My first Rolex

Hello everybody,
I have started collecting watches only two years ago. My collection is very small and consists of Maurice Lacroix Calendrier Retrograde and Choard Mille Miglia GT XL. They are both with leather straps (black and brown).
I have decided I need a watch on a bracelet.
I have been looking at Rolex for some time now - I have narrowed my search to few models:
Submariner date (black)/stainless steel
Submariner date LV (green)/stainless steel
Daytona ss - which is nowhere to be bought
Daytona steel/gold - hmmm
Ok - I am 27 years old and not sure if steel/gold watch would look good.
On the other hand - the daytona seems very well fit for a guy my age.
I am buying watches in Singapore/ Hong Kong, but my friend is visiting USA next week and I thought it would also be a good place to shop for a Rolex.
Do you know any shops with good price level, or any that give discounts for Rolex? I would also be very happy to hear your comments and advices on which watch to choose.
Best Regards
Lukasz

Welcome Lukasz,

Hope we can help answer your questions...

Any of those watches are fine choices...and if you say you are collecting...then put them all on a list in the order you want to acquire them...or get one as it becomes available, such as the SS Daytona which is very hard to come by.

...........

Welcome to TRF, Lukasz!

There have been some threads about HK dealers recently. You could do a search and find more information in those threads.

As for what model to choose, I suggest you simply try on the models you have in mind and go for the one that appeals most to you.

Best of luck and have a nice stay in HK!

The Daytona is an amazing watch. Was one of the first Rolexes I really liked, accept the Gold model and the desire kind of faided but is slowly coming back. None of those are a bad choice so if you want a discount see which on an AD can provide it for. The Daytona ins SS would be an instant buy because like you pointed out it is tough to get. The others you can alwys get after. Two tone or all steel is great, tough choice but you will have fune getting them.

I am 27 and wear a steel/gold Submariner. Don't worry about what others think, but what you love.
