Which NEW Rolex can you buy with $6000?
I feel like buying a NEW Rolex.

I don't want to spend too much, but I want it BRAND NEW...

Any suggestions?

Under 6K you have many options. Datejust (steel/white gold bezel), Explorers, Milgauss, and maybe a GMT IIc

For $6000 you could also get a new in box (2009) 16610 sub and have some cash left over.

Nothing smaller than a 36mm, but not bigger than a 40mm.

Black or White dial, Cyclops are welcome, not a must have!

Basically and everyday watch, but at the same time and evening one!

My friends, as you can see, I'm a little bit "everywhere" on this...

To our friends in the U.K.------if a US citizen goes into an AD in the U.K., do you pay the tax & collect it when you leave???? Or does the AD check "your papers" & take the 17.5% off the top????

Yes, I guess I'm having... "The Second Rolex Itch"!

Hope this one has an "antihistamine effect" at the same time...

Just go to your local AD and you will find your choice there.
With luck you'll get a discount.
Good Luck

My thoughts.....

Buy a nearly new one here on TRF.

$6k would put plenty of nice models in striking distance.

GMT IIC, Lightly used YM, lightly used DSSD, or a 16750 with Pepsi bezel, and B & P.

BNIB I would get a II-C, GV, or maybe an Explorer II and keep the change for the next hunt.

If you search hard/ask a trusted seller to find one, you can get a BNIB GMT II Pepsi/Coke for under $6k.
