If you had 15k to spend, and thinking that the BLRO,BLNR steel subs and GMT but all two tone colours and less populair models are available, what would you buy, consider greymarket and preowned pieces without spending a premium?
What would you buy??

I would buy a CHNR i think, but i have been eyeballing a 116503 last days with a black dial and considering you can pick one up with 15% if Lucky it would be okeish i suppose.. Or perhaps a discounted YM blue dial

peterpl · 5 February 2019, 10:17 PM

Aquanaunt or sky dweller

Slider817 · 5 February 2019, 10:29 PM

If I was staying in Rolex it would a a white Dial SS Skydweller.

pandrew · 5 February 2019, 10:32 PM

If i had 15K to spend and no more than I would look at the SS SkyDweller. Probably white face version.

DLRIDES · 5 February 2019, 10:34 PM

$15k, bang for buck = Sky Dweller 326934

JayHantz · 5 February 2019, 10:41 PM

If I had 15K (I am assuming USD) to spend on a watch I would go with the CHNR or SkyDweller to add a pilot's watch to your collection. I think the CHNR is the best TT that Rolex has right now, and that SkyDweller is gorgeous with a great complication to boot.

If I were to stray outside the Crown, I would look to add an ALS Saxonia Thin if you wanted an awesome dress watch, or a Vacheron Constantin Overseas if you wanted something different but similar to a 116503.

Gaijin · 5 February 2019, 10:44 PM

Canopy, Aurora or Aphria. Probably Aurora as I just bought more of the other two.

Oh, you mean Rolex? Sorry, wrong thread.

$15,000? Hmmm.

I probably try to find a used blue wave WG 36 mm Day Date. Probably impossible I know.

I'd buy another OP ( Blue Dial ) then ahh.. I don't know.

Maybe spend the whole 15 on a white dial SS Skydweller as that might be near the price from a grey.

Am I dreaming?

pigman08 · 5 February 2019, 10:54 PM

A 14070M 4-liner with lug holes, a 16570 with SEL & lug holes... The rest will be spent on fresh RSC services if no service history.

A 326934 is cool indeed, but between a CHNR and a Sky-dweller for me the CHNR would win.. Would it keep any good resale value that Skydweller? I am unsure about the CHNR as being a tt watch.. I definitely love that reference, won't pay any premium obviously

Over what period of time?

When do you plan to sell and for how much?

I am not planning to sell for profit, just wondering if it is a bit of a stabel or it would get a big hit over say 5 years or so?

codecow · 5 February 2019, 11:31 PM

One watch? Saxonia thin.

Headshrinker · 5 February 2019, 11:40 PM

Pre-owned Day-Date with an unusual dial, but I’m not looking!

Apologies I was thinking 15k GBP, not USD.
Being as the aquanaunt is £14500 here.

True. Would be nice though.

BLNR and a vintage Speedmaster.

capital · 5 February 2019, 11:47 PM

Can we pick 2?
A new GMT Master 2 LN, and a pre-owned IWC porteguese :)

rspeabody · 5 February 2019, 11:49 PM

I’d buy a sub and put the rest in the bank.
