New member intro

Hey TRF!

I came across this forum while browsing the web and decided to join as I am starting to collect Rolex's. I currently own a Datejust II Stainless Steel 41mm with arabic dial.

The next watch I am looking to purchase is a Stainless Steel Skydweller with Black face. I know these are extremely difficult to get at retail value, as I've try to shop in many different AD's and they're going for higher than retail.

Nonetheless, I do plan to purchase it in the coming months, even if I pay over retail ... just hoping the value maintains.

Anyway, looking forward to being more involved in discussions and continue learning about the brand and talking all things Rolex

Cheers,
Mike

Welcome Mike.

Have you considered a Rolesor Sky-Dweller 326933? (Two tone -Gold and Steel.)
You can get one with a black dial and they are not as difficult (!!!!!) to obtain as SS.
Both are going to be pricey - but one is obtainable during a normal human lifetime.

I obtained a white dial Rolesor one as opposed to waiting and waiting and possible never getting a SS. And I was not going to pay the absolutely insane Gray market prices to get one.

I have considered the two-tone, and I have a few buddies of mine who own them, but I am not a huge fan. I am either on SS or full gold kind of guy.

Even though, it seems the two-tone is the best bang for your buck...
