Long story short, was on a walk with my dog, and then decided to buy an explorer II, and a gift for my mother.

P.S. — got a high rating from mother, she likes the Diamond bezel more.

Is this a good deal on this?

Will be my first big purchase on a watch and wanting to make sure I do it right!

What questions should I ask the seller?

Thank you all 🙏

Help! Someone recently shared this config and I can’t get it out of my head but can’t find the post. It’s only been a week or two. TIA

I was trying on this datejust 41 but I am afraid it looks a bit too big for me

Just got this email from WoS reminding me of my Rolex ROI. Been on the list for about a year now, checking in regularly with the AD but no luck so far.

Curious if this is just an automated thing they send out periodically, or if it means anything? Has anyone else received this and if so, did a watch follow shortly after (or ever)?

Starting to wonder if these reminder emails are just their way of keeping you engaged without any real movement on the list. Would love to hear others’ experiences.

First Rolex and I love It. I didn't realize how flashy blingy it is lol It pairs nicely with my Tudor BB58

Hello.

First of all, I am new to this subreddit and I live in Istanbul. I work as a manager in the private aviation sector and I am addicted to Swiss watches. I bought my first Rolex ref14060M Submariner (2006) in 2017 and my second Rolex ref15223 Oyster Perpetual Date in 2025, but ofc from grey market. When I decided to buy a 116500ln on grey market, my girlfriend asked “why don't you buy it from a Rolex dealer”. We went to the Rolex Zorlu Center Istanbul store but they treated me quite insincerely and badly. Still, I registered the name for 126500ln (since 116500 retired) (knowing well it wouldn't arrive for years or maybe never). Then I said I should go and get in line for a watch that they really want to sell me, so I entered the Rolex boutique on Bağdat Street in Istanbul and there they wrote my name for the ref134300 blue dial oyster perpetual. AD was more friendly and warm

Frankly, my question to you is this, because I've been reading here for a while, most people buy their watches from boutiques; how can I improve my relationship with my ad and how can I start buying the watches I want from Rolex? As someone who tries to be a true collector and buys watches not to sell them, how can I leave a good reputation for boutique watches in this regard? And according to my ad, rolex only allow to write name for 1 sports 1 classic watch, but is there any chance that a watch I want or don't want will be offered to me in any boutique anywhere in the world? How does Rolex decide?

Thank you everyone.

I went to CD peacock in Oak Brook two weeks ago to drop off my Tudor for servicing that I bought from them. I inquired about a 36mm DJ Jubilee fluted Wimbledon dial and my AD laughed and said it will be at least 4 years for that watch. Mind you a purchased a Tudor from him before 2 years ago. In my research past few weeks it seems like that wait time is well over exaggerated, I’m going to inquire and join wait list at the two other AD in downtown Chicago, any datapoints on what wait time I could realistically expect for this configuration in this market ? Thanks !

Sky dweller two tone champagne on oyster bracelet… talk me in or out of it ?!?!

My sister in law bought her husband this sub and a Starbucks. He doesn't like this one.

She offered this unworn to me for $12.5k. It's obviously a classic but I already have Daytonas (TT and black dial SS), DJ blue dial, and GMT TT.

I'm on the fence..know I'm going to get some haterz but need advice - what would you do if you were in a similar situation please?

My 2021 submariner has been showing signs of low amplitude. My travel schedule was hectic for the last couple months and I was 4 days beyond the 5 year warranty window had expired when I sent it in. Long story short, even after my request for an exception and my AD advocating for me, RSC is holding firm and charging me for a full service. It is on me. Rules are rules. I missed the window, but I thought maybe they would cut me a little slack as a loyal customer with a few of their watches, two of which needed to be sent in for low amplitude.

Did I do the steering wheel pic right? 😭🤣

I don’t know if I’m about to suggest something completely blasphemous here, but… 😅
I own a 116713LN, and I’m really happy with it. At the same time, I can’t get the newer “Zombie” reference out of my head because of the two-tone Jubilee bracelet it comes with.
My long-term plan is probably to upgrade to the Zombie, but it also feels like a huge expense just to get the Jubilee bracelet (I know there are other differences between the two models) when I’m very happy with my 116713, and in some ways I actually prefer the all-black ceramic bezel.

So my question is: Is it possible to fit a two-tone Jubilee bracelet to a 116713LN? If so, which bracelet would fit? How much would it cost to source one, and are they even available?

Ignore the looks of the watch itself, I just tried both of these on for size.

Getting my son into the hobby early!

My wife got me this as a wedding gift almost a year ago, and it has made me fall in love with watches. I can’t wait to continue to add to my collection!

(It’s in desperate need of a service, but I love it all the same!)

It may not be the most complex or even the most sought after, but damn it feels right every time I look down.
