My AD helped me sell my D serial SS daytona and I have ~$10K credit with him. I need your help. I am wide open to all suggestions as long as they are Rolex. I can do +$2k at the most. I just got a new toy (my recent purchase of Orient Mako black a stunning watch) so I will take my time to decide how I want to spend the 10k credit for a Rolex. Any suggestions welcome

Btw my initial though was to buy a brand new SS daytona white.

Have a great weekend!

moviefreak · 21 March 2010, 09:32 AM

I am guessing the answer is going to be the one for 9,925 usd or a V series SD or the New Sub..

GerardoG · 21 March 2010, 10:32 AM

While the white daytona is a beauty, I would try different models and see which one YOU like. One will "sing" to you.....that's the one

CoopJr · 21 March 2010, 01:19 PM

I would say a TT ceramic Sub. I had one of these on a few weeks ago and it felt like a pound of silk on my wrist. A really impressive watch.

bodybump · 21 March 2010, 01:26 PM

well since you got rid of the daytona and you want to add plus $2k i think the daytona is the only watch that i can think of that will be in that price..unless you want to buy 2 Rolex or one with a diamonds on it..but make sure you dont buy it at Retail price...

sakuraba · 21 March 2010, 01:35 PM

I would go to an AD and try all of them and choose the one you can't let go of! $10k covers all the SS models.

robbonds · 21 March 2010, 11:32 PM

daytona, GMT c or ceramic sub

Gerardus · 22 March 2010, 12:00 AM

Order the new sub.

gone-rolex-mad · 22 March 2010, 12:48 AM

I'd have kept the daytona!

jnmarshall · 22 March 2010, 12:55 AM

I'd buy a Daytona. Oh wait, you just got rid of one

Thanks all for your advice

I think I will go to the AD to try few on and take my time to decide. Whatever I get is going to stay with me for a while.

dannyp · 22 March 2010, 04:00 AM

If it were me, I'd probably buy two, and go with one of these combos:

Exp. II black or Sub ND and SS DJ, Jubilee, silver or white dial (if your AD is one of the few with some NOS DJs/AKs from before the new cases/bracelets, I'd do one of those)

Sub ND and Exp. II white dial

Exp. I and Exp. II white dial

Exp. II black dial and something nice for the wife/husband/gf/bf/partner/other type of SO (if applicable)

ESKO · 22 March 2010, 04:07 AM

A used Yellow Gold Day Date!!!

I'd also seriously consider a black Exp. II and a white TOG on either Oyster or Jubilee. I'm guessing this combo could be had for $10k.

Prince Tudor · 22 March 2010, 08:55 AM

I'd go for an EXPII, black dial and maybe a 14060M. Are you willing to consider and does your AD carry Tudor?
Why not get one Rolex and the new Tudor Heritage.

superb · 22 March 2010, 01:09 PM

16610LV and 14060M should be right around 10k i think.

NYC6 · 22 March 2010, 01:58 PM

Saying I have 10K + 2K to spend, which Watch should I buy seems an odd way to approach a purchase. If you dont know what you want maybe you shouls pocket the cash until you know what you want.

If it were me it would be a DJII TT white face, stick markers.

TABACCO · 22 March 2010, 03:24 PM

for that kind of amount,go with gold

Changmaisausage · 22 March 2010, 03:31 PM

DJII and a nice used EPII
