1st Rolex...

and I've done something I said Id never do, which is get a Rolex,

I've been thinking about trimming my collection down and took 4 of mine in to a shop in Cheltenham to see what they would offer, 2 I wanted to get rid of, 2 I wasn't that fussed on getting rid of but would for the right price!

I have been trying to get rid of my u-boat for ages, I never wear it and haven't had any luck selling it so took that my longines, meistersinger and sinn, all in all I traded the uboat and longines for this 60s vintage Rolex, they were asking £1795 which I thought was high, he offered £800 for the uboat and £400 for the longines, but after a bit if haggling I walked out with the Rolex for those two pieces, so got rid of the ones I wanted to, kept the ones I wanted, and got this...

Congratulations on your first Rolex purchase.
What reference is that?

Congrats, A classic and classy looking piece.

Verry nice. Not likely to loose much on it if you decide to sell in the future as well.

Congratulations, lovely watch.

Thanks all, I'm happy with it and it's a bit more under the radar which I quite like

I think it's a 6694, but not 100%

That's really nice. A Rolex will definitely be my next purchase.

Gratz :)

Congrats, very nice looking Rolex there.

Very nice, looks great on the brown strap.

Well done on the haggling and what a great outcome. Infinitely better than what you traded it for!

A classy watch and looks good on your wrist. Well done.

I can't tell from the pictures, but is it a manual wind or automatic?

Very nice looking watch! Good that you got the deal you wanted.

Congrats! Very nice.

Congratulations! That was a good deal, rolex is classic and it presents very well on your wrist!

Cheers mate, It's a manual wind with a screw down crown

Thats an understated beauty : )

Looks great.
Hopefully, the first of many!

I think you did really well , looks great

Nice watch.

I really like the black dial and gold hands combination. Congratulations on a great choice. Understated cool (or as understated as one can be with "Rolex" printed on the dial!).

Congratulations - your first Rolex is always extra special IMHO
