Strong collection. When I was faced with this critical decision point, I had both blk and blue TT. In the metal side by side, the Bluesy was the clear winner, it wasn't even close. 5 months later I was able to get the 114060. They both compliment each other. Winter vs Summer, Day vs Night, Stealth vs King Tut touch. The Bluesy is magical when outdoors in the sun.

Had an opportunity to get my hands on the 41 black dial this year. First gold Rolex, when I put this watch on my wrist and felt the weight I was amazed. That feeling I had of power when I put that watch on for the first time, I still get it every time I put it on. Prayers everyone’s AD calls them this new year with their dream watch!

This bad boy looks slick, no doubt. this goes well with your skin, too, agreed... I am also pretty pale, and I have noticed, while this piece does easily match your skin tone, if you have a gold hue watch that does not, you can just about make it work by matching it with another piece on your wardrobe like a belt buckle or something and an atypical color of jeans or something, burgundy or green or something. Then the somewhat "out of place" color of the accessory can become kind of like wearing a flashy pair of Air Jordans or a loud-ish jacket as a quirky centerpiece. Especially if it's an interesting watch, it can work... but I must admit you have to rock it with confidence... I have one watch of this tone and I must admit I don't wear it that much... but I bet if it were a more interesting watch i'd wear it more, despite fashion hurdles..

Congratulations on your latest addition to your vast and varied collection Damien. My only surprise is that you didn’t go for the yellow Sub with blue dial & bezel as I know you are a sucker for a blue dial. IMO that is the better combination as the vibrant dial will pop on a sunny summers day. I think that the solid gold versions look best when they age and become dulled by tarnishing. This is the reason that your full gold Speedmaster is so appealing to me. Would love to see a SOTC Full Gold episode.

Got delivery of this watch today and I love it. No intentions of flipping it, just like all my watches, I'll just wear it when I feel like it. But I also take some pride in having this piece while watching the Luna crypto coin crash and burn on the same day. I'm actually in favor of crypto per se but this piece will likely never drop below retail and while I'm holding on to it, I'm wearing a kick-ass watch. I've put some funds into crypto because why the hell not but I'm firmly of the opinion that tangible assets will likely trump purely speculative investments in the long term.

Hi Damian - I’ve a decision to make tomorrow. Despite no previous purchase history with any Rolex AD’s I’ve been fortunate to purchase 7 Steel Professional models from 5 different AD’s in the lat 3 years - James Cameron, Hulk, Batgirl, Explorer II Polar, 40mm Date and ‘No Date’ Sub, 41mm ‘No Date’ Sub. I’ve now been offered the Sea-Dweller 126603 Rolesor from an AD with a £300 discount. I’m also considering a preowned unworn Milgauss white dial, from an independent dealer, with some stickers and a 2020 warranty card £2K over current Milgauss retail, although I would expect to negotiate a lower price if I opt for this. I buy all my watches to keep, rotate and wear 24/7. Your valued opinion and rationale would be much appreciated 🤓
@TheWatchGuysTV3 жыл бұрын
Hi MacRolex - good effort so far! My view on the SD Rolesor is... I hate it, but you may love it. For me, if I had one, I would sell it on instantly. The white dial Milgauss I absolutely love, it's one of my favourite Rolexes. £2k over is about what they cost, but I think it's worth it. That's what I had to pay.

@@TheWatchGuysTV Considering I had a standing start 4 years ago I’m really pleased with my collection. It’s been a lot of time and effort - think I’ve contacted virtually every 🇬🇧 AD either by visiting, telephone or email. About 10 showed a genuine interested and after nothing for 18 months all my buses seemed to arrive at once and 5 came good! 🤩 Thanks for your forthright advice - the dealer is asking £8.5K for the Milgauss which seems fair. Adding another steel piece to the collection rather than Rolesor and keeping some money in the watch fund does seem more sensible. Interesting that you rate the Milgauss so highly with all your fantastic pieces. Is it particularly the aesthetics of the white dial that you like so much?
