First Rolex

[Carterpaules]

Hello, I have recently got interested into watches and have decided to purchase my first Rolex. I was wondering if purchasing a Sky Dweller in yellow gold would be not a good choice as my only watch. I am currently 19 and am going to college. Would i be able to get away with wearing this watch everyday? Or should I look at something like the platinum Daytona?

Either one is fine for a college kid..

Love the yellow gold sky! Go for it and be careful wearing it

[AJM914]

My friends got one.....love it

I do have a pretty small wrist.. i guess ill have a better idea when i go to the AD

I would say either would be appropriate for your freshman year.

Sophomore. I've been looking at different watches for over 4 months trying to decide on one but I really haven't fell in love with any particular one yet.

I would be happier if you bought a SS first and a Solid Gold second, so that you could wear them according to your activities.

But, there is no problem wearing Gold everyday, as many have done here, because they are Tough, Very tough...

You have fine taste.
The 116506 is a grail to many including myself.

I suggest the 326935 as oppose to the 326938, rose gold is far more attractive being hip and fresh. It can be spotted from across the lecture hall, and many will notice it.
Your choices are between a date and non-date; I am sure a date will be useful for school, you should buy both and call it a day. Unless budget does not allow. To be known only able to have one gold watch looks cheap.

What are you studying? That may tell a little about your lifestyle and which piece would suit you best.

I hope you're a whole lot different than I was in college. I wouldn't have trusted the "college me" with anything more than a Seiko SKX007. I also can't imagine how badly a student in my fraternity would have been hazed had he showed up wearing a solid gold Rolex.

With the money you lay out for either choice, you could get more bang for your buck by getting something like a gold sub or GMT and a really nice steel piece, or two.

I'm assuming your finances are in order and student debt isn't an issue. In that case, get what you like. They're all equally great choices.

If you are 19 and are getting a Sky Dweller you have go to class on the first day and say.. this:

Dude...why are you slumming it with those watches as your first?

You need to up your game since you're just starting college with first impressions and all. Get a RM Tourbillion, AP RO Grande Complication, or a PP Ref5016P...you'll thank me later.

I was also thinking of getting a gold Daytona and an AP royal oak.

[Carterpaules]

In regards to Brazen C5 I personalty dont like RM. The Ap is a little out of my price range and PP 5016p is too formal

[themast]

You seem to have a quite public profile on the net. I would change your nickname to avoid the wrong attentions.

Sorry, given your young age and the watches you are considering I got curious and I googled your name.

I would advice for an SD4k or an explorer I or II

[brandrea]

Either would be a Grail worthy choice, lets us know how the AD visit goes

lol... WOOOOO

[TickTockChuck]

I'd go for a gold Daytona if I was a young gentleman and had the means. It's more sporty and youthful IMHO. Be aware yellow gold really attracts attention whether that matters to you or not. Good luck and please share pictures with us. Cheers!

Smart move. Trying it on first is an absolute must. Many have settled on a watch, tried it on, and ultimately decided that it wasn't for them.
Good luck with your decision which is always part of the fun.

When I was in college Rolex was really common but everyone was wearing Submariners and GMTs. If you really want to stand out of the crowd, the Sky Dweller in yellow gold will really up your status.

Platona for sure

I would get an SS now and reward yourself with a PM one if you graduate with a first class degree.

Hi,

I would like to respectfully suggest that you forego the watch for now and instead focus on your studies with the goal of getting the best grades you can possibly achieve. Also inquire with your professors if there are opportunities to do additional research projects outside of your regular classes.

Prior to the end of each undergraduate school year, you should research & apply for every available summer internship you can find. In addition, identify and perform some community service work, and complete any other kind of volunteer work you can find as well.

Please set aside your extra money and save it towards enrolling in a graduate MBA program after completing your undergraduate studies. MBA degrees are 'de rigueur' for pursuing any kind of business career. Your entire life's 'mantra' right now should be doing everything you can to make yourself as 'hire-able' as possible.

When you achieve the MBA degree and land your first good job, then think about getting a Rolex. Trust me, you'll appreciate it a thousand times more.

Kindest regards, -Rick.
