How high is this? And the dealer. Please advise what you think is a reasonable price for a 5119R-001 Rose Gold Calatrava with box and papers. Description says near mint. Strap looks near new. US dealer. Thanks.

This is as cheap as I've seen but still seems very pricey to me. It is a rose gold case and rose gold movement. But there are a lot of other pieces in this price range. Really love this one though, am I dreaming to think this will be in the $30's one day?

What do we think the right price on this one is?

"A highly collectible Rolex Explorer II Ref. 1655, featuring the coveted MK1 “Straight Hand” configuration, serial 3.362XXX, dating to circa 1971. The stainless steel case is in excellent condition, having been polished in the past, and shows light wear consistent with age. The original MK1 tritium dial is very good, with eggshell patina and perfectly matching tritium hands. The bezel is a later Rolex service replacement in excellent condition. The watch is fitted with a period-correct Mexican Jubilee bracelet, which shows very light stretch for its age and complements the vintage look beautifully. The caseback was recently replaced by Rolex Geneva due to damage, and the serial and reference numbers between the lugs remain well defined. This watch has just returned from a full service by Rolex Geneva in 2024 and is offered in excellent overall condition. An iconic and increasingly rare early Explorer II — the “Steve McQueen” — combining vintage character with modern Rolex service peace of mind."



For background, I kind of think unpolished all original isn't the be all end all, I value serviced and no headaches and much as I value all original and dealing with vintage nonsense, I rarely sell anything so these are not investments. I like to wear these things and I am less concerned with impressing the vintage bros. My family can deal with the bad decisions I make when I die and they can go to sell them.I dont view this as being cheap. Theoretically I can afford the unpolished and all original version and know exactly what I am doing here but I also dont like spending that much just to baby a watch.

Knowing all of that, all of these serviced but kind of sort of mostly maybe a little original watches have a value. This one isnt the worst possible frankenthing so there is some value. I just have no idea what the right price should be.

Any words of wisdom? That is the exact wrong price for me but there has to be a correct price. Teens?

Please also feel free to disagree and say "no - not under any circumstances bro." The counterargument that this is just a waste of money is also valid.

One of my grail list items. Catch a Tarpon

another is catch some big snook. I have several bull red over 45” one 47”. A good guide recommendation and the best time without fighting crowds. At this point I would rather catch numbers vs targeting giant fish. We have tarpon on the Texas coast but they are hard to find..

hi, is 20K a reasonable price on this omega: 210.60.44.51.03.001

pricing on the internet is all over the map but lower prices are consignments on auction websites, ghost listings, or outside the US.

is this the kind of watch you think you'll eventually come across in the grail hunt (should I hold out for a while?) or is this one you're unlikely to come across in the next let's say 6 months?
