Lava Red Never Looked so Good

Very pleased to hear of your good fortune after much struggle. We take nothing with us when we go so it’s special to enjoy what we can while here.

Killer. Best look and size and dial of the Milgauss line. Congrats!

I had a good experience on C24 selling a JLC Master Control. I set a very competitive price and sold it to a serious fella for just a few hundred than my ask. I learned a dear lesson though - shipping can be very expensive for us non-jewelry industry folks. There are several insurance firms that specialize in jewelry but again, not the easiest. Do research now. C24 gave me names of four firms. Dealers offered me ridiculously low prices. 50% of my bottom line and probably 60% of what they’ll get. Nonetheless, C24 holds the buyer’s money in escrow and only releases it after delivery. Again, insurance is the details and I have NO faith in USPS, FedEx (bought a $3,000 watch on C24 at Christmas and it disappeared on a FedEx truck in Florida. They were useless regarding intel, help or concern. I got my money back in full from C24.) and haven’t used UPS. I would consider DHL for international. In sum, you’ll make more selling it yourself, make far less selling to a dealer and get more value from a dealer in a trade. My two cents. Good luck!

I definitely would depending upon what comfort level you have with a 41mm. I have the Tudor 58 also and find it to be - for my wrist - a bit large and tall compared to the boutique bronze 39mm. I believe the standard bronze with fabric strap is even larger at 43mm. Wow.

I like it a lot. Have the Black Bay 58 Bronze in 39mm and it’s a delightful fit. I’d like to try the 54 out. Reviews have been excellent.

Congrats on this! It’s a beauty. I actually think that’s a delightful combination and makes the DJ very classy. I had a similar experience last year. Stopped in the Miami boutique and was asked the same question. When I mentioned DateJust, the sales rep replies, “Two just came in.” In my case, neither was what I wanted so I passed. However within a few months, my local AD texted me with a picture of the one I wanted and yes, I bought it. I’m a huge fan of the DJ. Mine is quite understated and it’s always special to wear it.
