Possibly the most sensible FIRST buy Rolex out there....
Hi guys,

To all you newbies who are planning a FIRST BUY ROLEX......I would strongly recommend this one.

It's got everything you want in a watch.....

- a very solid SS case

- a very dependable, sturdy and accurate 3135 time-proven movement.

- a strong and reliable bracelet, all brushed, which hardly attracts any scratches.

- a beautiful black dial, so easy to read under all and any lighting conditions.

- a whopping TRIPLOCK crown, easy to handle, very secure and very, very waterproof!!

- a very easy to use rotating bezel, cheap to replace in the event of a mishap - a low-maintenance bezel.

- a beautiful, all round watch - sporty, dressy, whatever!!

You just can't beat the SS Sub-date 16610!!

Instant recognition, screams Rolex right across a room, holds its value and will NEVER EVER go out of style!!

And you can take all of the above to the bank!!

No JJ! The Sub is the correct choice for a first timer! Unless its the Yacht-Master which is an even better choice!

That is a beautiful watch, Richard......but a wee bit over the top for a FIRST time Rolex buyer.
