I put a deposit down on a Rolex for my wife last November with my local dealer. Nice guy and no reason to doubt it as I underwent here were a lot of delays with Rolex. He initially said they’d expect it in 3-4 months and has since said they’re working to fulfill all orders by end of June. Is this ridiculous or sound about right?

Depending on the specific watch that seems about right.

Yeah I would think so. Unfortunately only one dealer in my city (happens to be 5 minutes from me) but close to the DC/Baltimore area so may check there.

Gotta periodically pop in and say hi to your rep so when things come in they think of you. (More than just “hi is my order here? Ok bye”)

At this point your choices are get your deposit back and don’t get the watch from that AD or just ride it out. It sucks but that’s what Rolex has delt you.

I am in NY for the holidays and I picked up the longines master for $2050 at Macy's. I have always wanted one, but I just saw it on Jomashop on sale for $1400 and I am having some serious buyer's remorse. I am thinking of returning it and buying from Jomashop. Yay or Nay? Is Jomashop reliable?

Thanks.

My friend’s parent’s jewelry store has a Bluesy (ref 16613) in “like new” condition + box from 2008 for 10k. I had been contemplating buying a Rolex, but wasn’t super set on it. Is this a solid deal? Chrono24 seems to have couple years older ones for around 8-10k in very good/with papers, so not sure if I should keep shopping around

I have two of these - they’re each 4 years old, battle-tested and keeping perfect time. Ronda movement in a US assembled case... very good 800-1k range watch for a wide range of wearability.

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

What would you pick and why?
