Which cheaper Rolex model is more worthwhile to get?

I believe it is not the current models.

Please share your views.

I dun find Rolex watches are cheap. To me they are very expensive

[slowrider_79]

"Cheaper" is subjective depending on the depth of pockets vs what you deem as a value buy. Cheapest will be unsigned Rolexes which you may find sometimes in flea markets for under $1k. One of the most well known Oyster Rolex will be the Ref:6694. Sports models wise, most likely Explorer 1?

Good luck on your hunt!

depends on your budget and if you are looking to buy new or 2nd hand.

[skydweller_sg]

Really depends on price range and the model/series
How cheap is cheap? 5k? 7k? 10k?
Current models are all going almost 5figures now
Even old preown sports model can cost 6-7k

If i were to recommend:

If you like watches with a dive bezel, go for the Sub No Date 14060M. Brand new ard $7.4k+
If you like simple watch and couldn't care about a black bezel, then the 214270 Exp 1 is a good choice. Brand new also $7.4k+.

both dont have date function - ok if date is not a requirement

Maybe it is easier if you could just view it in your own perspective.

I am unable to find a 1k Rolex in working condition and not too lousy exterior condition.
Explorer 1 is good choice though price is on the high side.

Ask for suggestions is good idea, but no need to follow the herd,
Ignore the market value, go with your heart.

Imagine the watch you can wear with your family during home cooked dinner and feeling happy

I have enough watches to switch around. I guess so.
So looking for some "market value" but not too ex watch.

I do agree with u when I was getting my 1st few watches.

[watchcollectables21]

I decided to go for a 1601 Datejust. These were considerably cheaper in comparison with popular sports models.

Yes, searching for good deal is always part of the fun in watch collecting
