Newbie Here, Hi
Just bought my first Rolex today!
My grandfather and father had them and I always wanted one. I am 38 now and finally got one! I bought a 1987 Datejust with the 2 tone SS and 18k with a blue dial and the jubilee band....I bought it from a reputable dealer in watches in my town after looking all over the internet....I couldnt pull the trigger to buy one off of ebay, too nervous....This dealer gave me a full 1 year warranty and sold it to me today (after a little haggling) for $2K. From what I have seen, I believe I got a decent deal on watch I have always wanted! Any Tips? Thank You |

Just spend a little extra money
If you spend a little extra money the watch it will be fantastic, this is mine one from 1982. I have the bracelet away for a de stretch at the moment to finish the job. Best of Luck with your new watch.
