    100%. Unless it's RRP and brand new in an AD.

    Pretty close to zero chance of owning one of the “in demand” models so unless you are dropping serious bucks in an AD on other brands. The odd rare success stories of “I happened to get one by chance” are far and few between.

    Perhaps arse will fall from market but there is a lot of pent up demand. RRP is largely irrelevant. Market drives the value. Similar to it being easy to get most Omegas at 20% off.

    RRP is not irrelevant if that’s all your willing to pay or go without. I think Rolex are driving away a lot of genuine non-flipper customers with this shortage. If I don’t get a GMT 2 Pepsi then so be it but as i stated before here I can get over being ridden if I don’t know it’s happening but I’m fecked if I’m gonna willingly get ridden and be asked to smile while it’s happening

    Plenty of bargains around if you have the spare time to hunt 24/7, this one sold for £9500, only a fool would pay the prices being thrown around it’s all a bluff

    That’s still 3 grand more than RRP.

    I also assume that add is an old one pre Basel. If not then buy it now as watchfinder will pay you more and they are notoriously low.

    How do you know that one sold for 9.5 recently?

    Hard to believe any dealer would sell for that and have to pay fees when wf will pay them more with zero fees.

    :(:(

    I have a Datejust 41 Two tone (Steel and Yellow Gold) on a jubilee bracelet and I aint no lady! (although some people may call me that! ) :pac:

    However, I did recently also acquire a Day-Date 40 in yellow gold to just try masculate myself a little :D

    Your tastes would be in the minority it appears, very unpopular watches in Rolex land. Even two tone Daytona are easily got in the AD. But we are all allowed like whatever we want. They are nice watches.

    Absolutely. I actually liked the look of the watches. I'm not 100% convinced on the Gold DD yet though. I'll let it grow on me and see.

    Funnily, I'm not a massive fan of the submariners, which I know are extremely popular here

    Spotted a few GMT IIs the other day on Dawson Street, near Stephen's Green (Dawson Jewelers?)... They had a black, a blnr and another one which was a combo of red and some other colour, sorry can't remember. Was in a hurry, no prices on display and looks like the sort of place you have to ring a bell for admission.

    They have an black DLC / PVD explorer 2 with red numbers. I really like it. I think they want 7500 for it

    It’d want to be a fair bit under RRP of the original given how niche these are. Also, Rolex won’t touch them.

    PVD/DLC= yuck in my opinion why not just buy a black watch in the first place.

    If you want a black watch made by Rolex then your in a bit of bother and as I said PVD/DLC is horrible in my opinion but my tastes are not everybody’s

    Do some reading about McManus watches and you'll get the picture of him.

    Short version is, he is a deeply unpleasant person. And that's quite an understatement.

    Comments removed.......advert mods hang your head that he is even allowed operate.

    “My feedback speaks for it self”

    Indeed it does for the 5 euro items he sells. Look at the Kickstarter scam. And eBay feedback where he tried a scam on a planet ocean if I recall.

    I genuinely believe he has been building up to a scam with the Mickey Mouse sales on adverts. Why the **** else would you sell flour for a 5er. I fear for someone on adverts.

    No photos. Instead pushing people towards his YouTube which he has recently populated to make himself look legitimate also.

    Scam incoming.

    Pics up now. I think the watch is quite possibly and even likely perfectly genuine but the idea of dealing with the seller gives me hives.
