Your choice under $10k?
Hi guys,
Whats your Rolex choice under $10k? I’m interested to hear your opinions. Both how nice you think the watch is and if some are better then others in an investment point of view.

Personally im really in to vintage DJ, ex 1601, 16014, but also the Submariner No Date - i think its awesome!

Thanks for a great forum, glad to be a member here!

Br, from Sweden.

I’d go with 116610LN, 116710LN, or 16710.

The DJ41 w/fluted WG bezel will give you the vintage look w/ modern hardware. Lots of dial options too.

The 216570 Explorer II has been on my mind a lot lately. Simplistic with a white or black dial, but very clean looking for both formal/informal occasions.

Can't go wrong with a Submariner. It's what you want and historically they have done very well in holding their value.

I'd go with the BLNR - MSRP is under $10k. That's if you can find one.

If the sub isn’t an option, the explorer is pretty awesome.
