I didn't set the rules...

114300 here in Canada I can get brand new for $6300 all in from my AD! So a little under budget!

That's even better!

I'll be in Toronto coming Feb, at that price maybe I should pick up a white dial for myself! That would be another great pairing with my Explorer I other than my Polar.

Where in Canada are u located if I may ask?

I would be really really happy with the OP in white. Stunning. That said, this is what I got from my in-laws (now ex-in-laws) as a wedding gift. Consider yourself more than lucky.

I’m in Hamilton. That 6300 is my special price for buying 8 watches (mostly as gifts) since April!

That figures. The price you mentioned is unrealistically good

Hamilton, that's just out of Mississauga right?

I was in your boat earlier this year for my 30th... Got the OP 39 in white... Absolutely love it! It wasn't what I was going for... 126710BLRO (of course) is what I fell in love with... obviously that wasn't happening for a few years at least. I am very pleased with the OP, however. It is affordable, but sharp looking and I will cherish it forever!

I agree new.

But, there are a bunch of watches under 7k that I would much rather have than the OP. The Tudor GMT for one.

Whatever you buy I agree with your shortlist of timeless pieces. I got an amazing deal on a new non-Rolex for my wedding present to myself but found five years later I was wearing it less and less as my tastes changed. I traded it and have now traded the trade... buy something classic that you will wear. And congrats on the birthday/wedding!

Read the post and my vote is see what watch/color you want the most and try one of the trusted dealers on the site. You can save a ton of money and still have the warranty. Many of them are brand new with plastics in place. I have bought 4 watches that way and if I went to AD I will would have been only able to get one. That's just my take on it.
