Which Rolex Under $9,000 USD?
Which new Rolex watch under $9,000 should I get? This will be my first Rolex, and I would like to wear it every day. Thank you.

Looks really different having one Go for the SubC Robust Classic Reliable And with history Matches suits or plain clothing Adjustable size and can be used at the beach Downsides Common and many other brands have copied its style I dont care about that personally Other than that its a must for any real Rolex follower in my opinion |

A watch is obviously a very personal thing so i dont really think anyones opinion matters other than your own...
Having said that, Ive hidden a subliminal message at the bottom of this post that may help you decide...see if you can spot it.... BUY THE SUBMARINER - YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENCE.....

Depends on if you can live with a watch with no date. I wear a Tudor Black Bay in my rotation and find that I don't miss the date complication at all. Also, I prefer the symmetry of the dial on watches without dates. In the end, go with what you like best, I don't think you can really go wrong

Get the one with the date. Its actually a very useful complication. Or for your budget I'd seriously look at an explorer 2 or even a 5 digit sub.

BLNR (Batman) GMT retails for $8950 if you get it at an AD (it’s selling for a premium through the secondary market).
It’s an incredible watch. Beautiful and with date and the gmt complication. |

Which Rolex Under $9,000 USD?
If he can find one at that price The sub is an easy pick, either with date (my choice) or ND. Suggest you buy pre-owned / pre loved as you can spend way less and perhaps get another used Rolex or Tudor, like a Rolex Datejust or Tudor Date Day with the $9k budget Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

For a one watch wearing it all the time its hard to beat the SubC date. If you don't need a date complication then the no date is great too. I have a BLNR but as a one watch the PCL's may not always fit depending on your lifestyle choices. However the BLNR can still pull it off, just the SubC does it easier dressing up or down.
Now you just have to find one at an AD. Good luck! Sent from my VS996 using Tapatalk

Awesome watch, but probably not feasible considering it’s his first and I doubt he would be willing to pay a 100%+ premium to acquire it immediately.

Another vote for the SubC, very cool watch. I do not miss the date function at all.

As above, SubC Date. As nice as the colored GMTs may be, supply issues aside, I would find colour too much for an everyday watch I’d want to wear in the office
