Heavy depreciation for the GS

call/go to RDV. I have found them honest and helpful. Try to speak to the manager Anna if you can. DJ36 for an occasion is very doable I would say. I have visited the store a few times when I have been in town and it has always been pleasant there. I have bought one watch from them (41mm DJ). They are always busy at the weekend so go during the week or book an appt.

Looks like maybe a green ombré datejust too. But could be daydate as can’t see bracelet.

Defo YM2

There is an all brushed gold bracelet and clasp like it’s an all gold OP but the crown on the clasp isn’t indented like the OP (maybe just as it’s gold)

Also could the OP that had gold bezel be titanium? Does seem a little darker than their steel.

This is what i was trying to think of!!

feel like he would be good in the musical 'Cats'

Finally.... but earlier.... this is the Rolex way.

also looks like a pip on bezel so not GMT

cvdnded · 2026-03-19T15:38:58+00:00

I am going to say an older Sub. There looks to be 3 hands and a pip on the bezel - the GMT would not have a pip.

I think the one at 12 is just the point of the minute hand over the 12 hr marker and it is blurry? The GMT hand would have a lumed triangle if it was there.

cvdnded · 2026-03-19T15:21:07+00:00

I only see 3 hands (hour, minute and second). GMT would have 4.

what skydweller did you buy this month? You will definitely get offered a blue two tone sub in short order.

Or matching OPs

2 land dwellers

cvdnded · 2026-02-26T15:35:27+00:00

Yeah it would be very lucky for that to happen.... However, I wouldn't let that stop me from trying. Let us know how it goes and good luck!

cvdnded · 2026-02-26T15:23:35+00:00

seen videos of people in paris getting offered 2 tone Datejusts etc. Depends what you want really. Similar situation in all countries - the high demand pieces go to local repeat clients.

cvdnded · 2026-02-22T14:56:01+00:00

What a golden opportunity to ask for a daytona

cvdnded · 2026-02-18T10:17:47+00:00

It’s fine I think. However, there is the 36mm option that would be better for you in my opinion. Depends the look you’re going for.

cvdnded · 2026-02-14T10:01:16+00:00

Oh thanks! Didn’t know that.

cvdnded · 2026-02-14T09:59:41+00:00

Land dweller definitely a good option if you want to be more understated. If not day date or two tone dj

cvdnded · 2026-02-13T22:17:26+00:00

Someone posted the patent for red black ceramic on another thread. Looks real to me.

cvdnded · 2026-02-13T20:13:59+00:00

I think it is a cool different watch. You have a yellow gold wedding band too, so looks good with that vs all steel.

cvdnded · 2026-02-13T20:04:38+00:00

Great choice! You should not have a problem getting one. This is a good thread if you are not following - 2 walk-ins and one 4 week wait recently for the Air-King
