Thread: 1st Rolex...

  1. #1

    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...

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

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

    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?

    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!).
