I'm looking to purchase a new Rolex piece from a trusted seller.

Options are:

1. Like new with stickers but from 2018.

2. Card from March 2020 but no stickers in excellent condition with tiny marks.

Price is the same for both watches.

So Longer warranty card or stickers (ie. no use)?

Please use the poll above. Thanks!

#1 is $100 more or less?

Do they both have complete links inner out box etc.?

2018

Would depend on the "tiny marks" for me. Hate to give a non-answer, but let's be real about ourselves here. We obsess over the minutia.

sp006 · 30 April 2020, 12:01 PM

Are you going to wear it or sell it? 2020 if you plan to keep it since you’ll have full warranty before costs are yours.

Cost is the same. #1 seller agreed to match #2 price.

Jim: Couple of very small "insect bite" marks on the side of the case. Hard to see even on the magnified pictures.

subtona · 30 April 2020, 12:10 PM

If it’s a keeper I would prefer the marks to be mine.

N2theCAPE · 30 April 2020, 12:21 PM

Buy the new one with stickers

In that case, I'd probably go with the extra two years of warranty. If the marks are hard to see even under magnification... that's very minor.

On the other hand, they might always bother me. I like what someone above said about preferring to know that any marks are from you if it's to be a keeper.

So my final answer is... I'd save more money until I could afford a brand new one with full warranty and no marks

That is the sensible answer. The savings are $1k over MSRP so I'm ok with one of these two watches.

MattyIce3285 · 30 April 2020, 01:14 PM

The 2020 for sure for the extra warranty.

If you are going to wear it, that unworn 2018 will look like the 2020 in a few days anyway.

Rocco21 · 30 April 2020, 01:16 PM

Older brand new in box,I just prefer to be the only one to wear it and I hate scratches haha.

I wore a daytona 116520 for at least a year as my daily and it didn’t have a scratch on it. I'm anal about scratches.Wish I wasn’t but it’s me.

In that case, I stick by my original choice of the 2020. Though I do still think that an extra $1k is worth it on a keeper piece.

rodo · 30 April 2020, 01:34 PM

What watch is it? Probably #1

911Daytona · 30 April 2020, 01:34 PM

BNIB or nothing

I don't know how you wore that watch but i guess good job lol. I doubt it didn't have a scratch as any polished sides easily and I mean easily get scratches.

OP go with 2018 new unless you want that "peace of mind" warranty although it is a Rolex

Personally once I wear a watch it gets scratches and I'm cool with that. So I'd choose the one with a longer warranty. If you have a preference with it being boxfresh then perhaps the older one.

It's difficult not to scratch a polished watch worn every day if you act normally.
