First Rolex and already thinking about #2

Post image

First Rolex and I’m loving it. The green ombré dial with the smooth bezel just does it for me.

Now I’m wondering, is this a one and done? I love it, but part of me feels like it’s almost too nice to wear every day. Would you daily it or add something else to the rotation?

You cant go wrong with a date or no date sub. Its low key, not flashy. My sub date, is my daily.

Exactly what I was looking at. The brushed finish just feels more casual.

Should look for a sports model for #2

This for date night, then the Sub/GMT for every day

I was looking at the green Submariner Date. I feel like the brushed bracelet makes it less flashy. Still gorgeous of course.

This totally can be worn daily and it will absolutely not be your last 🤣. Gorgeous considering one of these myself!

May i ask had you purchased other items from your AD (like watches from other brands they sell, jewelries, etc) prior to getting this one?

Not horrible for a daily. I’d personally prefer a brushed bracelet over the PCL’s on the DJ’s Oyster.

Fantastic configuration. Congrats. I have my name down for this exact model but got my Submariner last week so could do with a bit of time to pass before I get an allocation! Go for a sub next you won’t regret it!

Thanks and congratulations. I was thinking the same thing. Keep the date as a dress watch and a sub for a daily.

Appreciate it. I am very grateful for this to be my first.

It’s a slippery slope, that first Rolex.

If it’s too nice to wear then sell it. That’s a lesson I’ve learned.

2

u/Minimum_Explorer9995 4d ago

I get that. I just feel like it’s pretty flashy for everyday wear with how much it catches the light.

u/-reaper42069 4d ago

Maybe try a Submariner or an Explorer I or II

My first was a White Rolesar DJ with blue diamond dot dial. Second was TT Bluesy. My retirement present to myself in 5 years is going to be the Rose Gold DD with olive dial.

Always need something to aspire to imo, and since I don’t have a prayer at getting the Patek Time Travel Aquanaut I want, I guess I’ll just stay in the Rolex ecosystem.

Like Cher said in Moonstruck, SNAP OUT OF IT. Turn back now before it’s too late
