Hello everyone, currently i am thinking to get new rolex! I only have Datejust piece. What would you choose with 10,000 dollars budget?

Thank you guys

brandrea · 6 December 2018, 09:23 PM

Welcome to the forum.

Have you gone to an AD to see what fits your style and budget?

JayHantz · 6 December 2018, 09:27 PM

As we all have subjective tastes here (one will tell you to get a Sub and another will say go Explorer II), have you looked around and seen any YOU like? Any models that speak to you or you find yourself staring at? What is the watch used for? Daily? Dressy? Diving or spelunking?

My advice is always get what you want for your wrist; it’s your money and your watch. But we will all be happy to help you hone in and give you our advice if you narrow it down.

For a new watch, I would choose the GMT II 116710LN. I work in a computer company, and all our changes are scheduled using GMT. GMT would be handy for that, but I would choose it mainly because I already have a sub no date, and I would add something a bit different

A Submariner or GMT-II. Both solid watches that wear well and retain value.

watchstudent · 6 December 2018, 09:40 PM

If I could actually find one, a white dialled Daytona 116500. If you wanted to spend the whole lot, I would actually be tempted by the new two tone rootbeer GMT, not usually my thing but i think it looks great!

Do you want a dive watch, a chronograph, an annual calendar?

Helmi · 6 December 2018, 10:04 PM

The 10k range can get you a wide range of steel watches in the rolex catalog. The real challenge is the availability and supply situation. So as others suggested I would visit the ad and check the rolex website then make a move.

In general you can't go wrong with a submariner or a GMT master 2

LuminousMaximus · 6 December 2018, 10:11 PM

I would start with a SUBMARINER 116613 or a YACHT-MASTER 116622

Sublovin · 6 December 2018, 10:18 PM

Buy the cheapest used sub you can find and go on a nice vacation

subprimero · 6 December 2018, 10:33 PM

I prefer the older references; so a 14060 submariner and a 16234 Datejust.

1665fan · 6 December 2018, 10:35 PM

Look for a nice 1680 that’s where I would start

My first Rolex was a TT SubC LB smurf! I miss this watch!

subprimero · 6 December 2018, 10:46 PM

Sorry, I missed that you already have a Datejust, so if you stretch your budget just a bit a 16570 Explorer II and a 14060 Submariner.

joli160 · 6 December 2018, 10:51 PM

I do it the other way around, see a model that I want to buy and than try to get a budget for it

Bingo.

BMRand · 6 December 2018, 11:16 PM

Whichever sport model you can get your hands on for retail or less. :thumb up:

ashokleyland · 6 December 2018, 11:25 PM

Try vintage rollies. Go to momentum dubai at dubai international finance center. A lot of vintage rolex there.

Gerry62 · 6 December 2018, 11:38 PM

only new

116610 LN Submariner date
116710 LN GMT

datejust24 · 6 December 2018, 11:43 PM

I would get a 16600 and Speedmaster ... you won’t ever need another watch again as those two are about as perfect as it gets and within $10k for both in good used condition

dwjez14 · 6 December 2018, 11:50 PM

Submariner or gmt. Get new or get a used 2 tone of either price. I think buying new from the store would be more fun for you

dwjez14 · 7 December 2018, 12:23 AM

Seeing your post. I assume you live in Dubai. How do you like it. By good buddy said it is be of the most beautiful places he has ever been. They just got back from Dubai and Abu Dhabi. He works for airline and his wife is a doctor so they travel the world for almost free

I think that this is good advice, but I would go a little bit further and advise not to let that $10k burn a whole in your pocket.

Put the money aside and continue to do your research and when you know full well which watch you really want without having to ask the opinions of strangers, you'll have that cash and perhaps even more to spend on your next acquisition.

Ditto that, the only problem is availability at MSRP, but I would definitely go for one of those.

yannis · 7 December 2018, 02:39 AM

Welcome! Any modern Sub or GMT are great choices.
