Yet another newbie
First of all I would like to say hello to you all and I look forward to enjoying all aspects of this forum
The first moment I clapped eyes on a Rolex I was very young and not in any kind of a position to purchase one Things change and now I am looking for my first ever Rolex watch  I do however have a very big decision to make and one that I would like some advice on if you good people would be so kind The search has been narrowed down to two models, it was always going to be a sub but the problem was which one as I have fallen in love with two The two models I have narrowed my search down to are the 16610 or the newer 116610 or the 16613 or the newer 116613 OK that is four models I hear you say and yes you’re correct but I am sure you all get where I am coming from Black or Blue Old or New I say new it will be a pre-owned example I am looking for The watch will be an everyday watch and may be my only purchase that is unless I trade it in and get another model at a later date but for now let me ask you one question If you were to purchase one and only one Rolex which model would you choose from my list and why Answer’s on a postcard or please feel free to post your expert replies below Thank you in advance |

Welcome! The four you are looking at are all nice. It really is going to come down to what you like. Go to a local AD and try them on and buy what you like the most. Good Luck!
