Rolex buying advice

If you are lucky you will find a late 50’s early 60’s datejust possible to find one in rose gold white dials shouldn’t be hard to find it’s the black ones that are super rare. Also look for a 1018 perpetual. Photo courtesy A. Ciani

If you have a DateJust from 1988 you want to sell I’ll give you $1,250 for it right now. Just send me a PM.

 

I have almost the exact watch the OP is asking for, and it's amazing. My wife wears it on an Hemes calf strap, but the original croc. works well for a man that likes vintage watches.

tap, tap, tap, “Hello? Is this thing on?”

 

He sold it to me for $1249.00.

Ass

 

Now you’re just sadistically taunting Dave.
All kidding aside, it’s interesting to see the wide range of prices on the 70s-90s DJs, Date, Airking, etc

 

100% agree. You treat every potential customer with respect. Reminds me of the John Bonham Rolls Royce story.

 

A watch is not really an investment. its an heirloom piece. if you want a return do stocks. if you want a great watch, that is timeless buy a SS Sub and wear it for 10 years. you will get your money back plus some. My SS Sub, was purchased in 1988... for $1600. Had it serviced last year - Dealer insured if for $9K. the thing is I love the watch so selling is not on my radar. when I'm dead someone in my wifes family will be getting a nice collection of watches - hope they appreciate them.

 

Date just's and the like were made in large quantities in the 80's... and in the vintage market don't bring a premium. they are more valuable for the gold content in most cases.

SS sports watches is the market to be in..... but sadly it also prices people out who like these watches.

 

I have an opportunity to purchase a new gmt meteorite.
I am stressed . I really like the watch , but I have 3 rolexes already & I only wear the one I like a lot everyday (white gold sub) , the other 2 are for special occasions and locked away

Considering I do care about spending the money:
Do I pick up the gmt and have 2 everyday watches and let time heal the cost wound because in the end I will be happy & whole
Do I trade in the wg sub for the gmt and feel I upgraded at a little cost.
Do I not get the gmt if I really like the sub and know that the gmt is no big deal (I really don't believe that)

opinions?

 

Buy it!

Buy it if you really like it. I have been waiting for one and would buy it. Talked to my AD earlier this week and he hasn’t seen one since last year.
