Rolex Datejust - Welcome Back
I had sold this watch earlier this year.
Big mistake - I bought it back from the guy who I sold it to. Now it will be a long term keeper! |

It's a beauty!
Why did you sell it in the first place? |

This is exactly why I did not sell my Explorer. Deep down I knew I would regret it and either end up buying it back or buying another.

Nice watch - the roulette date really suits it too! A case of absence makes the heart grow fonder.

You can never go wrong with a DJ, specially when you get to have the one that got away

Thx for all the replies.
To answer some questions. Model is 116200, Value on the used market is around $3000-$3300. When I originally sold it, my collection had grown too large and something needed to go. I should not have let this one go in the first place. My wrist is small (6.25 inches) and the Datejust is a perfect fit. I like it so much I may add another one in the future (the blue dial looks good to me). The datejust joins my 16610 and Explorer 2 white as permanent watches. I too have bought sold and rebought watches before. 2 White daytonas and 2White Milgausses. It is possible that a Daytona white will be in my future again. We will see how stock trading goes - LOL. |
