Hello from London - I need some advice!

Hello Ladies and Gents,

I’ve just joined TRF and I’m interested in buying my first Rolex. I’m new to the watch world so forgive my naivety. Having had a look at some Rolex watches, I quite like the Cosmograph Daytona oystersteel.

Would like to get people’s opinion on choice and any advice around waiting times etc.

Thanks

Stephen

Stephen you have a choice ........ buy now from a grey at a premium, or wait so long that the premium you paid will look cheap!

Cheers for the response. When you say from a “grey” - what do you mean?

A reseller. Go to Hatton Garden, every shop has at least 2. Unfortunately you have to pay a premium.

Welcome The Daytona is definitely going to be a Rolex you will have to go Grey for and, if you wait for one from a AD your hair will probably go grey before you even get on the list!
