Omega 5-Year Warranty Period

Good news for Omega watch lovers! Omega has done a Rolex, in increasing the warranty period to 5 years! Valid for watches purchased since Jul 2018. 

Yes, that means that the 2018 CK2998 LE and 2018 Ultraman LE now comes with 5 years warranty! Woohoo!

SOLD : Omega Speedmaster Duo

So I chanced upon these 2 pieces of Speedmaster Duo- namely the classic hesalite Moonwatch Pro, and the Racing series at a great bargain. 

Given that the prices in Malaysia would have increased since Nov 2018, and I could get these 2 pieces at a great discount over here, I would offer the same deal to any collectors wanting to add these 2 pieces into their collection. Both are not limited edition pieces though.

Grab both these pieces, on a first come first served basis!

Vitamin Sea

Readers following my FB @ https://www.facebook.com/datoandyblogger would know that I'm having a couple of days of Vitamin Sea to rejuvenate my mind and soul. Since there would spots of water sports here, I brought the ideal watch with me here i.e. a Submariner for the sea, and Green for the nature in abundance here. The 116610LV it was then.

Readers would know that I am a Rolex apologist. I love Rolex watches, and the fact that prices of selective pieces tend to appreciate over time make it great buys for both pleasure and business. Honestly, I reckoned that it does better than FDs at certain times.

I am also a supporter of Tudor over the years, and the interest was particularly refreshed this year with the release of the GMT Pepsi. It has been a while since such an interesting piece was released (the last one being the Monte Carlo Blue), and it has been a truly versatile piece.

And then there's Omega. I was a big fan of its Seamaster 300 and Planet Ocean range with quite a few pieces in my collection; but as I grew older, I found myself attracted more to the former 2 marques' releases so the ones I had were all flipped off. But with the new Speedmaster CK2998 and Ultraman releases, I found renewed interest in these limited edition pieces and quickly added these into my ammunition. I shall be looking out for more Speedmaster pieces over time, and do look out for bargains as I flip them over time as per the norm.

Here's to a few more days of fun under the sun hereabouts :)

In-coming : Caliber 7C46

Looking through some of the watches in the main winder and case, I found that most of the pieces were of mechanical nature and there were only 3 quartz pieces, namely from the G-Shock trio consisting of the Mudman, Rangeman, and MTG-GPS. Even the ones in the safe were all mechanical pieces. This got me thinking and I decided to add a Seiko Tuna with the 7-jewel quartz Caliber 7C46 into the collection.

2 pieces came to mind, namely the MM300 (SBBN035) and MM1000 (SBBN013). Since quartz pieces tend to have lesser appeal compared to mechanical ones, we could expect to enjoy some discounts for these pieces.

Both were DLC pieces and huge like hockey pucks. Which one would tickle your fancy into buying?

SOLD : 2006 Rolex Submariner Kermit 16610LV

Up for grabs is a 2006 pre-owned (pointy four) Kermit released from a collector as part trade-in for one of my watches. As you could judge from the above pictures, the watch was sparingly worn and came with a recent Rolex Malaysia full service papers with 2-year Rolex international warranty (not those in-shop warranty). Note the original Lime green bezel in excellent condition sans scratches- prized highly by known collectors!

Kermit has been long-discontinued and had been appreciating like crazy in the secondary market, as could be seen in the attached Chrono24 adverts for other Z-serial Kermits. Grab this piece at a bargain today, available on a first come first served basis!

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...
