No Dan I wasnt trolling, and if you had a submariner, as I inquired over private message, I might have bought it from you.

Anyhow, my wife has a black on black rolex and she wants us to match for a NYE party we are going to. The Daytona distracted me but I do now need to get a submariner. A local rolex watch guy, revered in the city, appears to have a great collection of watches. The place where I got the used Daytona recommended him. They gave me his number (dont ask me any questions about him. Hes got a sterling reputation and is about 75 and is a authorized repair person).

He has a 1989 Sub and sent me photos. The bezel is scratched but I like it. It has character. What do you think:

Please tell us about that Daytona. Never seen a dial like that. Will you be returning it now that you’ve found a Sub that you want?

Why not ask any questions about him? This revered 75 year old guy, aka. WatchRapport, is a company that has anything far from a "sterling reputation".

Oh, and how do I know it's the same guy? Here you go:

Thats not even the guy Im dealing with! Youve gone out of your way dedicate time and research and ASSUME thats the guy Im dealing with, and its not.

I have no idea what goes on in ppls lives to make them SO angry and so enticed to conflict. This is ridiculous.


As a happy person with a great career, 2 kids and in a happy marriage, I cannot comprehend how ppl just lash out and assume and post things like you just have. Its absolutely astounding. I wont respond again.

Thanks for your thoughts.

it is what it is

Let me explain. Members don't like it when new people come onto the forum, ask for help, receive generous help freely given, and then get caught telling blatant falsehoods, repeatedly.

Well, that IS the watch you've posted pictures of, so explain how the exact same watch is being sold by two reputable dealers. And dedicating time and research was all of 60 seconds.

Now, about this Daytona you paid thousands of dollars for, without doing any research, posted a picture of, clearly for our benefit, and yet you refuse to talk about...
