My first Rolex

So I finally decided that I was ready to buy a Rolex! I found one that I really like but am now not sure if I should have gotten WG as this one is SS Bezel. What do you guys think? Is the WG worth the added cost?

Welcome!

Not sure I understand your question. WG Bezels are pretty standard. They do not really add to the cost of a watch like DJ etc.

This one has a SS Bezel...kinda wondering if I should have gotten a WG one instead! Can't believe I finally own a Rolex!

That is a beautiful watch! I love the 3-6-9 dial, and the new style engine turned bezel is much nicer than the older. Personally I prefer all SS and that bezel adds a lot of character. I am pretty convinced that you will not see many of those.

A very fine decision. Congrats!

Best,

A

well I personally like the engine turn bezels (SS bezel). But when it comes time to reselling it if you ever do the value on an SS bezel lowers the watch by like 300 bucks compared to a WG bezel. Hope this helps
