Just picked up my first "timepiece."

[nyknick]

Like @Diondon said you have to try it on to see what fits you best. If you have a small wrist then you're in luck because you can pick up a 36mm vintage Day-Date for the same price as a new Datejust 41 (around 10-11k). While bigger and newer Day-Dates go for 30k.


Also like @Diondon said when you're spending that type of money make sure the dealer is legit, I wouldn't buy it from random ebay accounts. Ocwatchguy and DavidSW are well known, especially DavidSW, as legit. The Datejust II link I posted I have no clue about the guy (lawrenceb) but that Wimbledon dial is

Day-Date vintage (from 1985 and no boxes or papers)
Rolex Day Date 18038 Yellow Gold - OCWatchGuy

Datejust 41 (all come with boxes and papers and their retail price is $13,250)
Rolex 126333 Datejust 18K/SS with Champagne Stick Dial on Jubilee - David SW
Rolex 126333 Datejust 41 18K/SS with White Stick Dial on Oyster - David SW
Rolex 126333 Datejust 41 18K/SS with Black Stick Dial on Jubilee - David SW

Datejust II
FS: Rolex Datejust II 116333 Wimbledon 18k/SS.



Now it's all subjective but personally I'm not a fan of vintage two-tone DJs you posted. To me these old, small two-tones give off grandpa vibes. But then again they cost a lot less than newer ones

A lil under the radar gem I've been meaning to take a serious look at someday.

 

[Bumrush Bros.]

Budget is $10k. I like the gold presidential rolex as well. Fluted bezel doesnt really matter to me. Does it make a difference? School me on that. Idk which size either. Was going to go to a rolex store to try them on so I can get an idea

Fluted bezel will hold up much better over the years than smooth. My daily is a black face white gold bezel date just and it is the perfect watch for me.

Dawgs, the blue dial is calling to me
But the rhodium or black is the more sensible choice

 

[Rich Spirit]

I wouldn’t worry about watch prices, just get watches that you like. I love seiko’s, one of the most reliable watches I ever had plus I loved modding it when I had it.
