Team,

I've done some research, but I'm opening a thread on it anyways to have folks weigh in: we just spent $11,XXX on a brand new black dial G series Daytona. I'm having concerns I didn't buy a random serial # instead. I'd love for anyone to weigh in with an opinion.

Thanks team!

Ebruner · 21 December 2011, 01:24 PM

Makes no difference, the watch is the same and both are brand new.

As above.......Both are the same watch!

Enjoy the new Daytona!

collegeparkrolex · 21 December 2011, 01:33 PM

Relax and welcome to the club!

HL65 · 21 December 2011, 01:52 PM

Enjoy and as said above makes no difference at all. Rolex still shipping G series as well not that it matters. Congrats!

Speed · 21 December 2011, 02:05 PM

G series are known to run 2 minutes slow.

I just bought a V serial Daytona four weeks ago for $11,XXX no concerns.

Congrats, just wear and enjoy.

victorious.legion · 21 December 2011, 02:16 PM

i love this forum -- such great manners and encouragement!

Cabaiguan · 21 December 2011, 11:46 PM

My BNIB Daytona is also a G. No sweat, a few serials can ship new simultaneously. Enjoy the watch!

Miamipawnsab · 7 March 2013, 07:21 AM

I'm going to check one out for 9xxx

nick c · 7 March 2013, 07:46 AM

Welcome and congrats

SWISSAHOLICS · 7 March 2013, 07:51 AM

Yup, you just got screwed.....G serials are discontinued for a reason.....and you fell for it.

Enjoy....it's a gorgeous timepiece....and no difference

Spartan · 7 March 2013, 07:51 AM

Its just psychological, at least for me! I would prefer a scrambled SN than a G. Having said that, I bought a DJ2 last month with a G serial; just fine with me

Solo118 · 7 March 2013, 07:52 AM

Just got a new watch with V serial. Could not care less, its all in your head. It doesnt matter if you have a V,G or random. The only thing that would matter if its a new model such as getting a 16610 vs a 116610

DJJon · 7 March 2013, 08:09 AM

Remember the G Serial is still current and is run concurrently with the Randoms.

Both are very much brand new.

No worries. enjoy and relax and as Mr. Speed said above, fugeddaboutit.

T. Ferguson · 7 March 2013, 08:36 AM

G or Random, it doesn't matter unless you want to flip it, in which case it still doesn't matter.

Enjoy your new watch!

porschejeff · 7 March 2013, 08:42 AM

If you're going to wear it and keep it, then no worries. If you're going to flip it soon, it may have some impact on the future trade value/ sales price.

nauticajoe · 7 March 2013, 08:46 AM

No difference at all. Enjoy it!

Jeff, why would this be since both serials are running concurrently? Even if Rolex stops producing the G's at some point in the future, why would a G bought today be worth less than a random bought today? I'm not sure I understand this.

Thanks.

Your mistaken. The G serial is running along with the Random currently. If you ordered a watch from your AD today and waited a month or 2 for delivery it would be a coin flip if you received a G or a Random

Why would you have concerns ???

It's a serial number.... nothing more - Every single watch has a serial number that is unique to itself, so every one is just as rare as the other...

What could you possibly envision that would be "different" between them except that unique number..

waynefoto · 7 March 2013, 11:39 AM

Has anyone else besides Speed heard that the G serial number runs 2 minutes slow or something similar?

Thanks, made me wonder for a second...

mmmk604 · 7 March 2013, 12:28 PM

There's no "series" in Rolex watches.

They are just serial numbers to identify a watch, similar to a VIN number to a vehicle.

brkanand · 7 March 2013, 12:36 PM

A very good choice. My V Daytona says hi. Congrats and enjoy wearing (and keeping on looking at it! haha!!)
