Day Date 40 - Good Deal?

Just picked up a YG DD 40 from my AD. Flipped my TT white dial SkyD plus $13K. I thought it was largely in line with what could be obtained via trusted seller and strengthened the relationship. Thoughts?

You traded a YM + 13k?!? I don’t think that sounds like much of a deal.

Don’t know if it’s a deal or not, but that DD is GORGEOUS.

If you went from a used TT SkyD to a new DD40 for $13k that sounds like a good deal to me. Your DD40 looks amazing.

That is one stunning watch. And since it’s brand new from your ad it sounds like a fairly good deal.

I never thought I’d want a gold watch but I do now. And it’ll be a YG DD.

Congrats. You have a beauty and a quintisential Rolex classic.

Thanks. I was the same way initially and then found myself wanting one. I consider this a grail.

So that's about $30K for a $35K watch which is a bit under 15% off; seems like a fair deal to me. It is a beautiful watch as well!!!

If I had that DD it would be my last Watch. Actually planning to make it that way in years to come.

enjoy your watch
