My Seikos are not a quarter of the watch of my Tudor, which admittedly is barely a luxury watch but still 4x the price of my most expensive Seiko and 8x the price of my least expensive one. That said, I'm heading to the Grand Seiko Boutique right now...just to look around.
Larger size OPs have become unobtainium too. I want the date and the dressier look of the DJ 36. Nice watch.
Yep, same here, but 36 with a black dial. I would take a blue too, which I really dig but I already have 2 other blue dial watches. Jubilee and fluted bezel are required for me.
I get it. Presently, the hype is real, but calling a 100+ year old high quality watch maker a joke is a reach. I wasn't a huge fan myself but it's because it was hard for me to justify such an expensive watch when there are so many quality options for less money. My Tudor, however, is an impressive piece. You can't walk into a Porsche dealership and buy a GT3 without waiting awhile, but Porsche is no joke. Neither is Rolex, in my opinion.
That's unfortunate. I have had a good experience with my AD so far. My salesperson even remembered my name when I called back 2 weeks later and let him know I am wavering on the dial color (blue or black). He gave me his cell phone number and told me to text him so he remembered to update my request for either. As watch geeks, I suppose we have to battle those who are buying the brand, but after being in the hobby for a few years my attitude towards Rolex has really changed for the better. I would try a different AD. Most of us on here have more than one watch from more than one brand, so their loss of your future business.
