My, my, just look at that! I happen to have a GMT IIc. Chris, you are very well spoken gentleman and you speak the ultimate truth.

Just saying.

If you are not a big fan of Rolex why get another? Look at other brands until you come to one you like (watch and brand alike).

Easy - either a SS or TT DateJust (with a dial of your choice)

TB72 · 20 November 2011, 11:04 PM

If your looking for a smaller watch and can live without the date, I'd suggest you look at the 39mm Explorer. The Explorer has a great history.

travisb · 21 November 2011, 12:25 AM

Solid all around watch and flies under the radar.

GradyPhilpott · 21 November 2011, 03:06 AM

Sell it and buy whatever you want, whether it's a watch or used car.

There's no shame in not being a Rolex fan.

There are however many Rolex watches that you may find attractive if you take the time to look around.

Go to an AD and check some out and browse their catalog.

Then you'll be in a better position to decide.

DG123 · 21 November 2011, 03:24 AM

If you like a date function on your watch, Rolex 36mm Datejust.
If you do not care for a date function, Rolex 36mm Oyster Perpetual.
The dive watches are designed for diving underwater.

Gotta' admit, I'm stumped on this one.
You're "not a huge fan" of Rolex yet you "respect the build quality and status aspects" and are currently asking for advice as to what Rolex to buy.....................???????????

I am not a huge fan of the look of my deep sea, but understand why people like them. Wanted some suggestions based on what other people own. I'll post some pics shortly

Tony-GB · 21 November 2011, 06:35 AM

I genuinely don't understand the point of this thread.

What is the point of this question?

Lew Archer · 21 November 2011, 08:01 AM

I can highly recommend the new Explorer I. Excellent watch, iconic model, recently updated. Low-profile, elegant, functional, and handsome.

warrior · 21 November 2011, 08:14 AM

Bingo!!

Any respectable places to sell it, the for sale forum here has post limits and wait limits which I can wait for, I don't think I would ever stick it on ebay or something like that. Any other places that buy Rolex and are know to be good?

Get in touch with one of the big seller here and they will buy yours at a fair price etc.

Palakiko · 22 November 2011, 06:20 AM

What about going for the SD. Its the predecessor and has that classic look to it.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 22 November 2011, 09:26 AM

If you don't care for Rolexes - no problem. Everyone has different tastes. There are plenty of other options out there.

Mosco · 22 November 2011, 09:28 AM

I'd say the Milgauss is the most non-Rolex Rolex out there.

InTime · 28 November 2011, 08:25 AM

so sold on the GV milgauss that i had to buy one.

its by far the best watch ive owned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the 2nd hand is awesome. and yes i never really liked rolex! ;)

SOLD SOLD SOLD

robertgrom · 28 November 2011, 10:17 AM

James Bond cannot afford Rolex lately. So impress everyone and get the Sub C.

roach7 · 28 November 2011, 01:51 PM

+1 for the milgauss gv

htc8p · 28 November 2011, 02:03 PM

sub and dj are the classics of rolex. if you dont like these then flip it.

le_baroudeur · 28 November 2011, 09:24 PM

16610 ?

novan3 · 29 November 2011, 12:17 AM

Daytona 116598 SACO

azguy · 29 November 2011, 12:22 AM

maybe he's not a sport watch guy

no harm in that and the DS is a harsh way to start being so heavy and thick on the wrist.

Look at the dressier models, you can get a datejust in SS, TT or gold and with a ton of dial variations

make a trip to the AD and make a trade and be happy
