What’s your 2023 goal for Rolex?

Do you have a Rolex plan for 2023? Buy, sell, different rotation, service, restore, etc.?

My goal is to observe. I’m now a spectator because prices both MSRP and grey market have become ridiculous.

Observe and enjoy my existing collection.

Happy New Year!

Nothing I’m fussed about now other than the daydate which I won’t be buying.

Not in a bitter way but I plan to look elsewhere and get myself some cool pieces, the world of horology is a big old place.

First port of call a dress style GMT piece, then a dress style chrono. Honestly have no desire for the ‘hot’ rolex pieces such as the daytona & submariner.

If you're looking for a dress style GMT, I'd highly recommend the Grand Seiko SBGM221. It's an absolutely gorgeous watch and is incredible value.

The picture below is not mine.

To continue my quest from 2022 - BLNR on jubilee. Something tells me I’ll have the same to add to the comments in 2024. :)

That’s great thank you taking the time to reply Ink will check it out but something along those lines is exactly what I’m looking for.

I hear it might be the year of the Daytona for me. That’s my only goal. I do have a pretty cool BB58 coming through work, they did a custom dial for us, really excited about that.

No Rolex goals other than to watch the market, having acquired both a Rolex and a Tudor this year. My next and hopefully final Rolex will be a platinum DD40 but I'm about 3 years out from that.

Between my wife and I we have three Breitlings that need serviced, so that's on my agenda for the spring.

To get a GMT of some flavor. Original delivery date from my SA was March of 2023. Hoping for a 126710BLRO but would settle for a BLNR too. I would prefer on an Oyster but my SA said he doesn’t have a lot of say when it comes to bracelet style. Fingers crossed!

This is the year I add this one. It’s to mark a pretty significant milestone with my business I have been busting my a** the last 4 years towards

Also plan on adding a Pelagos 39 just because

I was just about to say, this year I want to add the first fully-PM piece to my collection, and right now, I'm strongly leaning in the direction of the gorgeous 126715CHNR rootbeer

Hoping on a meteorite Daytona to complete my trio of white gold meteorite dials. Then trim down my Rolexes and add some patek - well the latter is more a process over the next few years.

An Explorer from the AD would be nice. Coming up to a year and a few months now since registering interest.
