How to go about buying a stainless steel Rolex as a new buyer

[NewRolexer]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy my first Rolex so unfortunately I haven’t got a history with any AD. After months of saving I have decided I want to purchase a Batman, Pepsi or ceramic Daytona - I want a piece that can also be an investment and will hold its value.

With these being so hard to get, what are my options? How can I go about buying one without a history with an AD, I only want to pay retail.

Thanks for any replies, hope everyone here had a good Christmas and New Year!
