sheng · « **Reply #19 on:** February 08, 2012, 09:12:31 AM »

Rolex Explorer II Black Dial

PM me i have lobang but in JB.

Between the 3 i would always go with Rolex. Good luck hunting.

Each of the brand has their own uniqueness and nobody beats or win.

I have choosen rolex because to me it has the best 2nd hand value and better known outside the mass market.

I am not rich enough yet so 2nd value had been my first priority.

dsiewmy · « **Reply #21 on:** February 08, 2012, 11:21:06 AM »

looks like rolex is bringing down the house.

oh well, i had 4 rolexes before moving over to panerai. (sub, gmt2c, daytona white & black)
now that i'm with panerai, i haven't looked at other brands *yet* but may change as i get older i think.

first of all i really think u shd decide for urself, by looking at the watch.

taking pam320 and rolex exp2 as an example.

- do u like bracelets or leather straps?
- both watches are versatile and be used for many functions, so nothing much to say here except u can buy way more straps with a panerai

- which brand image u prefer "rolex" or "panerai"?, u have to read a bit more about their stories which makes buying it more fun
- read a bit about second hand value, if this is important to u
- if u r like me, u like to collect and even consider how the BOX looks like, take a look and compare between what u get with rolex, and what u get with panerai
- price that u r paying, are they similar against RRP, or premium? or %discount?

more things for u to ponder before splashing ur hard earned cash on a timepiece.

i agree with what u say, but need to add one more thing.

because rolex is so well known to mass market, sometimes it works against its brand.
example, not many want a watch that every tom dick and harry knows cost $XX,XXX, i for one prefer my watch to be subtle and only known to a very few.

as for second hand value, i think u can easily check based on the sales forum here and maybe even in singapore.
both brands have strong 2nd hand value, albeit if u go to a pawn shop, then rolex wins for sure.

JPSP · « **Reply #23 on:** February 08, 2012, 12:19:30 PM »
