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?

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.
