We went to have the wife's DJ band adjusted and the AD offered me the opportunity to pick up a "Root-Beer" (126711CHNR). I picked it up, good decision or not?

If you like it, it’s a good decision. If you don’t, it’s a horrible decision. I hope it’s the former.

Great way to put it because I'm not sure...

If you aren’t sure and you only got it because offered, I’d keep it a month or so. If you haven’t bonded with it, get rid of it then.

Besides, it's too late. not sure how people makes these decisions if you didn't want the item, I assume you wanted it because if he offered you a special edition Michael Kors gold plated watch, would you have bought it, but congratulations I think.
I think its an amazing watch.

Nice

Alfa2109 · 20 June 2021, 10:56 AM

I’d say you done good! But that’s me. You need to like the reference. But I must say I think it will grow on you.

RollieAMI · 20 June 2021, 11:01 AM

Can’t go wrong picking up a GMT from the AD..congrats on a beauty, wish I had that kind of luck haha

Seddyspaghetti · 20 June 2021, 11:02 AM

Congrats. I guess.

rmlovett1 · 20 June 2021, 11:04 AM

Nicely done! Congrats!

J-rob · 20 June 2021, 11:09 AM

I’ll take it for retail haha

ks58 · 20 June 2021, 11:11 AM

I think a solid decision. A very cool watch.

ltmgeller · 20 June 2021, 11:15 AM

Good decision. If you like it you win. If you don't you can sell it and get your money back. No harm done here.

pedersenkl · 20 June 2021, 12:00 PM

While not for everyone, CHNR is a beautiful watch. Got mine a year ago, and have really enjoyed it. But, to each their own personal preference. As someone already stated, wear it for a while and if you don't like it...you can likely sell it and still come out ahead.

Handey0465 · 20 June 2021, 12:09 PM

Just flip it already. If you’re asking strangers if you make a good call or not, then you obviously don’t care about the watch. Why does that even matter?

Good point, I'll give it a chance to grow on me.

Serious question why would you even consider purchasing if you were unsure?

Simply because from what I've noticed GMT's are few and far between/tax write off.

Serious question, what is the justification for using the purchase of a Rolex as a tax deduction and would it pass sniff test of an IRS audit? I take it you've never been audited.

Tax write off? I’m no accountant but how in the h—- is a Rolex a write off? Unless your a watch dealer of course and take a loss.

Best response. Are these thirds on this forums teasers for For Sale posts. Who buys things they don't want or need. Especially when you are talking about more than $10k. It must be nice to piss that type of money away.

Alcibiades · 20 June 2021, 12:10 PM

If you don’t want it I will take it off of your hands

Boaters · 20 June 2021, 12:30 PM

You bet great job!!!

brandrea · 20 June 2021, 12:32 PM

What’s you’re favourite watch?

That’s the one I’d buy

The 126600 Sea Dweller #1 then the dual time Cellini (50529-0007).

MichaelFlash · 20 June 2021, 12:37 PM

I understand why the op purchased the watch, but it’s sad to see what the Rolex market has become. Maybe one of the reasons why you don’t see any watches at the AD is because people will by whichever sports Rolex is offered whether they like it or not.
