First Rolex.

[Contrarian]

Hey, this is my very first post here.

I've been reading this form for the past 3 years but haven't signed up until now. And I think its time to start looking to buy my first Rolex within the next year.

I would like to know what justified your first Rolex purchase, and if it changed the way you went forward in life.

To be in this position I spent most of my 20s working and being responsible instead of young and stupid.

I'm afraid that may be one of my biggest regrets going forward and I feel like I've reached a cap perhaps a little burnt out.

My eye is on the Datejust II 116333 Champagne Dial + Diamonds. Does anyone own this watch, what do you personally think about it?..

And if there are any tips for buying a Rolex and haggling down the price it would be much appreciated, last time I went to the local AD the prices they were quoting seemed to have $3,000 markups over prices I've seen online.

I look forward to being a part of this great online community.
