35, retired for 7 years now because of business exit. I dont have a Rolex, trying to decide which one to buy - i have used like last 3 days trying to figure out which one to buy. I am kind of new to watches, so basic knowledge was on low level, very low level actually. I really feel like home here in Rolexforum, nice feeling.

Options are:
Datejust with azzurro dial
Daytona Cosmograph Steel and ceramic bezel
Daytona Cosmograph Platinum and ceramic bezel (if i cant get steel with ceramic in reasonable time)

Retired at 35, now that's a beautiful thought, congratulations!

Out of your list, I would go for the Daytona with steel and ceramic bezel.

I don't have a Rolex either but as detailed in other threads, I want my first to be a Rolex Submariner Date and a brand new example (2017 or 2018) as it could be my one and only. I currently own a Tag Heuer McLaren Formula 1 and an Apple Watch Series 2.

I'm 32 years old and work as a Lead Software Tester for a business App. We're doing alright but I don't think I'm going to retire anytime soon! :)

Yes, mergers and acquisitions are lottery winnings sometimes - needs about the same amount of luck as well :)

It is both i would say. I dont like anything flashy and by that i mean yellow gold, diamonds etc.

I added Day Date blue dial to my list.

I own and operate a small technical staffing firm in the Toronto area.
I have a Sub (168000), and a SS Datejust (1601). Though I don't wear either to work- prefer to fly a little more under the radar with a Speedy Pro or a Tudor Oyster Prince.
