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.
