Batgirl last year. Purchase history of two other Rolexes and various jewelry for the wife over the last 8 years or so. MCOL location. Wait time was kind of irrelevant since I had a bunch of other watches so I really didn’t care how quickly I got it. I basically told my AD I was interested in a few watches and this became available to allocate to me last year. I got a SS Sky this year so I’m hoping for one per year going forward. If I have to wait two years I’ll be ok…

My wrists are also 6.5 inches. It’s definitely chunky and aggressive looking. I wear it with long sleeved shirts, and the batgirl with short sleeves. If you have both you should be fine. You’ll get used to the weight. You need to wear it pretty snug, but the bracelet offers micro adjustments.

6 month wait time, used a family friend with a $1m+ collection, picked it up at Reis Nichols in Indy. My actual AD said he could get anything with gold or platinum in it on order in 6-8mos if you’re looking for the root beer.

Hey y’all. Would love to get some thoughts from people about buying vintage watches and what resources you might use to evaluate a piece before you buy.

I’ve only ever bought new watches but am in love with some vintage pieces. I’m not really sure where to start with resources to do my due diligence and ensure I’m not massively over paying or buying something that no watch maker today could really service.

Would love some thoughts from the bowl on any vintage buys y’all have done.

Thanks!
