Offer $45k.
PS: No Day-Date and no Daytona are a huge hole in that collection. PPS: Good on them for trying to offload a DJ diamond dial for top dollar LOL

Well I'll be... The box had better be able to make me breakfasts beside holding watches, because it costs almost $19K.

I can sort of see what they're trying to do. But as a customer, I'd rather see one of those DJs or GMTs substituted with a Sub.

Amusing.
Two DJ's and three GMT's, where's the variety? A DJ, day-date, Daytona, sub and a GMT that would make more sense. Hang on, that's my ideal collection. |

Afraid to say I've none from the box. Maybe there needs to be a Rolex "Ender" box. Where was this, BTW?

A ‘starter box’! That’s brilliant.

That is quite the marketing tactic and they really could be on to something...
I think they should redo this "starter box" and THEN offer different boxes with some themes going on. (-) The "Starter Box" with a Sub C, Daytona C, BLNR, DJ, and OP 39. (-) The "Unwanted Box" with a Milgauss, Black Dial Explorer II, AirKing, YachtMaster, and Cellini (-) The "I Own the List Box" with a Daytona C white and black, BLRO, LV, and Sky Dweller (-) The "Two Tone City Box" with the CHNR, Bluesy, DJ, Daytona steel and YG, and YM Everose |

Bloomin' heck! Wot a 'start', that is.
A little disapointed, it's not a nice, Swiss, Reuge, musical box. What do we think the tune could be? Answers on the back of a Ł50 note, to my home address please. |

They’ll be lucky if they get $55/60k...
A diver should’ve been in the mix instead of the diamond dial dj... IMO A SS Sub/Date Sub or LVC... Nice package though , not the price... |

It says a la carte pricing on individual pieces upon request. You should have asked the price on just the GMT Pepsi and the price for the box respectively.
