If the Sub appeals to you, buy it, new or used, and you'll never need another watch. If you get the Rolex that fits your lifestyle, I'd be amazed if you wear the rest of the collection.

Go to an AD and try on a bunch.

I didn't go in looking for an Explorer, but once I saw it on my wrist, I had to have it and it's hardly left my wrist since.

wow! Thanks to all of you for replying. The only reason why the Submariner was the first thing that popped in my head was because that's really all I'm familiar with.

I like the ability to both wear it for casual, business, and formal attire. Does that change anything?

My question is which Rolex to get? I want something durable, masculine, accurate, no-fluff type of watch. Previous watches I own are a GShock 6900, a Movado Eliro, and a Marathon TSAR and CSAR.

I think I want a Submariner, since that's what 007 wore, but my daily watch is already a tool watch (Marathon TSAR). The truth is I'm not very knowledgeable of Rolex watches and I need help in making the best choice for me. I have no qualms getting a pre-owned watch as long as it has long life ahead.

Get a 16610LV

Thanks in advance

Get the no date Sub if you want James Bond, that is unless you like the Bond of the 1980s. I believe he had a Sub Date.
