I am new here so I thought I should introduce myself. My name is Beth. I am 38 years old and live in the UK.

When I told my husband that I want a Rolex he didn't bat an eyelid. He said I am worth it! What a sweetheart! I am going to spend the next few months learning about the brand as I save up. I can't wait for the day that I put my very own Rolex on my wrist.

I look forward to being a member here and getting to know you all.

Hello Beth! Welcome to TRF! You're gonna enjoy your stay here in TRF! Hope You get your Rolex Soon! In Which model are u interested?

rolex sweep · 13 October 2009, 05:45 AM

Welcome to Rolex Forums! i am new too!!

Welshwatchman · 13 October 2009, 05:47 AM

A great big welcome from me, Beth.

There is plenty of good stuff here as well as a chunky portion of nonsense.

Taking your time in deciding which watch and which seller/dealer will ensure you get the absolute best piece for the best price.

Beth · 13 October 2009, 05:51 AM

Hello rolex sweep, nice to meet another newbie!

Hi datejust1, I really like this one... (not sure if the pic will work)

welshwatchman thank you for the welcome! I am looking forward to some nonsense! The only place I can buy a Rolex here is the local big jewellers. I used to work there and I believe they won't discount a Rolex. I hope I can get a deal somewhere!

Nice one Beth! Well there is this new fashion trend of women wearing men's Rolexes! Which depending on the model looks great!! But if this one is your choice, go for it!

Beth · 13 October 2009, 05:57 AM

I like seeing the mens watches on women but I don't think it would work for me. Plus I am slightly worried about being mugged for my posh watch so I want something a little bit smaller.

Give me a year of wearing a smaller one then I bet I will be sporting a nice big one!

Yeah! That's the spirit!! I have a DateJust Two Tone (TT) and my GF loves wearing it!

Beth · 13 October 2009, 06:01 AM

I tried to persuade my hubby to have one but he wants a Tag or Breitling. But he can't refuse a Rolex if I buy it as a gift can he? Then I can borrow it! Sorted!

Welshwatchman · 13 October 2009, 06:03 AM

You've got great taste Beth.

The ice white dial plus jubilee is a classy combo.

Just promise to try on the 36mm version of it (116200) before you take the plunge. That model is as much currency on the wrist as a Submariner providing you get the 20% discount from an AD or 30% discount from a trader.

It also looks sweet on the smallest of wrists.

Welcome to the obsession, Beth.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. My local jewellers only has a small selection of Rolex. I might need to travel further afield so I can try on as many as possible.

I promise to try the one you suggested.

Thanks Dan! It will become an obsession too. I can feel it starting already!!

Art 1 · 13 October 2009, 06:08 AM

Welcome, can't wait to see what you end up with. I bought my wife a Rolex over 9 years ago and it's run non stop since.

Beth: LOL! He cannot refuse a Rollie as a Gift!! If he does....
Welshwatchman: She does have great tastes! I think she does need to try on the 36 mm!

Beth · 13 October 2009, 06:18 AM

I will try them all on! Even the biggest chunkiest mens watch. Hows that?

Art 1 I bet I am on my third by the time 9 years passes! I wonder if you can trade them in.. like cars? Now that would be good!

If you buy the right watch at the right price you can get the vast majority of your money back.

I bought my wife a gold/diamond Raymond Weil for her 35th birthday knowing that the watch would be worth £££££ less as soon as I left the jewellers, but that was the one she wanted and I just couldn't persuade her to like Rolex.

There's love for you (or stupidity maybe

)

Beth · 13 October 2009, 06:24 AM

Brilliant! Well thats good to know. I tend to want to change things like watches and jewellery after a while.

Beth · 13 October 2009, 07:14 AM

Absolutely! If I can save up for it and nobody is going hungry it shouldn't matter!

Welcome Beth. Make sure you try on a lot of different ones. Seeing it on your own wrist is the best way to know the right one.
