My current set up, I may buy some more GA-2100's The metal versions are going up in price as we speak. The green will be the hardest to obtain.
Currently at the 4 stores in my area that are authorized G-Shock booths……they have none of the GA-2100 models…….its all grey market now.
The purple and black one is selling for 600$

@leoaa777
Was this your choice on configuration? Or was this what was available?
Goes against the grain of the typical DJ in just about every aspect, aside from dial color…I'm not mad at it tbh

In my mind, fluted plus jubilee is too loud, so it would have to be either fluted/oyster or jubilee/flat bezel.
I’m absolutely in love. The azzurro dial is incredible and the polished Roman numerals match the polished bezel. So when he texted me, I said mine.

On the other hand, modern date-function rolex with roman numerals AND a blue dial. What more does he REALLY need? Could be a "one and done" collection piece in all honesty.
Smiles in 126715. Flying to ***** later today and will be out there a week. Will likely take a spin around some ADs at some point just to see what the market looks like over there.

For sure! But the rare ones or the new metal ones you cannot ;( Same atmosphere as Rolex and other higher end models…..head to the grey market for the good ones that you actually want.

In ***** collaborating on some crypto projects. Go to a seaside shisha spot to link up with some guys. The 26 year old founder of a project i'm working with pulls up in his modded gwagon, balenciaga hoodie, goyard man-bag, and the motherfuking 126715. Was salty as fuhhhhhhhhhk. Literally never seen this watch in the wild, of course it's like the very first watch i see in *****.

So my AD called today and notified he was able to get me the GMT Black/Blue on an Oyster Bracelet (i.e. "Batman"). I wanted it on a jubilee ("Batgirl" no homo) but given today's market, beggars can't be choosers, so I took it. I have it here now brand new still in box. What are my options if I want to switch the oyster bracelet to jubilee? Based on my limited research, it seems like it's not exactly an easy task…
(A) Should I contact a grey market dealer and see if they would be open to a swap? Batman for Batgirl? I see DavidSW has this unworn Batgirl in stock.
https://davidsw.com/shop/watch/rolex...on-jubilee-40/
(B) Source a jubilee bracelet off eBay and have it changed?
(C) Just keep it on the Oyster?
Also, this is the second piece my AD was able to get me. Should I get him a small gift or something? (no homo).
Please respond.

You should be able to get back the cost or even more if you sell the oyster since your AD isn't supposed to sell it to you unless you can provide proof of a model that allows it. I would keep both and get a Bergeon 7825 and use both.

EDIT: I just googled Bergeon 7825. I see so it's a tool that would allow me to interchange the bracelets myself? That would be a huge plus not having to run to the AD everytime I want to swap them. I'd be afraid I'd damage the watch though…

I've been on several wait lists for nearly a year now for any colorway sub w/date, and GMT II, nada. I started reaching out to other AD's out of state, and was told several times that they can only sell to locals per a 2021 rolex rule… fuark.
One local deal straight up told me "A ton of people have recently realized the investment benefits of a rolex, something that will maintain or increase its value, and have been trying to scoop up everything they can find. My phone actually rings anywhere from 200-300 times per day asking about these pieces…"
Guess I'll just LDAR.
