I have had about 5 Rolexes over the years, an Air-King was my first purchase in 1989, and I've had a few Datejust's. I sold them for various reasons, but now I want to purchase a Rolex again.

Now my budget is about £3,500, not a lot I know, so I am not sure what to do,? Do I buy a brand new Rolex Oyster 2015, for the money (You can't beat having a new Rolex), or do I buy a secondhand Rolex and get more for my money if you like??? What's your thoughts?

Not sure how anyone can answer. You have as much money as you have unless you use credit. Do you want to use credit?

What have you tried on?

What do you like?

My thoughts are to buy what you like, want to own and wear.

Good luck!

For me, I'd prefer a mint -like new - watch from a trusted seller here. More for your money IMO.

Thanks for the replies, I can't get the credit, I like the Datejust, I also like the Explorer 2 16570. My dream watch is the new Rolex 40m Everose Day-date

Preowned and get the most watch for your $$$.

I've just picked up a new OP and really like it. If you liked your DJs it should suit you.

Looking at prices over here for used watches it's tricky to get something great for £3.5k (well, at least a Rolex anyway).
