At retail? Probably a 5711 or if you could still buy one a Pam672.

If I'm spending 35k, it's not going to have Rolex on the dial, sorry.

Sorry, at 35k this opens up a whole new set of high horology watch brands that are better than Rolex.

So none for me too.

PP Aquanaut till I saw your Rolex only stipulation. With that in mind either a yellow gold green dial GMT or a rose gold CHNR.

Tough call between a YG or RG DD40 and YG gold sub (probably blue) for me. I have a TT DJ 41, so I guess maybe the gold sub.

Where can you get this timepiece at $35K, I think it will cost more than $40K for brand new one at msrp+tax.

To each their own but why spend $40k on a watch that will have the same movement in their much cheaper SS versions? Makes no sense to me.

Buy a PP, VC or IWC for that money.

Agreed with a lot of others on this. At 35k there’s better options than Rolex. Which is why I never understood the Daytona at its grey price. At 12-13k Daytona is amazing. At 25k...not so much
