  2. Go over to the Rolex Forum, search 116610 Delete the Ln. There are pages of them for sale. From what I see, that price(yours) is too high, as there are good reputable sellers selling used random serial number models for around 6700-6800 USD. and many of these guys will wheel and deal, so if you offered them a hundred dollars less, they might take it. There are lots of these watches for sale, Rolex is churning out thousands of them, so to answer your question, they are not a good investment. They will probably hold their value pretty well, but if you wear it and it gets to be several years old, I doubt that you are going to get to within 500-1000 USD of you purchase price, so if you buy one for 6800 USD today and wear it for 3-4 years and sell it, probably going to be looking at around 6300 - 6500 USD depending on condition. But it will sell for the same price if you paid 7200.00 USD for it, so in that case you are taking a thousand dollar hit as opposed to 300-400 USD if you buy it right Don't buy watches for and investment, buy them to wear and enjoy. If you are lucky enough to own one that does appreciate, that's just gravy, as most don't. Rolex is somewhat unique as there are not many grey market or non AD sellers out there, but look at other brands like Omega, Tag, Breitling, etc. They are discounted like crazy and pity the poor guy who pays full price from and AD! Six months down the line he tries to sell his mint condition Omega, only to find out that you can buy one from a non AD seller brand new for less than he wants. If he had done his research, he would have seen the same watch he owns selling for 35% off, online!! Last Christmas, I bought my wife a Tag Aquaracer midsize with a MOP dial with diamond indices and a diamond bezel for 1700.00 USD it was a watch that had been a display model, came with all the boxes, papers and a full warranty, had a few swirlies on the clasp that polished right off. We priced the exact same watch at and AD in Florida a few months before and it was 3500.00 USD plus 8% tax!! You got to do your homework before you buy. Don't jump at the first deal out there, especially with current contemporary watches that are out there by the thousands.

  5. There's no need to throw it away mate. Send it to a modder or repair guy to glue it back. Do pull out the crown and hack the movement to prevent more damage. Good luck.

  6. Use aftermarket 20mm Rolex bars in your monster Works perfectly and the safest you can ever get! But the ones you have should be more than enough http://www.ebay.com/itm/20mm-x-2mm-Stainless-Steel-SPRING-BARS-PIN-6538-5513-CONNERY-BOND-WATCH-BAND-/321222264467?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aca56c693

  10. It's pretty addictive. Sometimes it wanes for a while, you might get involved in other hobbies, kids sports, etc, but it's sort of like a cancer, it's always lurking right below the surface and one day when you least expect it WAM!!! It's back in full force consuming you and your every moment. Mine is seasonal, like allergies, it lessens in the summer, because I spend a huge amount of time outdoors and stay pretty busy, between work and keeping up the "plantation" as my wife calls it, but come late fall and winter, less to do outside, days are shorter and it's back with a vengeance.

  11. That's what I figured in the end. I initially thought the logo wouldve stood out like the lume numbers but now I know it is actually reflective, so I can see why it wouldnt show up . I approved the QC photos yesterday so now it's just a matter of waiting! :-) Thanks for everyone's input! I guess the first one is the hardest, so I figure I'll still buy others from this TD. watch this space for the grand opening!! ;-) DD
