I’ve had two of these in the past and am just about to buy another one so I may well be biased. However I do think that these represent the best second hand value of the range? Given that their rrp is over £10k, you can pick up used ones from under £8k.

On some of the watch forums, these seem a bit marmite because of the sheer size of them.

What are other people’s thoughts about these brutes?

Saw one recently in a Watchfinder store, not really a Rolex fan but really liked it especially the larger bezel and blue on black face...would prob consider a used one around 7-8k

I bought one in 2013 at a discount (imagine)

I owned it for a few years but despite trying of various Rubber B straps I could NEVER get it to feel comfortable!

At the time I often wore 48mm watches so it wasn’t just the size!

They have odd proportions because of the height and the relatively small bracelet (even on the latest one) but they feel unbelielievably well engineered, like a 90s S Class!

The new one is a massive improvement proportionally. Still silly big looking if you are of normal build. Generally, they are the reserve of the obese.
