Are you buying used? If so I'm trying to sell mine. If I ended up with anything over $7000 after fees and whatnot I'd be happy...or should I be expecting more?

Yeah that price was used

If it was new 10.5 would be perfect

Wish I was a jeweler so I could find customers willing to pay that much haha

The only Rolex I wanted was a Coke and I'm still on the hunt . Saw a decent one for 7.5 and didn't pull the trigger

Right now is literally the worst time to buy a stainless sport model Rolex. Prices are absurdly high. Unless you're in a rush, I would wait a bit.

that's why i didn't get a sports model and got...

 

[flyknitlvr]

Beauty. Congrats!

 

[typerpinoy]

Very nice

I thought you had a hulk

 

[rfx45]

i have the batman

love the DJs fluted bezel + jubilee combo, it really stands against the others in my herd of sport watches

was just fitting the watch and my only complaint is rolex needs to figure out a way to make micro and/or on the fly adjustments on the buckle, the integration is amazing and so clean and i don't need glidelock system but an easylink type would be great

Nice watch bro. Nice start for first Rolex.

A number of people already PM'd me.

I thought of a number between 1-100. Whoever is closest by the end of the day will get it. Just PM me what your number is.

Big j 33 was closest to the number. I'll be shipping out the watch to him whenever he pm's me his info.

 

[big j 33]

Thanks a lot, man. Much appreciated.

With my iwc it of commission for a bit thinking of picking up something new. OP39, DJ41 or Cartier Santos are in the mix.

That's why I'm avoiding Rolex altogether lately. Perfect time to sell as Sub and get an Explorer Ii though. (I'm tempted)

 

[rfx45]

depends on what you're looking for

i feel that the Santos is going to be the most unique and but I am also loving the white dialed OP39, it borders sporty and dressy and just looks supper clean

i wish the OP36 didn't have double batons on the 3,6,9 or else i might be in trouble

Santos is on my radar next but if you want to check out more Cartiers, take a peak at the De Driver Extra Flat, the stainless steel is about to come in Sep (if not in ADs by now)

 

[zk1mpls]

+1 on the Santos... but get one preowned if you can

 

[typerpinoy]

i like my watches to be pretty versatile. i'll wear them with basketball shorts and a tank top or with a suit. the santos might be the least versatile but something keeps bringing me back to it.

 

[rfx45]

i think you'd be surprised how versatile it is

the new one comes with a leather strap and new quick strap/bracelet swap system so you can go from bracelet to strap in seconds

it also comes in two sizes, medium and large and iirc it is also slimmer than it's predecessors so it work with a suit if need be

you can check out and lurk this thread from wus and it might just give you the right nudge: https://forums.watchuseek.com/f481/cartier-santos-new-sihh-2018-release-incoming-4674659.html

Anyone have any shop recommendations for picking up a used Rolex Daytona?

ive tried it on before. i'll probably go take another look this weekend.

 

[rfx45]

but if you want something more versatile though some might find too somple and boring, the OP39 in white is really nice

same forum but check out those white dialed pics: https://forums.watchuseek.com/f23/new-op-39mm-basel-2018-a-4665637-32.html#post46166267

 

[typerpinoy]

i definitely want something with a lighter dial.
