Thanks for that

Which is why I am only interested in the rubber or alligator options that are of similar design and quality to Rolex’s OEM straps.

Thanks

Mine has a Rolex deployment in black alligator, which is nice but a bit formal.

So, interested in the options in rubber or alternative alligator colours.

I’m aware that the internet...

What are the options, besides Rubber B and Everest, for rubber deployment straps, compatible in fit and quality with a Rolex 16519 (zenith) Daytona?

Might also consider ‘Alligator’, similar to OE,...

It’s complicated - Market Value and Replacement Value are generally the same - if you can just go out and buy a replacement at RRP.

If immediate replacement involves going into the secondary...

Beautiful clocks.
A piece of art and very accurate
I have two, both bought from Www.Gutlin.com
More expensive than eBay, but they are renowned Atmos experts and all their clocks come freshly...

Thanks

Thanks for the recommendation - might try him, but anything further South - prefer drop off and collect ?

Whilst I believe the underlying values for Daytonas are robust, I do think the current levels are a ‘spike’ in the market, and are hard to justify for a watch that is still in production at a...

Thanks - Where is he based ? 'Local' always helps (London or M4 corridor to Gloucs)

Can anyone recommend a good independent Rolex specialist ?

Just needs a new crystal, light polish and check over.

I appreciate that the full Rolex Service adds more value, but it's not due,...

I met a chap over Christmas, who was wearing a 'Daytona 116500', whilst doing some tree felling.

I asked him if he wasn't worried about damaging it, and he replied that he was careful, but it...

£25+ seems expensive- I didn't know 16520 prices had risen so much.

However, I would agree that it is a lovely watch, interesting part of Rolex history, and the 5-digit models are nearly 20 years...

To my eye that looks stunning.

Wasn’t the LV a special ‘anniversary’ model to celebrate 50 years of the Submariner ? Probably needs to coincide with the next significant date.
Perhaps worth putting name down in anticipation of...

The Jubilee is a classic Rolex design, and IMO looks superb on several models, providing a lovely ‘retro-look’.
However, some of the later ceramic models do look a bit bulky against it, and I think...

Yes, I've noticed the market has definitely strengthened for these (and 40mm Explorers), in recent months.

I think, in the context of Rolex popularity, there are various reasonings for this:

-...

Just did exactly the same as the OP.

Sourced a classic 'full set' GMT 16700 'pepsi' for a family member, and took it to Rolex St James's to have a new Jubilee fitted.

First class service,...

Even without papers that’s seems like the bottom line for an Explorer 2, so very good if it’s a reputable retailer

Personally, I think the YG and WG models look classiest on leather straps.

Also, the dial colour is important - I've seen quite a few dials that don't flatter the look.

I think this one, albeit...

Just looking at the pics in this thread - what lovely watches.

That hint of subtle colour really elevates the look of the Submariner, without being too showy.

Very classy.

Yes. Looked too good to be true. Scam, presumably

The watches are no doubt from genuine ads, so looked bona fide. But entering the 'shipping info' would have exposed a lot of personal information...

The Explorer II in SC isn't for sale, the owner is looking for an interesting trade. He said he's turned down purchase offers. Also, I think it doesn't have the original warranty card and is the...

I love the Portugieser design - very elegant, superb clarity, and instantly recognisable.

However, I think it looks its very best in rose gold, and I would stretch to a pre-owned 371480 example...
