recommendations please

Please be gentle with me ... this is my first post and I don't know if I have posted it in the correct place or whether I should be posting something like this in the first place (even thought I have read the Ts and Cs). Anyway, I digress.....

Can anyone suggest a recommendation for a second-hand Rolex please. I have a kitty of £2,000.

I do like the Black Faced Explorer 2 but I realise this is beyond my budget right now.

Thanks.

You can pick up a 1970-80s Air King for that but bear in mind they are only 34mm so look at one in person before you buy one as they are pretty small by todays standard.

I am not sure what else you could get but unless you really have your heart set on a Rolex you may be better of looking at a half decent used Omega of some kind.

Look for a Watch - Rolex or whatever - you really like and want...then save for it.

Otherwise you’re buying for the wrong reasons.

If you want to show off with a Rolex etc. your budget won’t allow you to do that
