Opinon On Watch

Heres the eBay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191681305678...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Your probably wondering why the hell I want a ladies rolex, tell you the truth I have a small wrist and I'm buying the watch for MYSELF, so it really doesn't matter what anyone thinks of a "smaller face" on my wrist, it's for me haha. Would anyone be able to tell by the pictures provided if this watch is the real deal? Thanks in advance.

1 - Had no way of knowing if you are a male or female unless mentioned by you as you did.
2 - Wear what makes you happy. No need to explain. That said, a 24mm? Can't phantom how small a wrist that this will look fine other than to you, but your money. A 26mm on a petite woman is tiny.
3 - Yeah, looks OK but heck if I want my first Rolex from some guy selling a Rolex and a guitar. Just because that is what you see does not mean that is what you will get.

Out of curiosity, what is the measurement of your wrist?

OP, If you visit an AD and try some watches, you'll find the size and style that appeals to you. Before the modern shift to 40mm watches, 34mm (Rolex Date and Rolex Air King) and 36mm (Rolex Datejust and Rolex Explorer) were standard men's sizes. You might find that you like them once you put them on. Good luck with your search.

What he said.
I really think you will love a 36mm when you try it on. It's a perfect size for your wrist, which coincides with that of my dad's.
This is what it looks like on him, right before I readjusted the clasp post having it serviced.



A 24 will be way, way too small for you and totally out of character for a man.

My wife was just seriously worried about me as I put her watch on and took this photo.
Here is a 26mm, obviously larger than the 24mm you were inquiring about.
I have a 6 1/2 wrist, just ever so slightly larger than yours.

Lastly, a 40mm on my 6 1/2 wrist.



Best thing to do is try them all on and see how they feel.

Now that is way to big for me haha, I was wanting to go down to this place in LA with my dad called Bobswatches and go and try some one and maybe get one there, but its gonna cost me another $1000, I would have to wait a month or 2 before I'd have that extra cash to spend.

My pleasure.

Remember, it's free to try them on.
Go to a dealer and try them all. You'll be surprised how you go in one way and come out another.
Once you know what you want, shop for it.
