and wait some more...
you'll find one that is in good condition and for decent money.
unless you have a preference for a manual winding oyster, i'd go for the 1501 (if they were both priced similarly and both in good condition).“Watches, no matter how much they cost, are better at telling time than making a person happy.†- Thomas J. Stanley

6694 good entry level Rolex. I started on it 20years ago. Never looked back. As with cars, must get a model where you can get parts readily and cheap. 6694 is the one. And its affordable.
However, look out for modifications and non-original parts. Always ask to remove the caseback to check. Familiarize yourself with the markings on the movement for the 6694. Many out there have had updated/remodelled dials so unless you get one that is tarnished (99% chance its original), the dial may not be original.
Hope the above helps.
