  That's perfect, love the seats. I have a soft spot for the hideous maroon colour with uterus purple interior....

  Depending on your plans it's unlikely you'll need a 4x4 unless you're planning on going bush or doing some beach driving.

  The big Holden will be more than adequate for that drive.

  That guy was literally driving with fingertips at times, looks like a beautiful car to hustle along at speed.

  Till the end of November. Been looking seriously for a while now but it's taken a while to narrow down the choices

  Cheers @freddo very helpful.

  Since it's a 40th for my wife I'm less concerned over cost, more about quality.

  I did think the grain in the brushed lugs was a bit coarse but the case hadn't been over polished and the fluted bezel was good.

  I might go back in and ask to see inside the case.

  For reference I can buy a very similar watch on chrono24 for a good $3000 less but that has an element of risk and I don't like gambling.

  Thanks @freddo I have attached a bad phone pic...
  The store guarantees authenticity and while they're not Rolex AD they are happy for me to get the watch inspected by one. They say it's original 1990 spec. Serviced by them with a 2 year warranty. It all feels very legit and they've been in business for 30+ years BUT I know I'm paying location and probable tourist tax given that they are in the famous QVB Sydney.

  Rolex 67518, 18k gold, champagne sunburst dial in very good condition and 30mm. I found one in a local antiques dealer (wife's 40th gift)... Stoked, it's the right watch, and from a reputable dealer. But the price... Ouch! Can't quite decide if it's good value or widely outrageous!

  Wholesalers? I'm with @ChasnotRobert... When looking for someone else I'd rather a dealers lot full of cars. Having just done this for my sister in law, driving around to various private sellers is a pain.
