There’s no such thing as a “starter” rolex, it is a new money concept. A rolex is a rolex, you buy the one that suits your personality/use and for what it stands for.

[@hallovelo2478]

Rolex will just not sell it to you, they want you to buy their crap they couldn't sell.

[@benbaggen2375]

My advice for a 1st watch, buy something that holds it value......everyone regrets there 1st purchase 😂

[@Infamous_wu13]

I don’t regret my Deepsea blue, amazing watch

[@ysl7218]

You never really know what’s going to hold vaule these days tho.

[@EDDIE5918]

Like my wife!

[@Jackaroo.]

So in other words, don’t buy a watch, and buy a piece of real estate instead.

[@tsurumonetally4531]

​@Infamous_wu13 how long did it take for you to get it from the authorized dealer?

My first Rolex just purchased this week was the new air-king. I love this watch. 🍷 coming from strictly buying gshocks, my last and most expensive watch purchased was the gwg-20001a5 … great gshock, forged carbon and crystal sapphire. But this air king, wow! Cheers to all the first time buyers !

[@Crmjewelers]

Congrats 👍

[@iamkyleclimer]

That’s one heck of a jump bro! so what’s the reason behind it? what’s the story? how come you didn’t buy other cheaper watches first before jumping into rolex? I’m not hating I am genuinely curious. I was thinking of getting other cheaper ones until then but I do want a rolex

[@albanianwolf316]

@@iamkyleclimerho hard once not slowly up, you end ussing more money to buy why not save and buy that Rolex

[@X11CHASE]

@@iamkyleclimerword of advice brother, although a Rolex is a bit of a jump from the watches you’re thinking of, the Rolex will still preserve more value so you can enjoy some jewelry while having a better exit strategy, and affecting your net worth less. If you can still eat and provide for yourself after buying the Rolex, it’s a better deal!

16622 is my all time favorite. Sporty and dressy at the same time. Platinum bezel for a decent price. Keep up the good work. 👏🏻

GTFO of here. A ROLEX is a ROLEX.. and where I’m from, just having a Rolex, not mattering which one it is, as long as it looks nice, would turn a shit load of heads and get a ton of compliments.

[@lisandrolopez4616]

hard times for the watch dealers

[@arercee5528]

The good thing about buying a Rolex as your first big watch is that most of them are guaranteed to retain all their value (as long as you don’t get some odd color or two toned watch that sells poorly). I really want a Speedmaster but I refuse to spend $7k on it knowing it will lose half its value immediately. With omegas and such, I really recommend you buy something used. They depreciate to about 50% and then retain the value.

[@jblackjack]

Your budget may differ vastly.

[@dukes70]

First Rolex recommend older SS DJ engine turned bezel $3-5K, not $8-13K!

[@Klingard]

Don't get Explorer because once you have the explorer, you don't want anything else.

[@stilletto111]

Hello. My grandfather handed me his 2 rolex, he told me that he bought it years ago. I’m ready to sell it now. But i don’t know if it’s both authentic, any way i could contact you so you could check it yourself if it’s legit both. I’d like to sell them $3000 for both if proven authentic. I have the datejust and the sea-dweller.

Stay away from Rolex. It’s a mass produced watch with nothing to back it other than great marketing. With far less money you can buy yourself a used Patek or Breguet and start off on the right foot. Don’t fall for the trap of fashion or at least don’t consider yourself a watch enthusiast
