Help. Info on 116138

[Streetsideguy]

I am new to the board today and I see there is a lot of great info on here. I am interested in acquiring a Rolex 116138 with a black face, black leather band, and gold deployant clasp. I have seen one of these and think they are gorgeous. My dealer in KC has one with diamonds on the hours. Has anyone else seen these and what do you think?

I am planning on trading a Breitling Bentley in on this watch. I could also trade for a 2003 Rolex President with white face and roman numerals, all gold. Don't know what to do for sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to TRF! I would try both on, and decide which one you like best and would wear the most!

Thanks for the reply. The leather band and black face really look great together. Something different.

Whenever I see a Day Date on someone I think it is "too much". A bit over the top for some reason. Maybe that is just me. It is a gorgeous watch though. Since I will be trading my Breitling Bentley, I don't want to take to much of a hit in values.

The resale value of the Breitling will not be comparable to that of a Rolex, FYI.
