Hello from East Sussex ,uk

Hi

I’m so glad I’ve found this forum as I need help and advice .

I’m looking at getting a Rolex for my 50th birthday in April . I’m looking at a datejust 26 and would love a Mop dial with diamond bezel and hidden clasp . If I can find a 1973 one that would be amazing . I’ve seen one on eBay but but wary about buying one on eBay . It has papers . What do you guys/girls think ?

Welcome. If this is your first foray into vintage, stick to well-known sellers. There are a few good ones in the uk.

Welcome to the forum.

I'd stay away from ebay for your first Rolex. You really need to know exactly what to look for in a watch when it comes to ebay. And even then....I'd probably still stay away.

I don't believe a bracelet from 1973 would have a hidden clasp, FYI.
