Wristwatch lover from Tropical lands!

Hi guys,

Just to introduce myself:

I am a 35 year old brazilian guy who loves wrist watches. My collection is small so far, with Montblanc Chronometer Meisterstuk, Bvlgary Scuba, Victorinox, and others.

Iam a Rolex addicted since ever, and I´m setting myself ready to pull the trigger on either a Submariner or a Deepsea.

Im open to anyones opinion and tips to achive success on getting both a used one or even a new one at a good price (US, Europe etc) since they are pretty pricey here in Br.

Thank you

Welcome aboard! Either model is fine (I have both, love both). Try them on at an AD, then buy the one that sings to you.

Happy hunting!

Thank you very much guys!

Can anyone here tell me what is the street price for both a Submariner with date and a GMT II?

Not the suggested retail price provided by Rolex, but the one on the retailers.

Thanx so far

As the prices are a bit off of my budget, I ll have to go used ones.

Any suggestions around NY?

Thanx to everyone!
