The final 3: Choosing my first Rolex

[cis11]

Hey everyone,

Just joined the forum recently and I have been tediously researching as I am finally committing myself to save up for my first rolex. Searching within vintage and modern(ish) watches I think I have narrowed down my journey.

Probably in order of interest I would say:

1) GMT Master II Ref 16710 with pepsi bezel. - I love the sportiness of the watch but it sets itself apart from other sport rolexes without compromising the general look. At Gettysburg college, the go-to watch for parents to get their kids for graduating high school seems to be the submariner. This seems to be a win win for me getting my desired look but at the same time not being the same as the others.

2) Submariner SS 16610- I still can't help but look at the sub because to people who aren't in tune with watches this seems to be the model that comes to mind when they think Rolex. The black goes with everything and is a sharp look that can be dressed up and dressed down (as if you all didn't know already)

Downside: again going to a college with a big sticker price you see lots of kids who have these.

3) Vintage Datejust 1603 1972-1973 with grey dial - This is different from the others. The color reminds me of my very first watch that I bought myself: A grey nixon time teller P. You could say I have upgraded since then It also has a smaller sticker price.


Let me know what you all think!

P.S. I added only the photo of the Datejust because this is the actual watch I would be buying where as I haven't found the others yet, Except I have a 16710 pepsi on the forum that I am eyeing up.
