Hello everyone, reaching out to the community for advice.

I have an opportunity to purchase the Yacht Master 42 in white gold Oysterflex. This would be my first purchase with Rolex. I have always had a preference for Cartier or Breitling, however this was recommended and wow, it’s beautiful!

However my budget is £15k, so this would put me back financially being just over £25k, it would also delay some other projects for 4 to 6 months. With that being said, it’s nothing I can’t work out, just eat beans and toast for a while haha.

I’m not even sure about insurance on this.

I would like to know what you guys think of this watch, is it a good find, a good investment etc. Would you take this opportunity and purchase?

Any advice or opinions are greatly appreciated.

Prices have been coming down.

I don’t think this will change any time soon. Safe and see what happens. I love this watch but it’s not worth the asking. You might see a time where watches will sell BELOW the MSRP again.

Oh this is interesting, thanks for the info, and thank you to everyone else for commenting.

I'm going to leave it for now and continue to save for a while.
