I got offered 110k-112k on mine, Twice by separate people.
I've only worn it about 4 times now

I think Rolex Gold / PT / Diamonds are just as popular as their SS lines.

They say Rolex is the gateway to Watch Collecting :P

Anyway I would like to add a diamond bezel to it I know you can do it which adds another 1-1.5K to it. Or would you suggest getting a 1990's datejust with a diamond dial. What I really like is a diamond dial blue Vignette with diamond bezel on it there was a guy selling one all the way down to $3K but now can't find anything. Also which one will hold its value. Will the tag go way down in the next 3 years if I tried to sell if it was in great condion compared to the almost 15 year old datejust?

I'd go for rolex for weekends/occasions
and look for a used Tag for daily work wear, that way the Rolex gets babied and the abuse goes to the Tag

for now till your collection grows, and yes your collection will grow.. It's a problem TRF causes, Spreads fast and nasty


I'd also stay away from Custom Diamond addons
Factory diamonds are far beyond better sparkle than any custom jeweler can do
They are cheap for a reason, I've explained it on here before , it'll be easier to google the info
