I can't believe people argue over watch sizes! I'm a watchaholic and it is the 1st accessory that I notice on people. I've seen all sizes being worn and I don't think it is fair to criticize certain sizes and styles. They're all beautiful IMO - 2 tone, ss, gold, or ceramic - 26, 31 or 36 etc. What works for one person might not be someone else's favorite. But I don't think people should label or critique one's choice of any jewelry item or accessory.

Agreed!
 
Chanel girl, I wanted to ask you.......

I am new to rolex and just purchased my first one....I do love it, but in the event in the future I should want to upgrade or just want something different for any reason (I will only have one) ....

I was interested in knowing how you went about it......did you just trade it in or sell it? If you sold it, how did you go about doing that? Or where? I noticed someone else on here said they traded theirs in....so rolex may potentially give a fair trade value?

Anyone is welcome to comment if they have gotten rid of one and purchased another...
 
I had mine listed on The Rolex Forums and ebay and had better luck with ebay since the Men's Rolexes seem to do much better on there then the ladies. I think some AD's will accept trade in's but what they can give you can vary significantly.
 
Chagall, thanks for bringing back my old thread! I guess I should update it, I actually sold my ladies at the end of July and bought the Midsize (same exact watch except in midsize) the first week in Aug. and I LOVE it! My midsize TT MOP Diamond Dial is in my avatar :love:
It's really pretty!

I love the larger sizes too, I have 2 that are 36mm and one that's 34. I love that size on me.
 
Hi, I know this is old thread but would like to ask you and people's experience and advice, if you don't mind.

I got 26 mm size, exact similar one of this OP,
just for a half years ago and still newer condition. I now really regret i did not get 31mm..i really want bigger size 31mm now, but trade in price for 26mm only gives me back $4200...i paid 10.000 on my 26mm and still 1 1/2 years old.
Do you think is it crazy to pay $7000 to get 31mm for trade my 26mm as only $4000??

Thanks for your help!!!
 
If I would trade in my Rolex at a jewelers I would only get 1/2 the price they might sell it for. So I consigned mine at a reputable site and actually made money on them (more than I paid- though I did buy pre-owned). Just a thought, you would probably get more selling them than trading them in.

Ugh, that's a lot to lose...but if you won't be satisfied with the 26mm it's prob worth it!!

Yep, ridiculous huh...Oh well, I will never trade in. Thankfully I've got a great advice from a tpfer, I would sell at better place, or I just keep 26mm for my elegant outfit as it is. I love my 26 mm as well. I will just save up for a new 31mm in different style! :D
Thanks for your input!
