Hi from New England!
This is my first post. I finally decided to start looking for a Rolex. It appears I have a lot of research to do and a lot to learn. Hopefully, I'll find a late model DateJust. So far I think I narrowed it down to TT, SS/YG, stick or Roman dial, jubilee bracelet. I wonder if it's too much to expect to get a watch in near mint condition. completely original with original papers and box, etc. I'm not against buying used but am a little wary about doing it.
Well, hi to the forum! |

Hi, it's worth taking your time to learn about sellers and all the other aspects including pitfalls of acquiring a Rolex. It's not as straight forward as many may think.
