That is a really disappointing set of releases by Rolex. Green DJ41 looks alright though.
Tudor Black Bay 58. I’m always drawn to the symmetry and perfect proportions and have tried one on a few times in shops over the last few years. But then I start thinking about all the rose gold...
It’s impressively dedicated that people manage to do this, I just wear my watches and reset the time if I notice it’s getting a few minutes out over a month or so. Or more usually I only alter the...
I got 5% on a white dial quartz Tank Must a couple of months ago. Took it back for a refund as it kept losing time and eventually stopped. Rather surprising for a £2k Swiss quartz watch! Naturally,...
Some dealers are already asking silly prices for the coloured dial versions of the steel quartz Tank Must. Just a few years ago no one would’ve paid any attention to it due to being tiny, square and...
I wonder where the old stock came from, and why it wasn’t sold years ago?
Have you thought about going with a different brand perhaps? It all sounds like such a negative experience trying to get hold of a Rolex from an AD.
I was trying to get the new Explorer 1 (RRP...
Just heard from a mutual friend that forum member Peter Skinner (paskinner) died last Sunday after a short illness at 71.
RIP Peter.
Tudor Coke GMT in the BB58 case and no rivets.
Panerai historic reissues shrunk down to 42mm.
Cartier Tank Cintree in steel and not limited.
Patek 5196 shrunk to 35mm so the movement fits...
Got this new today. Cartier Tank Must in steel with 8-year quartz movement, 25.5mm x 33.7mm.

You have a fair point about buying the 116234 instead due to its build quality, but I prefer the older case shape. The 116234 has those wider polished lugs that just don’t look right to me.
The...
If the bracelet has minimal stretch then £4000 is a great price. It’s hard to find any 16234 below £5000 IME. Does he have another one I can have?! :encouragement:
Maybe it could work like that, then again buying a hard-to-get watch hoping that you’ll prefer it one day seems a bit of a funny idea to follow. The OP is in a win-win situation here.
If the OP prefers the DJ he could take the Explorer and flip it here to someone who really wants one (eg. me!) and then get the DJ and a nice profit too.
The Tank Must Small wears quite large on the bracelet, I thought about getting one. The Large (25.5mm width) wears very large on the bracelet as it doesn’t taper, unlike the leather straps.
I’m not sure I understand what you’re concerned about, the dealers sell their stock at the price it’ll sell at.
Where do you think this is going to lead?

They had a few exhibition watches in Nottingham Goldsmiths last week too. TT Sub, rootbeer 18K, a few others I can’t recall. I’d love to get the 36mm Explorer 1 in steel but not really interested in...
I like that new Ulysse Nardin Lemon Shark but I know the movement isn’t very fancy.
I’ve waited 4 months or so, so far. I have bought a couple of watches from the group before but it’s been complete radio silence since I last dropped by. I’m wondering whether to forget it and move...
Funny-shaped Pateks are good value.
Tudor get so many column inches in the watch press, but they don’t really have many truly great pieces, save the Pelagos and BB58. They’d better do something before the ‘vintage dive watch with a...
The spring loaded clasp isn’t for wrist comfort in day to day wear as the spring is too tight for that. It’s meant for underwater pressure expansion whilst wearing a wetsuit. The clasp does have a...
