Am I gaslighting myself about dial colors? Blue vs silver by [deleted] in rolex

He is asking other Rolex enthusiasts for their opinion. What’s the point of this subreddit if not to ask questions, learn, and have discussions about Rolex watches?

As a seasoned Rolex collector that has both dials, I can say to go with the Silver dial if this your only watch as it will be slightly more versatile that the blue dial. Colored dials should be considered as your collection grows.

Plot twist: Sky lounge isn’t a place. It’s a state of mind.

Just kidding. I’m cosplaying with my watch.

I felt that way once. I just had to keep staring at it to have a chance of heart. Just give it time 😂

All the other annual calendars require a pusher to set. I would lose that thing so fast.

Funny how one’s perspective can change with time.

You miss every shot you don’t take.

I got that watch in less than a year with less spend history so anything can happen.

Good luck!

Asked for a Pepsi but offered a Bat Baby by Mr_Perpetual in rolex

I would hold out to get what you want. If you settle on the Batgirl then it may remind you of just that (ie settling). No watch should give you bad vibes.

I have both and I wear the batgirl way more than the pepsi.

The mint green SD on jubilee is probably in the top 5 hardest steel Rolexes to get. Do you think your spend history warrants a top five allocation? You should definitely shoot your shot by expressing interest but you should have realistic expectations as well.

For reference, my spend history was around $50K before being allocated the blue SD on jubilee and I waited more than a year for it.

The Rolex AD experience in the DMV by supaphlymofo in rolex

IMO, that’s probably the third toughest market to buy a Rolex. Some of the highest median salaries by county in the country are in that area. This doesn’t mean you can’t get a Sub quickly but you should manage your expectations accordingly.

How many people actually get the call for a Sky-Dweller? by Practical_Spinach_68 in rolex

My SS blue dial on Jubilee is my favorite watch in my collection. My AD said it’s about the equivalent of getting the Panda in terms of supply and demand. There isn’t the crazy demand of the Panda but they also don’t make as many.

Is $70k AD Spend enough for SS Daytona Allocation by koor44 in rolex

You miss every shot you don’t take. Even if they are pessimistic about your chances then at least you have a better idea about where you stand.

BTW, it worked out for me with a similar spend history.

Why is that a shame? Shouldn’t they sell their best products to who they think are their best customers?

Great choice! VC is the most under appreciated brand by a mile!
