Advice Needed! 1st time buyer.
Hi all,
I want to buy my first Rolex watch (always had Swatch watches) and been looking around for a while now. I've visited showrooms in North and Central London but prices are ridiculous compared to prices online. My preference is something that's still in production and 34-36mm with white dial so I've decided to go with either 115200 or 115210. Which one of these two would you guys recommend? http://watchfinder.co.uk/Rolex/Oyste...881/item/28471 https://www.chrono24.com/en/rolex/da...arch/index.htm Thanks for your time, Ramon. |

Watchfinder have a mixed reputation so be cautious and don't let them pressure you and make sure you go and see it in person, it might all be fine.

I looked at a number of places before I bought mine. Check out a few.

If you'll hang around here for awhile, you can learn enough to make a good decision on which model might be best for you. Don't rush.
The Date models are called 34mm models (along with the AK's) and the Datejusts are called 36mm. I prefer the Datejust, in general, for the slight size difference and the huge choice in dials, etc. |

And there may be a very good reason for that.
