I'm going to spend 5k on a rolex in about 6 months when i've saved

I was looking at a deep sea. Should i keep saving and get a daytona? Whats the list price?

Hahaha its called a COSMOgraph I have the only real Cosmo! Keeping my Tag Sports Elegance, any watch that gets thrown out of a car as its rolling in Morocco and then found and returned by a stranger deserves to be kept!

Yeah, you could always make a business out of nicking cossies and either ringing them or breaking them for spares.



IK Colouring watches are the ones to have.

I want a white face daytona, but cant lob £7k on one atm.

I did get linked to a replica that looks so genuine, including the fake paperwork that comes with it, that a guy managed to take his broken £300 replica to a genuine rolex dealer and have it fixed so thinking of doing that.

I also really want a £15k Patek Phillipe which is just pure class, and if i did have £7k i would probably buy a second hand daytona and a officiale Panerai with brown strap

Rolex Daytona looks very nice but i personally arent keen on the polished bezel.
Probably be a Submairiner for me or the understated Explorer (Rolex - wise)

Really fancying an Omega Speedmaster though!

LOL at Breitling- they are the equivalent of a heavily blinged up cossie engine bay fucking ridiculous!

Cheers for the forum link and i'll have a nose there as i need to research my purchase.

Yeah seen the new sub but it's going over list too i think? List £4600 perhaps?

I'd like the deeap sea as perhaps a "step up", would that be a fair assumption?

I do like the GMT11 but prob go for the deep sea first.

So what is the actual daytona list?

I'd prefer to be the first owner of my first rolex

Travelling is no issue for the right purchase.

cheers

The Missus has a Gucci & a 50 year old gold watch valued over 1K no idea what its called. She tends to wear several cheaper fashion watches because they look better & it doesnt matter if they gets lost. Seems more crazy than modifying Cossies .
