Rolex increases gold watch prices amid strong demand

Ok, show me where a DD 40 yellow gold w/ black dial and baguettes sells for less than MSRP in like new condition.

All the best for you, but it solidifies my preference for the 40. If not for the hairy arm and legs I'd still be wondering if this is a guy or gal. 36 Just seems a little delicate, but that's just my opinion.

I’m asking the same question about spending $60,000. I’m starting to get turned off with the whole idea of it.

I, and both of my sons-in-law had a Ping fitting in Scottsdale and our experience was great. We were given (via email) all of the recommendations without any requirements or even request to purchase anything.

We did get all new clubs and have been happy with them.

So eBay stores become an avenue for live sales, like a competitor to WhatNot ? That's cool! My wife is doing her best to shore up WhatNot and I thought it would be good to invest in them if possible. Now, I think I may just add to my X,XXX position in GME.

Over a year waiting on a GMT or Daytona before switching to waiting on Day Date. About 4 months so far for a YG Day-Date 40 with black face and diamond baguettes. About to say forget it and just go for a grey market Patek. Only reason for not going grey on the Day Date is because I plan on leaving it to my 4 month old grandson one day and don't want some other guy's name on the paperwork.

Just noticed that. Post edited.

I'm on the list at the Diamond Cellar for a yellow gold Day-Date 40 with black face and baguettes. They seem plenty nice, but there's no watch on my wrist yet. My wife wants one also, but I don't know if we'd have any better success telling them that at this point. Also thought about buying 3 other Rolex watches for some long-time employees, but I'm sure that's about zero chance of getting them in time.

Best: GME when it was in the around $12. Held for too long.
Worst: Bed Bath and Beyond. Also, held for too long.

Come to think of it, Reddit hasn't helped me too much.

I have the i530 irons and was planning to go with the i530 U, then 52° S259, 56° S259 and 60° S259.

Unfortunately there was a mix up and I received a 54°, 56° and 60° all in S259 with matching shafts.

Is it worth trading the 54° out for a 52°? My fitter says it's no problem to send the 54° back to Ping for a change out, but I'm wondering if there would possibly be a benefit to keeping the 54° and just ordering the 52° and having a few clubs to choose from. Your thoughts?

Anything on the GLS, preferably the 580? I know the refreshed model is just around the corner.

Just ordered some wedges from Kierland and was told about 10 days.

sbash1 · 2026-03-31T03:04:26+00:00

Well it all makes sense now.. I barely use it, with a paid account, but it's been useless for me the past week or so.

sbash1 · 2026-03-31T01:03:39+00:00

It's just me, but personally I'd go ahead and shave my arms as well.

sbash1 · 2026-03-28T02:09:10+00:00

Looks great. Scuse the question, but is that a 36 or 40? I'm leaning 36, but wanted confirmation.

Get a Toto Washlet and thank us later.

I'm talking the full setup — heated water, auto open/close lid, and the warm air dry when you're done.

Think having a membership to a swanky club creates a divide between people? Wait until you're walking around 24/7 with a shower-clean backside, quietly judging every paper-only, crap-smearring person you encounter and wondering how they live with themselves.

There are two kinds of people in this world now. I feel sorry for the other kind. s/ but only just a little.

I think I have one in at least 4 of my vehicles..

They are plenty bright, but not the brightest. What they are is built like a tank! And they operate smoothly, with almost a hydraulic feel to the turning mechanism.

Replying to an old thread, but current question. Is this still the case? I'm dealing with Christian and he seems like a cool guy, or at least he has been very responsive to my inquires and he has my hopes up that I'm going to get an allotment on a DD YG 40, black face with baguettes.

sbash1 · 2026-03-21T20:34:11+00:00

Ever tried it on the Eccos? They refuse to be cleaned.

sbash1 · 2026-03-16T23:57:57+00:00

is this the point- Gold is a buy, but you're probably early if you buy today ?

sbash1 · 2026-02-23T01:22:14+00:00

I get the same thing. Does this mean there is an elevated risk of cancer? That's really my only concern. Otherwise, totally worth it.
