Hi,

I'm new in the forum and to tell you the truth I'm not in the watches world even that I'm the owner of a great Blue Submariner.

The thing is that my wife likes the new Datejust for women (I think that it is the 28 mm) with diamonds (I've attached a photo, this is with dark dial but she likes either this o the motherpearl one)

Could you give me an advise where is the best/cheapest place to get one of this?

Thank you very mach for all your recomendations

Carlos

I have been considering getting a midsize datejust for my woman (31mm). The ladies size is 26mm and she thinks it's too small.

I have to tell you after looking around, these "little" Rolex's do not hold their value like the 40mm SS sports models.
Seems the gold and diamonds make the gap between MSRP and resale even bigger.

The one she really wants is MSRP $10,250 - and I have found it used for $5k.
guess where I'm buying when I'm ready?

do your research so you don't get burned, there are some great sellers on TRF and of course the other forums and eBay.

My wife has a 26mm and it is a tad small but looks stunning.
Look on here for a great deal. You will find it!

IMHO, TRF is one of the very best places to find a good deal on any Rolex.

Welcome , Do have a Harley Man? I got a 2005 CVO Fatboy just wondering about riding in Spain, must be awesome.

Is that watch a 116244 with a bronze floral dial? If so, in the US you should be able to get it at 30% off or so from a the right dealer not sure about Spain...

Take care.

Hi Mike,

Nice conincidence.

Take a look at the picture.

Je je a 2005 CVO Fat.

And yes, you are correct about the model.

I have to tell you that the last four years I've been going to the USA for my Holydays and you have a really nice country ( I would not mind living there), but in the other hand Spain is very nice for bike riding, pleanty of diferent places to see with diferent weather conditions and at a distance of no more than 800 miles.

Thank you
Carlos

The best place is one of your local Rolex AD's, it may not be the cheapest way but it the best way.

InVision · 4 March 2010, 10:19 PM

Well Well .....

email me sometime at (harley-davidison "at" cox "dot" net) I can help you get your wife's watch. You do know that is a 36mm? Right?

Here is a photo and a video.

Now that is totally strange same bike and all....

Can you get another one of those horns? I just put a new Harley wheel on front, do you like it?

Mike

640Samuel · 4 March 2010, 10:22 PM

Wow, now that's a matching set and half!

InVision · 5 March 2010, 01:03 AM

Hey Carlos - I noticed I misspelled the my email - should be (harley-davidson "at" cox "dot" net), guess I was so surprised about the bikes, and was in a hurry.

Welcome to TRF! Try shopping with some of the many reputable folks on the forum.

Bullyterrier · 5 March 2010, 01:58 AM

Only problem getting a watch from the forum is that most sellers are from the USA, and if the op is importing to Spain then there is a considerable price increase with the tax!

shandy · 5 March 2010, 02:26 AM

I must admit that it does seem to be the US that has some of the best prices and discounts out there for Rolex and I would say point yourself in the direction of the esteemed fellows who sell on TRF. Everyone have purchased from the have had great dealings

Beautiful Bike BTW! Which part of Spain do you live in. I used to visit 7/8 times a year when I lived in the UK. I love the Costa Brava, especially Tossa de Mar

Yep, overlooked that when recommending TRF sellers.

I'm looking to buy a used or new MIDSIZE SS/WG ROLEX DATEJUST PINK DIAMOND DIAL.

NEW STYLE 2010 MIDSIZE WHITE GOLD BEZEL DATEJUST*178274

Can anyone pass this along and give me a recommendation?

HL65 · 3 October 2010, 05:18 AM

There are great sellers here on TRF but unfortunately you are probably not going to find that one on this or any other forum. As Mike said --it is one you should be able to get at for 30% off though at an AD.
