Feeling blessed!

Even myself, this Milgauss was an impulsive buy…I had actually set out to buy a Date Just from a grey dealer that I had seen online.

By the time I visited he had sold it, then offered me alternatives in that budget bracket and my decision was almost instant as soon as I tried it.

Hey all. I’m planning my next purchase. I’d like a datejust 41 ref 126334 with a mint green dial

I’m gonna head to an AD and start asking for availability. Just curious what the average wait time you’re seeing for this type of watch in your area and what the price is. I want to see if I’m getting charged more since I’m in NJ. Or would I do better to buy it in TX which is where my next land sale is going to be. It’s gonna take me 18 months to sell all the parcels, so I don’t need it till after that. I refuse to buy it before even if it’s available because I’m buying it to commemorate the sale of a big project we are doing.

Thanks in advance!

For history, well I have none. I do own a datejust that was my father’s.

I received a package from my Rolex AD on my wife’s birthday. A nice little surprise ,they sent a a Rolex branded cashmere/silk shawl. Very vague Rolex logo only to be seen at a specific angle.

Got my 41 mm Datejust, bright blue stick dial, with jubilee bracelet and smooth bezel!! Love it!!

Long time listener, first time caller…

Just picked up my first Rolex this week. I bought a Speedmaster two years ago and this is my second Swiss watch.

I absolutely love my Speedy, but the DJ is beautiful on a different level and I am in awe’s. Whereas with the Speedy is understated and in my experience mostly only recognized by others who are enthusiasts (one of the main reasons I love it), the DJ is a showstopper. In fact, I’ve been a bit self conscious wearing it. Embarassed, even?

I should not be, as I worked hard to buy this piece.

All in all happy to be part of the community and it’s definitely ignited a passion in me to collect more in the future.

41 mm, date just, blue dial, fluted Bezel.

I’m on cloud 9 knowing how far I’ve come, on to the next big thing!

I think it’s the official car of DoorDash

So this happened yesterday! My wife isn’t much of a fan of this piece but I just love it so much! Probably last one in town to get this :)

This morning we received a call from our local AD. We have been waiting for this call for over 3yrs. We request this watch since I was pregnant with our child. I have no one close to me to share these news with. Thought I would share them here.

The watch is a 36 mm Wimbledon dial with a white gold fluted bezel. It’s my first Rolex any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.

Chefs kiss

Finally pulled the trigger. '22 rootbeer, paid $35K on the grey market like new condition. Thoughts?

Tried to take a regular wrist check photo of the 124060, but ended up capturing all the dust and fingerprints on the crystal. Looks like a meteorite dial at first glance — unintentional, but I liked how it turned out. Thought I’d share.

Oyster Perpetual

Oyster perpetual 36mm with black sun burst dial for my first Rolex.

Stopped in on a whim to our local AD last Saturday, and was surprised with the opportunity to pick this beauty up! First trip already completed!

New pick up for my daily wear. 114270, 2005 serial. Solid end links make it feel very modern. Love the older explorer proportions!

So sorry but no call, more like an express delivery.

So about 8 or so days ago, Thursday week before last, I went with my wife to local AD to inquire about ordering two Rolexes for our wedding anniversary. It's watch year. Needless to say even though we were looking at purchasing two of them we were still told it was going to be year or possibly more until we saw our watches. A SeaDweller and 36mm DateJust. Frankly waiting that long sucks in terms of a wedding anniversary gift.

So I came home and jumped on a few different gray market sites. Grailzee, Chrono24, DavidSW and a few others. Found the exact two I as looking for on Chrono24, including my wife's preferred size, color, bezel, band, etc for the DateJust. A 2025 brand new SeaDweller and 2024 DateJust. Found them each listed with resellers with 100s of sales each and great reviews for reasonable mark ups.

And within 48 hrs of buying each watch they were both delivered by FedEx overnight shipping. One arrived yesterday and the other this morning.

Now just waiting till our anniversary date before surprising my wife with them. Hopefully she is excited since she was pretty bummed learning just how long it takes to order a Rolex through the AD.

I frankly couldn't believe how easy the whole process was going through Chrono24. I ended up using them versus Grailzee because the sellers on Grailzee all wanted wire transfers rather than just letting me use my credit card.

Pictures attached.

Finally, AD messaged and I answered yes! Waited 5 months until the watch came in... It is 36 DJ Champagne Diamond Dial (Yellow Rolesor) -- love it! :) Cheers to other Rolex owners!

Picked up this icon yesterday after a 2 week wait from my local AD. First Rolex in the collection. This piece is a true beauty. I might go for a colour dial for the next one since now there are 2 black dials.

Registered for a black and blue GMT-II on Jubilee after this purchase. Let’s see how long that takes, not in a hurry at all.
