Any Rolex resolutions for this upcoming year?

Personally, I am hoping to only buy at most 2 Rolex watches this year. That means no flipping, but two straight up purchases.

DJ41 if it comes in SS. And a white DC if I happen to get that call.

Anything for you guys/gals?

Haaahhjaaaaa. Yeah. Can't fault you there.

And can not wait to hear about the new wheels!!!

SC11 · 4 January 2017, 05:53 AM

Basel may open a can of worms but currently my target is set on the 116500 black, that should be it while saving for a DD40 obviously if a DJ41 in SS is released plans more then likely will change

RichM · 4 January 2017, 05:54 AM

Not when it comes to watches.

Seth, stay out of car dealerships.

Goal is to buy 0 watches until 2018. I may need to avoid this forum to make that goal happen...

rmlovett1 · 4 January 2017, 05:22 AM

Not very specific, but for 2017, slow waaaaay down on the watch buying, trading, etc...

droptopman · 4 January 2017, 05:27 AM

All over the place with watches lately. Have my cherished gilt Sub up for sale. Have the modern bug of late, so moving my second to last 4 digit piece. Not even sure what I might get next...114060, 116600, 116710, 116618LB. Maybe a real dress watch?

Looking for a hard to find model for the wife. Probably be smart to source that one first, but not many have accused me of being smart

She about fell over when I told her I was selling the Gilt.

Something will jump out at me sooner or later. I am trying to keep the collection smaller these days. Four or less, so that is a good measurable resolution.

WAK4 · 4 January 2017, 06:31 AM

To buy not a single Rolex this year, unless a Coke GMT in SS comes out.

Otherwise, I am sticking to the 5711 I have on order, and that's it for purchases this year

That is a damn good resolution.

Is it me, or has the 5711 gone way up in price over the last 18 months?

It has, and now that I've decided to go for one, I won't mind paying list at my AD for the blue.

Chewbacca · 4 January 2017, 06:39 AM

more cowbell.

Rolex addict · 4 January 2017, 07:50 AM

I have the same resolution I've had for years. Do something I've never done before. I try to live this philosophy often. Last year was the Platona and my first high end watch other than Rolex. I am still LOVING my AP. This year, well, you know what it is. I go this afternoon to finish the paperwork. There were some delays with the credit company last Saturday, so the deal will be complete tonight.

However, if the right watch comes along........

sco · 4 January 2017, 08:15 AM

Edit.... I don't have any watch related resolutions....

drummerdunc · 4 January 2017, 08:18 AM

Go a year without buying any more watches...

AK797 · 4 January 2017, 10:01 AM

Aiming to buy 2 maybe 3 depending on Basel.

New Year's Resolution

Sunday, January 1, 2017
7:30 AM

Jimmy Buffett said it best
About these New Year's solutions,
This year I choose with resolve anew,
to make no further resolutions.

I know that I'm pretty good
At keeping decisions made,
But never can I truly hope
without my higher power's aid.

So at this making of the year
Instead of lists to fail,
I'll not fill the page with wants heart felt,
My efforts spent to no avail.

Instead I'll offer up a prayer,
To a power greater than the rest,
To give me what He truly needs,
And help direct me in his quest.

mdx77 · 4 January 2017, 10:08 AM

These three by December 31, 2017......BLNR already checked off the list

DCheeta · 4 January 2017, 10:29 AM

No new watches for me, unless it's one incoming to replace TWO outgoings. I'm trying to minimize.

Same here...I really need to thin the herd and up the pedigree a bit.

socialpro · 4 January 2017, 12:12 PM

Looking at picking up a 5 digit 2 line sub and/or gmt 2 in the upcoming months!

amg55 · 4 January 2017, 12:27 PM

My aim to find a Daytona C white dial without paying any premium. Failing that, I'll be content with a good preloved WG 116509 instead (black dial).
