Possible new addition

[drjrhc]

Completely agree.

That has what has caused me to hold off.

Even models from the “Casino Royale” and “QoS” periods have increased in price.

Interesting times. Lol.

I used to want to get a Sky-Dweller. But I will NOT pay the grey premium.

Rolex are playing some stupid games in my opinion. I think it’s nuts to pay 2-3 times retail for something that is a reads produced commodity. But this hobby is what it is.

That might be a good thing, Sky Dweller is the ugliest damn watch they ever made.



Besides its ugly sister, the fluted Datejust

Lol! Now see, you had me agreeing with you….

To be honest, there really isn’t any Rollie that makes me giddy. I have had several, and always sold them somewhat quickly.

Not true with Omega purchases. I’m just an Omega guy. Better in my pocket overall given today’s prices.

I can say the same about most of the Rolex's current offerings. I don't visit the Rolex sub anymore, here or anywhere else. Incomings, shenanigans, wrist rolls, AD relationships, got the calls....is too much for a bricklayer like me.

Yeah, mostly an Omega guy now, more choices and accurate/robust movement. Not to mention I never think twice about putting Omega on my wrist, not sure I can say that about Rolex.

[drjrhc]

Yeah. Especially with their prices in the current market.

I don’t like playing games, and as such would not make for a good “AD relationship builder” to get a Rolex.

I have a good relationship with my Omega AD, and trusted guys in here. That’s all I need.

Given the sporty nature of that watch I'd prefer the 41 but honestly both sized work fine for you.

[JakeK]

38 looks great plus the white dial makes it wear a bit larger than it really is.

[Cru Jones]

Both are fine on you.

If go white dial, I think the 38 is a perfect size for you regardless of whether it's meant as a "sporty" or "all-arounder" watch.

If a darker dial, then, as mentioned above, 38 or 41 depending on what style you prefer.

[JR16]

I like the size of the 38mm, but the minement of the 41mm.
