Great watches, you got bit by the Tudor bug! Still have a DJ, nicer in opinion. 2 divers and a somewhat dress watch.... Awesome!

Yes it did. I tried on a sub C and a SD4k. He made me an awesome deal on the Advisor and the 2 other Tudors to make the deal even across.

I am convinced that I will end up with another Rolex diver. Probably a 16600. That is what I was looking at when I bought the dssd and that is what I should have bought then. He had 2 used ones that were just serviced by Rolex but not complete sets and for what he had to have I will keep my eye out for a complete set.

I about fell over when he said even up. I was expecting to have to haggle over a couple grand when I did the math but prior to this I had bought 6-7 watches from them and had just bought a new setting for my wife's diamond ring earlier in the day. They probably padded some profit in the new setting, but we were not even talking about watches then.

Nice swap that you got. The important thing is that you're enjoying wearing your timepieces again.

Big Congrats! I think you did great, especially if you love the watches you ended up with.... and as my parents would say, "What's not to love?"

Congrats! I really really wanted to like the Advisor, but it's just too thick.

Wow that's sweet! I'm the same way, if I'm not wearing a watch, it's time to move it on..

Generally speaking though, do most Rolex ADs offer some sort of trade up program? Is it the norm?

The DJ looked fine on your wrist, and all four of the new ones look too large.

I am sure for the right price any AD will take a trade. Especially if you have desirable pieces to trade.

Mainly because they were not sized. That picture was at the AD and they were all flopping around. They are much better now that the straps/bracelets are all adjusted and sized properly. I will post more pictures tomorrow.
