I decided to start a new sticky thread, to consolidate information so far for both online and offline options. In the case where a shop has a webpage, only their URL needs to be listed. Please add only the shopping info to this thread and not use it for discussion.

Add the shops that you trust. If you are unhappy with a shop for any reason, please take your unhappiness to another thread to keep this one clean. You are responsible for what you post.

If there appears to be enough happiness about one particular shop, the listing in this thread may be deleted at the discretion of the mods, in the interests of the community.

Hi,
You sound like a pro. may i ask you if you were to buy from a AD which one will you go to and why u chose this ad.
u can message me your ans if you dont want to disclose it.

thanks.

Demand and supply rude apply.

x2. The milgauss GV used to be very sought after a couple of years back, currently the demand kind of shifted towards other models. Bro, You should buy what you want to wear, who knows when the demand be back again.

Hi Triton

How/what is the value of 'Date Adjust' if let's say it was decorated with blink blink?
Cause for my info in the diamond jewellery business is that the first time you buy sure very ex.But when talk about trade-in value or resale value,there is? or there's none?Most people sure to do a 'grand slam' on the prices.So I need to find out first from rolex admins and experiences etc..?
Thanks Tri...

Gianni

[triton]

usually ladies will go for the DJ with diamond markers and/or diamond bezel. if not, can consider some of the sports models that comes with diamonds as well.

Hi all.
I'm looking to purchase a pair of rolexes for my parents in their 60s.
Not looking at high-end or bling bling models.
Something basic and need not be too new a model or pricey.
What should I be looking at? Price range? Thanks.

Hi sidewalker,

There are few private dealers here who may have what you want. One of them is AMG (nickname here). His watches are mostly pre-own ROLEX watches, and I see that his assortment is not bad. Price wise you can discuss with him. I have never dealt with him so can't really advise.

Happy shopping!

[commoner]

probably datejust,,,,,and cost 6k+ each for new,,,, his and hers,,,,,,, for a couple of thousand more each, throw in a diamond dial?

better go to rolex AD and ask better,,,,
