People who want a Rolex watch for mostly special occasions should seek out their dressier or showier models in precious metals and perhaps with diamonds. These watches will be used as wealth and status symbols and thus don't need to go along with all types of outfits or occasions. Otherwise, you'll look like a South American drug lord wearing a diamond-encrusted gold Rolex in your workout clothes.
On the flip side, a mere Rolex Submariner isn't likely to deliver the right message if you are trying to impress people at a high-society event or executive luncheon. Before you read the important thoughts below from fellow experts, our friends at Minus4Plus6 have uploaded the full list of Rolex watch retail prices here.
Once again, we visit our panel of experts for supporting or alternative views as to what your first Rolex watch should be:. I don't think there is a better buy in the world than a s or 70s Rolex Datejust. The watch is a true icon, imitated but never duplicated, you get a fantastic movement, and everyday wearability. I also think the Oyster Perpetuals and Air Kings are excellent first-time buyer watches, but the Datejust I think has a bigger upside down the road financially and it is 36mm though it wears larger whereas the others are 35mm and smaller.
A Submariner or is also an excellent choice for a first time buyer, though they are slightly more expensive - sport watches tend to fetch significantly more money than "non-sport watches". But of course there is larger demand and higher possibility that these sport watches will increase in value over time. The Day-Date, sometimes known as the "President" though incorrectly, that refers to a bracelet often found on the Day-Date , is also an incredible value if someone is looking for a solid gold watch.
Yellow gold Day-Dates from the 70s sell for a literal fraction of the current retail price, and again, they are very much the same watch. With Rolex as with many things is life I am a classicist and I like things simple. My vote for first Rolex purchased is the steel and white gold Oyster Perpetual Datejust with a black dial.
I think this model suits either men or women. It will fit most people perfectly, not only in terms of appearance but also in terms of 'requirements'. These iconic watches will keep good value as well. Although you will lose a bit of value in the first few years, after the annual indexing by Rolex, the prices of pre-owned models also go up.
After a few years you will at least get back what you paid for it and from that moment on, everything extra is a bonus. However, I wouldn't think of a Rolex watch as an investment. There are better and easier ways to earn money. Another advice is to stick to stainless steel.
The satin brushed bracelet of the Submariner will keep its good looks forever if you properly take care of it. The No Date wasn't chronometer certified and the Date version was. However, Rolex took care of this a couple of years ago and now all Submariner models have been chronometer certified.
So, the difference between a Date and No Date Submariner is merely one of convenience or aesthetics. What do you like best? Do you need a date feature on your watch? A Rolex Submariner with Date also means you get the magnifying lens or cyclops on top of the crystal. This is not to everyone's liking. In the end, you decide! I would either pick a Submariner NoDate because of its clean looks or a pre-owned Rolex Sea-Dweller because of the date feature - but without the cyclops.
Best of both worlds! Buying vintage is a whole different chapter. You might not want to go there if this will be your first watch. The ideal first Rolex is the one you have to have and can't live without. You should not buy your first Rolex because the price is right, or because of the status.
You should never compromise, and should get exactly what you want. This brings up the second part of your first question, about whether or not to buy a new or used Rolex. Typically, if you buy a pre-loved Rolex you will save money and not bite the depreciation bullet. However, there is something to be said for the experience of going to an AD and picking out a brand-new watch and knowing everything about the watch is authentic.
I actually pre-paid for my first Mac and picked it up the first day it was available to the public. It has pretty much remained a rule, that with every Rolex I have owned over the last 30 years, and I have owned many, that I am always able to purchase them, and when it comes time to sell them, I have never lost a penny, so I basically got to wear the Rolex watches for free, and that speaks volumes.
It is stylish enough for work and everyday wear yet classically elegant for any occasion. Everything is perfect about this model from the size, the dial, the bracelet and the brushed steel. It is one of the most popular luxury sport watches in the world and has consistently held its value over the years. Many first time Rolex buyers that I know, chose a Datejust or Submariner. It seems that other models are usually for the more seasoned watch collector. Safe bet: Sub no date used or if you want the flashier ceramic bezel.
Small wrist or no love for sporty designs: Date Just. I prefer the models that don't have the signed rehut and all of these versions over the which, while sporting a 42mm case, looks wonky with its maxi dial large hands and markers.
These will have to be sourced pre-owned but will likely hold their value if treated well and serviced occasionally. For you.
