Advisory : Recommendation for first Rolex?

[Oceanklassik]

Hi bro,
Thank you so much for the info. Another newbie question, should I get a new or preowned rolex?

There are some threads here discussing this, that you can search and read up. Different people; different views. In short, if buy to wear and 'flip' (re-sell), get a pre-owned. If buy to wear (or don't wear) and keep for good, get a new one. Personal choice

DateJust 178271

Got my Daytona 2 weeks ago, looking for DateJust 178271 but the retailer I went did not have stock. Any recommendation?
Any different if watch is from Taiwan?
Anyone know the price?

Hi all elder. I m a newbie here. Planning to get my 1st Rolex. In my mind there are 2 options. Batman 116710blnr or green hulk 116610lv. Which is recommended for the 1st watch? Thanks

Batman. More versatile and generally better resale value.

The new oyster perpetual 39mm also is a classic in my opinion

Would a daytona be good?

Thanks for all the replies!

After taking a look at the sub physically, find it a little small when worn on my wrist. I think it's also partly because I tend to wear big watches - 44mm and above.

Now I'm tempted towards the dssd. Nice size but looks super thick!
Anyone use it as a daily watch?

Actually the Explorer II might be a better option and more cost effective. It is smaller at 42mm but the dial size might be larger vs the DSSD. Don't think there is anything larger

[undertaker]

why dont they go larger size for their watches?

Have you scour thru' the sales sections here to get a sense of the pricing? These are the more recent ones:

The retail price locally should still be $12,010 but I am not sure how much higher the local ADs are now selling.
