I would have thought that was a very good deal, plenty of guys on this forum like that watch.
![]() ![]() ![]() Go for it if it is the one you really want and are keeping it. But if you are buying only because it seems a good deal wait until you see the one you really want |

Forget the resale value unless that is why you are purchasing it.
Buy what you love and you will not be unhappy with it regardless of what others say. Ain't that right JJ?!

There is a large supply of this watch on the pre-owned market.
Dealers are selling them for as low as £3200 and private sellers are going below £3k. Based on that, I would get this watch on the used market, even though that is a fantastic deal if it is the latest serial numbers. |

According to my AD, it is the M Serial with the RolexRolex engraving in the chapter ring.

That's a great deal.
![]() My first two YM's were new & took a loss on both. ![]() Third one I bought pre owned. It all depends on whether you believe it's going to be a keeper. But Rolex will always be bringing out new models to tempt you & if you have to get rid of one of your collection... ![]() Tell the seller £3900 sounds better!

If that's the watch you want then I say go for it! However, if you're just interested because of the discount then hold off.

Don't let anyone here influence your decision. It's your money, it's a beautiful watch, if it's what you want go for it. If resale is a factor just keep your money in the bank.

If you want to buy the watch to wear and to keep, and you love it, buy it. I never thought about resale because I'm planning on keeping mine.

im not really overly keen on the ym, even if they discounted it by 50%... it would still be a waste of money for a watch i dont like...
