Which Rolex to take.

Can't take the TT Black Sub as it is in for service!

kcmo · 30 August 2009, 03:36 AM

The last option was just too tempting so I HAD to select it!!

I bet you can find SOMETHING to wear back!

Bisquitlips · 30 August 2009, 03:40 AM

But this one is on my radar also!

Bisquitlips · 30 August 2009, 03:41 AM

Or even this one!!

Bisquitlips · 30 August 2009, 03:43 AM

Oh what the heck. I should be able to find something here!!

Hmmm, I'm sure something will catch your eye!

esm · 30 August 2009, 03:49 AM

my vote is the last one but knowing you were hoping to get a DJII while you are in London - I would not like your chances. Hope I am wrong though.

The wife and I went to oxford street today for some shopping and I was trying to see if I could locate a watch I want today (not a rolex) so had different conversation with 3 main rolex AD today and non of them were able to provide a delivery period of DJII. Early to mid September is unlikely was the answer I got from them. One AD even suggested early October........

All 3 AD salesperson were quite knowledgeable about rolex but I do hope they see wrong this time. I'm very keen to see and try on any of the 41mm DJIIs before making up my mind.

The GMTII would be a nice alternative option though. .

Eric,

I am getting the same story everywhere. DJII will not be available around here until mid October if then. ....sigh....

If you're traveling, there's really only one way to go: GMT-II!

Karis,

You know when it comes to Rolexes you cannot be "good".

Christiaan · 30 August 2009, 04:09 AM

Maybe a NEW TT GMT II C ???

I believe that a member of our forum is selling that exact same watch and lives in the UK. If I had the cash available that would be my choice too, even though I'm not a big Daytona fan. I love that meteroite dial. Just stunning.

Christiaan · 30 August 2009, 04:27 AM

What about getting a SS and sourcing a meteorite dial? Cheaper...

I've seen the meteorite dial running at about 4k. Combined with the SS Daytona it's not that much cheaper than a preowned WG with meteorite dial. And I think the WG would add some nice heft to the watch.

onkyo · 30 August 2009, 04:42 AM

Since you put it there... the obvious answer is #4.

You could use some more stainless in your life Richard.

Armand · 30 August 2009, 04:44 AM

I voted for the TT black MOP YM, because I got the other two, and my next one might most probably have a black MOP dial --- eventually a TT YM!

( you gonna sell yours??? ;-))

Richard, at least there are a few white Exp2 available in central London at the moment, as well as various versions of WG Daytonas.
FYI - you will not be able to claim back VAT if you buy pre-owned watch

They are very expensive in the first place and so 20% discount is not that good!!

That was my vote, Richard. It's the only one to take when travelling IMO.

At today's exchange rate 1.63/GBP, #4 is not a very good option.
