Input Needed - (Hopeful) New Purchase

[MattyL147]

Long time lurker. First time poster.

I am looking to purchase my first Rolex within the next 6-12 months. I'm going to be going with a DJII. My issue is, which one.

I am looking either at a new SS Rodium/Blue Arabic, with fluted bezel or a pre-owned TT Grey/Green Roman DJII.

Both are beautiful watches but very different looks.

I likely will be able to get them both for a similar price - within a few hundred dollars of each other. I know it all depends on what I like and I should purchase whichever suits me better, but I like hearing other's thoughts. In the end, I know whichever I choose will be the right one. I'm just torn. Same watch; 2 diff styles; new vs. pre-owned.

Also, I currently have a TAG Carrera Day/Date and a Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Chronometer. I'm thinking about possibly putting the UN in a trade towards the Rolex, but again, I'm torn. 3 watches are better than 2, but the trade would obviously help defray some of the cost.

Just looking for some input.

Thanks.
