Halloween Candies

Jason & Coco

Readers might recalled that I flipped a couple of Rolex Submariner back in June, and one of the pieces were sold to a Doc based in East Malaysia @ https://andywristwatches.blogspot.com/2018/06/wts-2018-rolex-submariner-date-116610ln_26.html. Well, the good Doc had paid the full sum of the watch and we had made a few appointments to meet up, but his tight rounds meant that he had had to take rain cheques a couple of times.


Well, 4 months after we concluded the deal, he's finally found time to make a day trip to fly to KL to pick up the Submariner. During the wait, the grey reseller's prices on this piece had appreciated by RM1k per month; and we have seen similar watches like his in brand new condition being flipped at RM42k. Wow!






During the pick-up, he saw the Tudor GMT Pepsi on my wrist from the review entry @ https://andywristwatches.blogspot.com/2018/10/review-of-tudor-black-bay-gmt-15-months.html, and asked if I had any new pieces on hand. And it was his lucky day indeed as I retrieved a piece from my safe and he was happy as bird.


And to cap off the trip, he was also interested in a similar Omega Speedy Pro that I flipped in March @ https://andywristwatches.blogspot.com/2018/03/wts-bnib-omega-speedmaster-moonwatch.html, and transformed into an astronaut in the process.


Just imagine- 1 weekend, 2 flights, and 3 new watches from Rolex, Tudor, and Omega! 4 days away Halloween might be, but I dare say that the good Doc had gotten his Halloween candies in advance. I could well picture that he'd be too happy to sleep tonight as he plays around with his new acquisition of choice pieces.

Here's to you, Dr and may you wear 'em watches in good health...

  1. That's a lucky man! The Sub and GMT are rare here in S'pore! Lots of premium to be paid here.
