Rolex 116334 vs 126334
« on: July 01, 2020, 06:40:20 PM »
Should I go for a second hand 116334 year 2011 for below 30k or buy a new 126334 at retail price ?

Depending on what you are going for, the newer updated version has a lower profile and comes with the new 3235 movement with 70hr power reserve among others..

126334 at retail from AD. No doubts about that decision.

126300 is shiny smooth bezel whereas 126334 is 18k fluted bezel which is the classic Datejust design , both 41mm either jubilee or modern stainless steel strap , same movement...

Big price difference then. The shiny smooth bezel is steel and fluted is 18k gold

i would get the 126334...
the dial is nicer IMO
here is 126200 for my wife.
i kinda fall in love with it too actually but 36mm a bit too small for me.
the rounded bezel is nicer than the 41mm flat bezel.

Apart from the blue dial, the Wimbledon dial is one of my favourite. Good choice!

Did you ask for discount? Ive heard from friends that AD do provide discount, but on what judgement, Im not too sure. Probably for less sought after models.
