Jay - get the one in the best condition is my advice. Personally I prefer no holes but holes and sel is a fave of many. I let a stick dial go once. My current 2005 will never go anywhere.

WF have a 2002 with holes. As ever a bit pricey.

Thanks Steve,,
Yes seen those at WF ,, very nice full sets, 2 models without holes but a lot of money,,
I have seen much cheaper but no papers and reputable sellers,,
I think it’s grab one of these before they become unreachable for me ,,
A couple will have to go out to allow this one in,, worth it I imagine though,,
Cheers Steve

I think so mate. Try wf. They will sometimes knock a few percent off (I got 12 off my 16710), and they are generally good stock as you know.

Let us know what you get. All I know is this (for me) is the best watch Rolex ever made. Well worth the premium in comparison to the newer stuff. (Again, IMO only)

I keep you posted Steve,,
Amazing to thing a lovely piece with a full set is around the same mrsp price for a chnr,,

Yes, in many ways it’s crazy. However, I just can’t really get on with modern Rolex cases (Daytona aside), and I’m fairly sure I’m not alone. That would make the 5 digits the Rolex of choice for many so with a demand like that I get why they are priced similar to their newer siblings.

Yes,,
I for one went “ round the houses” with other newer models like a blnr, Dj2 when I realised 36-40mm is the sweet spot and any sports watches will need to be five digit,,,
my personal choice and I would like to see the blnr on a jubilee but not to own another at this time,,
