Greetings! I'm new and making my first purchase. Opinions please.
Hi! I recently joined as I am making my first Rolex purchase ( SS Daytona white face from AD) tomorrow. I normally wear larger watches (Panerai, Breitling) but have always wanted a Daytona. I happened to walk into an AD and they had one available in the safe. They are holding it for me. This is a G series watch. Is a random series number more desirable or is there any difference?

The serial doesn't affect any desirability at all for this particular model. Welcome abroad (nice first post anyway
 ). Congrats for your first Rollie and wear it in good health! Remember to keep us update with a wristshot!

The black is nice but my Pam 220 is black dial and my Bentley Motors is copper dial. Time to lighten it up.

These questions are just to support some points raised on another thread, re. the availability of the Daytona in certain parts of the world.

Beautiful watch, it goes with any occasion.
Take it if it's good deal; no difference regardless it's G or random series. Daytona is next on my list. |
