I Already Decide To Choose ND Over Bluesy!!!

Yep, sound so crazy I know. But I think blink is not my thing. I do LOVE Bluesy, but I think I choose a brand new Sub ND COSC M serial in around USD 4,239.- than a pre-owned Bluesy D serial in around USD 6,413.-.
And I decide to flip my Expy II D serial in around USD 3,043.-. I dunno is good or bad dicision to flip my Expy. But no flip it no new Sub ND. Please your advice and comments here Gentlemen. Thanks Guys!!!


Best Regards, TR.

P.S: Tomorrow I wanna call my AD and ask 'em to keep it. I wanna buy it as soon as possible. Thanks.

Personally I wouldn't trade in the explorer II. With all the makeovers could you even imagine what they have planned for an update to that model? I think they will comletely redo it making the current model worth holding on to.

Since you already own a SS sub i think you should choose a bluesy now.
Just my opinion

I think you made an excellent choice!

It's the last untouched Rolex!

I myself am very tempted at getting one.

If the economy settles here in the UK, I'm thinking of picking up a preloved 14060. You can get them here for about £1200-£1800. As Bo has said they are untouched and remain the classic Rolex. I'd probably buy one and keep it away until my boy is 18 or 21. I just get the feeling by 2028, the Sub as we know it now will no longer be available BNIB.

Hooray!!! I already deal with my AD. Nice!!! They give me a good price, around USD 4,206.-. From the retail price around USD 5,467.-. They give the discount 23%.
And I already sold my Expy II in around USD 3,043.-.
