Which one would you pick?
You know there are times when you get that Rolex itch....and then it turns into an urge....that turns into an insatiable hunger?
Well, I am there, right now! I thought my Rolex buying days were numbered since I have way too many now but I am back in upstate New York for the holiday break (I leave the paradise of the DR during this insane semana santa). And I just visited my favorite retail store, my Rolex AD. I went there to try on the new DJII. Never really handled one. Put the S/18KYG champagne dial on....too big for my wrist but very impressive. And then I thought, I truly always wanted a Bluesy (got a Sub LV). So I tried on a M series 16613360. Loved it. My AD went in the back and pulled out the new Bluesy, 116613360. WOW! It is a killer. Blows away the classic model. And to further complicate things, out comes a black SS Daytona(got a S/G Zenith Daytona). HELP!!! What would you do? |

Is your Zenith a white dial?

I was going to say don't go with the Daytona if you already had a black dial Zenith. The new movement is awesome, totally Rolex, but you never really SEE it. Try both on, sleep on it, and buy tomorrow, sleep agiain, and post pictures!

I always referred to them as blue/blue sub. And my AD does not care what I call it. He is just ecstatic that I am in his store and thinking about buying a new Rolex. OK? |

Interesting Dilemma...I was in the same spot not long ago..I went to see the new Ceramic Blue TT Sub...I did not care for the color of the blue at all so I went out and got the M serial number TT Blue Sub...Now on the White gold blue sub I think the ceramic blue it is EXQUISITE...But at 3x the cost. I have a SS white face Daytona, A TT M serial Blue Sub, A TT Datejust 2 with the green roman numerals and black face and a traditional Datejust TT with Jubilee. I am looking at the new sub and new GMT...I am still drooling over the white gold sub
ALSO WHERE IN UPSTATE??? I am in Albany |

Went back for a second look today at my choices.
DJII is out. SS Daytona is out. New sub or traditional? If I get a great deal on the new s/yg sub, like 25% off, no tax, I could then go and buy a used blue sub. Love the feel and engineering of the new. All gold sub too rich for me right now. Lucky these folks are real patient with me and let me sit and try them on with an ice cold Coke on the side. I visit a friend who lives near Ithaca, right on the lake. Pretty serene today when it was like a glorious summer day.....clear blue sky and a warm breeze. Not typical April 2 weather here. |

I'd get the new TT blue ceramic sub. The more I see it and the more I try it on, the more I like it.
