Considering a DD II (if financing options are available) or TT Sub blue dial

[Hiya Buddy]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to decide between two fabulous Rolex watches. I already own 2, both TT DJ IIs, and I'm thinking of getting a third sometime in 2012. My choices seem to be the best, as I have verified that my mom likes both watches and she wants me to pick the right one (I'm 19, not some 40 year old guy living in his mom's basement).

My first option is a TT Sub C steel and yellow gold with blue dial/bezel. It's been advertised around Boston and an AD (Ross Simons) has a poster of it on their wall. Its a pretty classic piece and I would eventually like to own a watch from the Submariner collection. Honestly, I really like it because my first ever watch was the TT DJ II steel and yellow gold with champagne diamond dial and fluted bezel. It was the watch that literally caught my eye on my summer vacation to Aruba and my first Rolex. Never in a million years would I suspect that I would own a Rolex until my mom said "Let's get it, you seem to really like it."

My second choice is rather lavish and would give me that conceited bastard look. It is the DD II in Rose Gold possibly diamond dial, but I think the Arabic numbers are cool enough seeing as the watch itself is flashy enough and the diamonds would take away from the gold. I choose this one over the WG and YG because I don't have anything RG yet and the Platinum one would enslave my family and I in debt.

Now I have a question. I have heard that there are jewelers that offer 2 or 3 years of financing. The only one I have heard of so far is one in London and problem is I live in the US and not looking to go to London just for a watch. Don't get me wrong England is a wonderful country, I have been there, it just doesn't seem practical to travel 3000 miles to buy a time piece although I went to Aruba but I wasn't searching for a Rolex at the time and just happened to buy one. Anybody know of a jeweler in the northeast (maybe NYC or Boston) that will offer that sort of financing because I cannot get 37 grand on hand and I am not at the liberty to put it on a credit card. If anybody knows about this you will be a big help.

So I'm torn between these two watches. At Long's Jewelers here in Boston the sales associate offered me the TT blue dial sub for around 10,300 plus tax on the full price of the watch. I am wondering if wearing a DD II is a little too much for me considering my age, I mean I'm not even 30 yet and heck I'm not even married with kids or a house. Sales people have told me it will look a little unusual for my age and people in the younger crowd tend to go for Subs and a TT watch in steel and yellow gold is kinda pushing it for the younger crowd. So I don't think they're trying to scam me or force me into buying it. I never let a rep push me around when buying because it's a big investment.

I can say that I have tried the YG DD II when I was Hawaii last year over the summer. I didn't think about buying one then, but a year later and with two Rolex watches I'm seriously considering the DD II in RG if I could find a jeweler with a financing option seeing as the most I could put up would be around 15 grand or half its price. If not I will "settle" for the Sub ha ha because it's still a nice watch. Again if anyone can help with finding a jeweler with financing options it would be much appreciated.

So what do you guys think. Which watch is the right one for me. I love the DD II but I also the sub. And what better place to seek an answer than TRF.

Thanks for your help, any answers are appreciated!
