Thanks for the response.

Where would you recommend I look for one? I’d be a bit nervous buying on eBay personally. Is buying privately my only option or can I buy from dealers at this price?

Hi

I am looking to buy a stainless steel vintage Rolex, preferably a datejust or oyster perpetual.

Is it possible to buy one for around £3k? If not what should I be looking to pay as a...

Thanks yes they are a well known company and offering a one year warranty with the watch. Pics is a good shout.

Hi All

I’m going to a well known jewellers tomorrow to view a used Rolex Daytona that I’ve enquired about.

It’s white dial 2004 model, with steel bezel and obviously used though I’m told the...

Yes I'm really torn between the two! The blue dial makes it a great every day wear watch while the two tone is a true classic!

What sort of wait times have you been quoted by the AD?

That's what my slight concern is too. Have you seen the fluted blue dial in flesh? I wonder if that's much better - but does somewhat deviate from that classic look.

Thanks both. Agree that the blue and silver dials both have a classic look.

However does one think of a two tone yellow gold version when thinking of a typical datejust?

If this was not...

Which one out of the following would you pick, and why?

1. Two tone Oystersteel and yellow gold with white dial: https://www.rolex.com/watches/datejust/m126233-0029.html
2. Oystersteel and yellow...

Hi All

I have around £20k available that I am lucky to have received from an investment. I want to spend this on a luxury watch with a view to further investment.

I always buy watches that I...

Some interesting responses.

Surely buying a luxury watch is not just about getting your hands on the watch but also about the pleasure of process of acquiring one, no? I have bought two of my...

Hi,

We often talk about the issues we encounter with retailers when buying a luxury watch. Believe me I have some horror stories to tell myself.

However I am sure we also have some memorable...

Stopped by at an AD today he tried to upsell me Rolex Seadweller Deepsea 116660, black dial priced at £8900. They had one in stock and he said that's very rare.

I tried it on and must say a very...

Thanks for all the messages, but I'm sorry to say that I'm even more confused than before!

I'm definitely not in a position to pay £20k+ for the 6542! Which leaves 16710 and 16750 as the two best...

Hi,

I have my eyes set on the Rolex pepsi as my next watch. Not the white gold one (I wish), but the steel one. However as I understand that there has been more than one model with variations over...

Interesting responses. Keep them coming :)

Would any particular AP qualify (used at this price obviously)?

Hi everyone,

Burning question for you all lovely people - in your opinion which luxury watch is the HOTTEST ONE to buy right now from investment point of view under or around 10k.

New or used...

Update: I rang rolex service helpline and they told me that when you buy a watch from a retailer anywhere in the world then the card has to be scanned and three things have to be filled in: the...

Thanks everyone for your kind help. I will ring Rolex for clarification.

Hi nunya - thanks for responding. The dealer says the watch is only 10 days or so old. Is there a way to verify that the warranty is valid?

I think the watch may be a grey import because the...

Hi

If a watch seller says that the Rolex comes with a "blank card" what does this really mean? I'm in talks with a dealer (not an AD) for a new Rolex and he mentioned it to me.

Many Thanks.

Thanks Shakir.

Does anyone have any other comments/suggestions/experiences to share regarding above?

Hi Cooper85, that makes sense. Has it been discontinued or there are currently none available to buy temporarily?

Another thing - sorry if this is an obvious one but why is the Hulk going for more than the list price?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Gives me a great starting point.

However I am wondering if well known jewellers is the only way? I often hear about small scale dealers that are not as big as...

Hi andy tims and thanks for your reply. I know about watchfinder, however not quite familiar with chrono24. I will check it out.
