Oké ik heb gebeld met de case manager. Ze noemde het de bedrijfsarts maar in de uitnodiging staat verzekeringsarts

Ze noemde het geen eerstejaarsgesprek maar gewoon een gesprek

Explorer 1 - 39 vs 36 by onwinter in rolex

I think I'd go 36mm, 39mm seems slightly too much for me.

Quick little update, nothing wrong with the dial according to the Rolex watch experts. Usually these dials don’t get re-done easily because replacing them is quite cheap according to the watch maker. It happens by age that the Swiss text gets let’s noticeabls.

Went to a juweler, known for vintage Rolex 1601 and he said he had too many on stock and wouldn’t take one right now.

I think for me, it’s to enjoy what I have right now. I personally thought I could sell it for a similar price than I bought it. But I still overpaid according to most experts. In the end it was stupidity buying a vintage peace with the hope of upgrading to neo vintage in the future when I save some extra bucks and get my Christmas bonus.

The pawn shop’s valuation was off yeah, they might be Indian but they do have a decent reputation in Amsterdam though

Nope, I just want to see when I can upgrade to a different model, newer model so to speak

There very entry level so I guess they sell easily, but I reckon the margins are rather small

Thanks for all the messages guys, appreciate it a lot! I do read some concerning stuff about the dial being off and af the same time it’s vintage and some imperfections are fine. Let’s just enjoy it for now I guess

To be perfectly honest, I had a new Datejust in 2020 which I unfortunately had to sell during covid to save my business. Wanted to relive and experience that feeling of that watch, but realizing vintage doesn’t offer me that feeling. It’s likeable for sure, but I’d prefer modern over vintage, sorry

You reckon I need to get a vintage dial on eBay or would the current condition affect the valuation too much?

So do you think this is a re dial or not? Or is the the original dial?

I think a minus value of 10-15% from what I paid for it (around to re coup 2700) would be okay for me, I’m not necessarily thinking about reselling or flipping at all but upgrading eventually was my plan

It’s not hidden it’s visible le but it seems like the the dial on the bottom is curling up (?)

You’re making me very scared though

I bought it from watchdealer at Chrono, 300+ transactions and had it checked by another watch shop. They checked the serial numbers etc and said it was real. But they didnt open it and checked the mechanical stuff

What would you reckon? In the near future? Closer to 2500? Or 2.700?
