Need some recommendations on getting my first Rolex.. well, being my first, i completely know nuts about it.. still, always wanting to own a Rolex for good... am looking for something simple... maybe the Datejust.. however, probably will change it to leather strap, as bracelets not really my thing... any suggestions? And mind telling me the RSP for it as well.. thanks!
Edit: i should state my budget.. its about RM35k max.. don't mind pre-loved

IMHO ... I would get something less common, like a GMT, current reference or previous. The 2nd time zone function is so much more useful. I have also seen some used Batmans going for around that budget too.
Alternatively Explorer II is still quite "underpriced" if compared to Subs & GMTs ... still below 30k new. And the previous reference 16570 is tremendously value at <20k used.
Happy shopping & good luck !

Does anyone still consider the Rolex Milgauss these days?It’s a beautiful watch. It’s quirky and it’s different. It is however kinda difficult to wear as a daily. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180402/05cae42677077bc81b94c30a583a7fcf.jpg)

Within 30k- explorer or air king
Within 40k - subs
But if it is just having Rolex brand and celebatation purpose, I believe datejust can be your daily beater.

Hi all, sorry cant help but to join this interesting topic. I was told by my sales manager, his sub no date increase value 20% annually. Could it be possible? His advise me to buy 1 preowned Rolex for keeping. Since i had tudor pelagos, I am very impressed by their build and feel of titanium. It is so soft. I plan to liquid my FD and put on one Rolex if it could give me at least 4% increase. He can take me to AD for a new Sub no date black dial anytime using his name to purchase but i feel preowned is much cheaper and have higher chance to profit.
The “20% increase annually” is due to speculation and the “shortage of stainless steel sports Rolex”. I would rather keep my money in FD and have 21.8% interest in five years at 4% per annum with compound interest. At least it is liquid, and if I suddenly have a need for cash, it’s there...for a watch, you only get what you want if there is a willing buyer. No willing buyer, habis la...
Rolex is no big deal...just a watch. Buy if you have extra disposable income and should not be treated as an investment. Don’t know why and where people get notions that it’s an investment.

You may buy if you really like to wear it.

Although, if you're open to other brands, an omega speedmaster at around 15k is really hard to beat
Post by: meoramri on November 23, 2018, 04:45:16 PM
I'd go for an Explorer 1 or an oyster perpetual

I agree. Go for Explorer 1 or an oyster perpetual as your first Rolex. Definitely a keeper and one of the most versatile timepiece under the brand.
