Congratulations on a fantastic piece. Enjoy it and forget about the price you paid. Life is short and we all deserve what our hearts desire.

Thanks for sharing

congratulations- enjoy in good health

Congratulations!! They are a beautiful combo. You mentioned that there was an appraisal for insurance purposes. If coverage was extended was it for the retail price from an AD, the price you paid or an "agreed value" amount?

[Dr H A]

Very nice !
I am fully in favor of buying it unworn new piece from
Grey
Doesn’t make sense to waste more money and time with AD in the long run
Plus this particular model will hold value extremely well

Congrats OP!! Beautiful and wonderful addition, looks amazing, you have great taste with those two pieces there

Everyone laments the grey market price when it comes to buying preowned, but then rejoices when they want to sell.

Serious question coming from someone that used to own both the white and black dials. To me these are worth nowhere near the $38k you would have had to pay. You should have just went White Gold.

Why, is the $500 melt-value of the white gold watch suddenly worth the $38k?? Is it possible that the stainless steel is a better metal, more durable, less soft, and looks just as good?? Could it be that oysterflex strap simply doesn't look or feel as premium. Mind-boggling that the PM piece goes to the customer on a rubber strap and there's no option to replace it with an actual bracelet.

This. My biggest knock against the PM models on oysterflex. If I’m paying PM prices I want a full PM watch, not half.

Classless as usual

Congrats OP, looks awesome!

[adrew488]

To the OP. Funny I bought the same watch dated 2021 for my sons birth year. It’s much easier buying a modern birth year for someone else than buying one for myself. I’m happy with it, and glad you are.

[Dr H A]

U did the right thing
No need to waste time and money with AD anymore

[Frank McKay]

The heart wants what it wants. Wear it unapologetically my friend. Congratulations on the most coveted steel Rolex in the world,
If not of all brands.

I tend to agree with this. I had a YG Daytona on leather strap but kept eyeing PM Daytona’s on YG Oyster bracelets until I decided to buy mine anyway which at that time in 2000 was substantially more money.

[fatderek]

Perfect combo.....congrats.

[HogwldFLTR]

Terrific watch; congratulations!!! It's my favorite movement that Rolex makes!!!

Exactly how i feel as well. Feels like the oysterflex is just another way for Rolex to rip u off.

[Rashid.bk]

Badass awesome pair and congrats.

Also, white gold was too far above my budget for a wrist watch (by about $10-14K), so the steel was the move. I also thought about an AP RO, but again, my dial preference was out of my wrist watch budget.

Classy reply to a tactless post.

Congratulations OP, it’s a beautiful piece and it’s yours to enjoy. At least until you give it your son.

Agree, perfect Rolex combo. No need for a Sub or any other iteration. Totally worth it I would say. Congrats.

[Sglass]

Great combo, congrats. Kudos to you for admitting you went grey, rather than just dropping the ‘incoming’ post. It’s the new reality for most of us!

[1William]

Congratulations.

[Savwar]

The amazing duo, hot!

[TimepieceRPP]

[richard371]

Congrats. I was wondering what happened to the 39,800 one he sold. :).

[BNA/LION]

Congratulations and Enjoy!

[Nephro]

Congrats! Fantastic and iconic piece.

Couldn't one just as easily say that charging you $9,000 extra for only the gold bracelet links is just another way to rip you off? The OF models already come with the gold clasp.

I think he is jealous he can’t swing it himself.

Congrats OP gold you got the watch you wanted. Why wait if you don’t have too? You never know who will take off your boots.

Enjoy it!

Screw the AD's. If this guy had bought 4 ladies DJ and 2 Cellini and spent more money overall with all the losses from resales people would be patting him on the back for "playing the game".
Play the game right-get your watch tomorrow morning.

Congratulations.
