AD felt sorry for me 😞
Checked in with my AD yesterday, chatting casually about the situation, and trying to find a way to get hold of my final missing watch, the Pepsi, and apparently he eventually felt sorry for me, and kinda reluctantly offered to put my name on the James Cameron waiting list ( expected within a couple of months ) as a sort of compensation for not being able to offer me anything else.
Strange thing is, I’m not sure if I like it or not, currently I own a black sky dweller, a polar, a Batman, and a Wimbledon WG bezel on oyster so I guess the deep sea is not a bad addition, given that the dial color is amazing, but that’s about all I like in the watch. Oddly enough I explained that to my AD, his response was once it arrives, if I don’t want it it’s no problem, but he did suggest that I should take it nevertheless since it’s never going to loose value. Any owners of the James Cameron our there care to share their opinion? should I buy it and see if I like it, and if I don’t and try to sell it does it tend to loose value? MSRP is around 13,200 US$ |

Felt sorry for you by selling you a $4k more expensive watch you didn’t ask for...priceless!

On the other hand I do love my JC DSSD but I specifically asked for this. It doesn't seem that you would like this as much as I do based on your expression of enthusiasm (or lack thereof). |

I would only buy a Rolex if I had the "I have to have it" feeling towards.

I have the JC and love it! IMHO you should buy it if you like it. If you don't, leave it for someone who wants it to buy it at MSRP.

Why you are even considering a DSSD ? You are not going to like it from what I read. Would be a silly purchase imho

As others have said, buy if it is the watch you want, if not leave it and wait for the watch you really want.

Buy if you love it , it is huge. I have blue sky but tried jc on and I was like wow and not in a good way. Great looking watch but you need to have wrist size to wear it comfortably.

My wife has a saying when she is buying clothes that I have adopted for when I’m buying watches..........
“If it’s not a Hell yea, it’s a no”

You should have taken it. Blackbay 41 or GMT is a very nice watch. A year from now we will all forget about the mythical Rolex unobtainium sportwatch and will be bitching about the lack of Tudor availability and 20% Grey Marget markups. |

Don't buy a watch you don't want, just because it probably won't lose value. For all you know the bottom could fall out of the Rolex market tomorrow and then you will be stuck with it.

I dont think ADs feel sorry for anyone. If you love it yes. If 'any' doubt pass.

Depending on your watch taste you may actually prefer the JC. It a boss piece.
