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?

Downtown Boston, a prominent jeweler that carries a bunch of high-end brands (VC,AP etc) but is not a Rolex AD. They are pretty good guys actually

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.

Very cool. I like this but would sub out the the OP 39 for an Explorer 1 on list 1.

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.

How about the “AD” box, with 5 different varieties of DJ?

The AD box = 50 grand worth of massively marked up PM jewelry and a Pepsi at MSRP
