Hey guys,

I've been lurking here for a few weeks now, just went ahead and decided I might as well sign up since I am almost ready to make purchase (I've never owned a Rolex, so I am very excited to get one and get involved in the community here)

Anyways, I've decided to go pre-owned. I haven't been bringing in the income I used to, so I just can't justify spending 20K on a watch (right now at least :) )

Anyways, I have narrowed my options down to a few. I am a BIG fan of diamonds, always have been. I love the diamonds around the dial, I think it is a nice touch to a beautiful watch. Anyways, just want a few opinions on the two watches I am looking at:

A DateJust Steel, with Red Diamond Dial & Bezel:

DateJust Steel, With Diamond Bezel & Dial:

Thank you for any opinions in advance!

Vince

Welcome

I too like you am new to this Forum but have been collecting Rolex [vintage models mostly] for many years

May I suggest that you look at their Vintage models first before you make the purchase decision?
They offer pleasurable adornment/wear & is quite an investment
Cheers
Tom

Welcome Vince,

Can't go past a DJ, thats how I started and its still my favorite Rolex :-)

you have some nice choices there, wander around the reviews section there should be some write up's on DJ's.

Good luck with the search, tell us when you get the new piece :-)

Enjoy,

Dave.
