Haha either consolidate or trade for gold pieces from here on out

Will be quite cool when I become older (30 years from now) and trade two of the steel sports (p and a serial, 50 years vintage watch) for one full Yellow gold submariner.


When I’m 60, it Will likely end up being the DJ, ceramic gmt and a yellow gold sub (trade in with “vintage” five digit polar and sea dweller 30 years from now)

Blue or black dial?


Minus the hollow center links jubilee and thin stamp clasp (ie; entire bracelet), I can see why it’s the best value proposition at this moment.

usd 7.5k brand new versus usd 3.3k preowned five digit

40% of the full brand new msrp (vs a sub or gmt old model trading higher than the latest model)

I have three sports pieces and i feel that if I’m gonna add the final piece in today’s market, it has to be the classics lineup :)

The second best is the 116234, love the hidden clasp design.

The jubilee flows Throughout the bracelet and solid center links

We agree. It's somewhere between old and modern. With the classic design but with the 3135 movement and sapphire
