New purchase

Hi everyone, I amnew to this forum and I need some advice. I have the opportunity to purchase a very lightly used 2004 YG President with an original diamond dial. Original papers box ect. The asking price is 13,000.00. I need some guidance from the people on this forum. Thanks for your input. BTW if I make this purchase, my daily rolex goes to my eldest son.

I can't offer you any advice friend (though I'm sure others will)....
& in the interim, Hello & Welcome!

Welcome. Don't know what advice your looking for as only you know whet you want, but the DD sounds like a great choice to me.

Your setting the bar high for the second eldest!

I'm not that familiar to the Day-Date, but I do know that it being 4-5 years old, it is due a service and cosmetic touch up. I think the Day-Dates run a premium for these services. You should figure this into your purchase/cost and get-e-done. You'll love it when you get it back "like new".
