It's a big enough mental barrier to commit to the first one. If your not in a position to move on it when the call does come, take a hit on your DJ41 to finance it.

That way you can enjoy a Rolex you like/want now, create a purchase history etc. That would be my advice, assuming you don't want to go grey, which, understandably most first time buyers don't.

Forget about the hot pieces, they are simply unobtainable to regular folk like you and me. There are plenty of nice Rolex's readily available to get you started if you are serious about getting into the brand.

A lot of members on here will shoot you down as new posters are frowned upon for expressing frustrations at acquiring hard to get pieces. I get it, anyone who is just getting into the brand over these past few years has went through the exact same thing as what you are going through now.

Sometimes the wait can be a blessing in disguise as the time you spend waiting, looking and researching etc you get to understand what YOU really like and not what the hype train is offering up on IG etc.

You won't find one, quicker you accept that and move on the better. Good Luck in your quest, I hope you can prove me wrong.

Thanks for your support, much appreciated.

I'm indeed getting into the brand and been doing a lot of reading and research, tried on a friend's Batgirl, another one's DJ 41 and they looked just stunning, hence my frustration when I couldn't get these
