New member from Australia - need help with a Rolex gift

[kimmi_au]

Hello everyone,

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my post. My husband loves watches, but never treats himself to actually own a watch like Rolex, so I have decided that for his 40th birthday, I am going to buy him one. I still have a little over 12 months to learn about these watches and what I should do.

Ultimately, I have a budget of no more than AUD $10,000 (Currently USD7800) and would even like to stay under that if possible.

I've been looking pre-loved, and to my excitement, a Rolex isn't out of the question, but I need advice on what I should do. Should I go a brand new entry level Rolex, or try for something a little more, but pre-loved? For his first Rolex, I'd prefer something in excellent condition and would appreciate any advice you can give me.

Thank you all so much in advance :)

Kimberley
