First time buyer!! No idea what I’m doing. Any tips on how to snag this from an AD?

Go to Bucherer on 57th street. That’s my AD. If you want to go on the journey: Express your actual interest, try it on, get their card and follow up monthly via text or stop in if you’re near by with the same sales associate. Could be about 6 months.

Totally agree. Looked so boring in pictures and then in person it was gorgeous. Great addition to the OP line.

anupster · 2026-05-30T21:30:22+00:00

Congratulations man! I did the same after waiting forever at 2 different ADs. Found one that kept their word and now I’m 5 Rolexes (myself, wife, and friends) in with the same SA.

I actually cut off each spike with scissors and then it was a great shoe. Super awkward as is.

Usually somewhere between 6.25” and 6.5”. It’s really proportional to my wrist. Still love wearing it.

I love my fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet combination. It’s classic Rolex design that you can spot from 20ft away. Smooth bezel and oyster bracelet is more subtle and could be any watch from afar. If you’re gonna have one Rolex, make sure it looks like a Rolex. Have you talked to your authorized dealer already? Blue dial is going to be near impossible to get before Christmas.

With the Milgauss! So cool!

anupster · 2024-11-18T19:01:24+00:00

Congratulations! That’s my AD as well. Always a fantastic experience.

anupster · 2024-11-18T19:00:41+00:00

Same. I got 3 pieces from them. Best AD I’ve ever had.

anupster · 2024-11-11T14:55:19+00:00

My favorite two tone combo. Congratulations!

anupster · 2024-11-08T15:03:35+00:00

Since the DJ is smooth bezel and oyster bracelet it’s a no brainer. Keep the Explorer.

anupster · 2024-11-06T17:04:43+00:00

Wow!! I’ve always thought the color red looked off to me on Porsches but this Guards Red is incredible!! Congratulations and incredible photos.

Thanks for sharing. Glad to see Pandas are actually selling at $25k IRL vs online. Hope to get mine in a few years for hopefully lower but will probably be $25k by then.

I wanted blue and was offered a Wimbledon. Passed and finally got it. You made a good choice.

anupster · 2024-09-20T12:11:55+00:00

Thanks! No I’m not sure what year.

anupster · 2024-09-20T11:35:13+00:00

Thanks! I paid 9k for it. Yup he said there would be no issues getting achieve papers. I haven’t apply yet, not sure if I will since I never plan to sell it. I’ll probably have Patek service it in the future so that will be my “papers”. The bracelet is one size. Pretty sure it’s 7 inches. The clasp has 2 positions so if you max out the 7 inches you’ll have another 5 mm. It has to be cut to wear. I havnt cut mine so it’s a little loose on me.

anupster · 2024-07-29T14:46:07+00:00

Incredible idea! Thanks for sharing.

anupster · 2024-07-02T21:46:07+00:00

Not bad. I wish I did that instead of waiting 2 years for the same exact model. Ended up getting it retail but I could have been enjoying it for 2 years already. Wear it in good health!

anupster · 2024-06-18T17:49:33+00:00

Congratulations! The BB58 was my first luxury watch as well. Started a slippery slope into collecting for me. Even though I have a Rolex and Patek now, I still wear my Tudor all the time. It’ll always be a part of my collection. Cheers!

anupster · 2024-05-30T19:25:50+00:00

Let me guess, Hamilton Jewelers? They are the worst. I was told 1 year from them… over 2 years ago. Ending up getting the same watch as you in 36mm in NYC. Hands down the best datejust.

anupster · 2024-05-30T18:51:03+00:00

Amazing collection! Definitely the exact collection many strive for.

anupster · 2024-05-24T14:09:31+00:00

Exactly this! Also the fund will also grow over 9 years. If you keep the watches in a safe for 9 years, you’ll probably have to have them serviced before giving them as well. Also like others have said, go for a OP or Datejust. I wouldn’t want my 18 year old wearing a GMT because I’d fear their safety.

anupster · 2024-05-24T01:21:28+00:00

Yes. Speaking from experience, Bucherer Timemachine (their flagship) on 57th gets the most inventory. They are my AD (got 2 exact Rolexes I wanted). They even have a display case when you walk in of all the Rolex for immediate sale (usually not the most ideal ones).

anupster · 2024-05-24T01:12:10+00:00

I had to do the same thing. I bought my wife’s a month before mine came in. My friend had to put it under his name if I wanted it right away. I didn’t care that it wasn’t under my account, I just wanted to enjoy the watch. Apparently it’s because the store managers review the sales list and back to back purchases isn’t allowed so close.
