I was kinda thinking OP is thinking about a new one.
A used one changes everything. It is an awesome choice.
FWIW...........
I had a datejust SS fluted bezel bought in Frankfurt airport in 85 for $625. I was 27.
SS/gold was $1,400 but did not have the credit limit on my card. LOL. Solid gold - $4k. Back when you could buy a baby Benz for $10k if you did the Europe delivery thing. Reagan. Dollar was strong like a boss.
Traded the SS for a couple of root canals and various dental work in my kid's head last year.
It was a good run. Loved the thing but wearing it tapered off. Honestly, because I have an IPhone that tells time.
